Mayhem's mom (and also her assistant paper dress maker), Angie Keiser,
shared news that J.Crew's Executive Creative Director Jenna Lyons hired
her talented offspring to design a kids collection for the brand's
Crewcuts line, to be released during the Summer 2015 season.
"I remember reading the email [from Lyons] and being certain it was a setup," Angie shared via her blog
on Dec. 9. "As in, it’s probably some kind of wicked virus that if I
reply to it, my laptop will explode or at the very least melt before my
eyes. (My thinking is irrational on occasion.)"
After obviously replying yes to Lyons' inquiry email, the
mother-daughter duo were off to go make a collection in New York City.
The
brand was just as impressed with the young Ohio native. "When we met
with Mayhem for the first time we were really curious to see how she
would work, and were amazed to watch this barely 4-year-old girl start
meticulously folding the pleats on a skirt, and placing stones very
specifically and carefully on a top she had just fashioned around
herself," J.Crews' Jenny Cooper said in a release.
All of the items will be under $100 (starting at $22.50), with clothing, shoes, and accessories.

"Mayhem and her new crew all sat down on the floor and played. And made
stuff," she wrote. "Out of paper and tape and beads and glue and
crayons. And they laughed and hugged and had more fun than I would have
imagined. And then they sprinkled their magic J.Crew fairydust on it and
turned paper into fabric."
