A friend of ours shared a post on our Facebook wall (thanks Stephanie!) that alerted us to the most adorable fashion designer we have ever seen.  

Meet Mayhem:
#Fashionbymayhem, Mayhem Fashion Designer
Meet Mayhem, a gorgeous 4-year old who is creating stunning dresses out of paper, glue and tape.
At the ripe old age of 4, she takes the award for youngest fashion designer...AND she would take the cake on the unconventional materials challenge on Project Runway.  Seriously.  All of her gowns are made of construction paper, wrapping paper, tulle and anything else handy and malleable.  Mayhem creates the looks herself (okay, along with the help of her mom) which take anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours - with breaks in-between of course.  We're pretty certain that if we ever have a daughter we are going to join in on this fabulous and incredibly creative idea.

We're not sure if she plans on continuing her fashion design career but we defiantly think she's one to watch!  Why does this dynamic duo spend hours creating dresses that she doesn't wear very long?  Mayhem's mom gives the perfect answer:

"Truthfully, the dress making is more about spending time with my favorite pint sized person everyday and watching her learn and grow.  And seeing the sparks of creativity and completely uninhibited imagination.  Her mind is wildly creative and hasn't been spoiled by the idea that there are things that are impossible.  I hope to keep it that way for as long as possible."  

Why can't get enough of these two.  Follow @2sisters_angie and check out #fashionbymayhem to keep up with the magic on Instagram  and check out their website at Fashion By Mayhem for a full question and answer section and some articles.  We can't wait to see what Mayhem comes up with next!

We can't get enough of this little fashion designer - Mayhem spends time with her mom creating gowns fit for a pint-sized princess.

Channeling her inner minnie-mouse, Mayhem creates her gowns with some help from her mom and then poses in them for photos - sounds like a girl after our own heart!

Mayhem's version of the beautiful Dior gown that Jennifer Lawrence wore to the 2014 Golden Globes.

Not one to fall behind on fashion, Mayhem incorporates two of the most popular trends of the moment - floral and applique...we're in love with her sense of adventure.

We can certainly see this little lady as a contest on Project Runway one day!  Though she doesn't get to watch the show, her mom sometimes shows her outfits they make to serve as inspiration.  We love her attention to detail - all the way down to the headphones :-)

Not only a designer, Mayhem also poses in all her clothing and manages to look incredibly stylish!

This look combines three of our favorite things:  Marchesa, a DIY lookalike and one completely adorable little girl.

As Mayhem's design and construction skills increased, the complexity of the outfits increased as well.  This purple patterned dress is complete with a white puppy accessory.

Another testament to the success of Lupita Nyong'o's red Calvin Klein gown?  Mayhem liked it so much, she created her own version.

We absolutely cannot encourage this enough!  Parents, please take a note our of Mayhem and her mom's book - let your children follow their heart and encourage them in anything they want to do...their talent may just surprise you!
