Get ready for your daily dose of cute. It’s time to meet the world’s youngest designer. Well, you’ve actually met her before. Her nickname is “Mayhem,” and she’s the 4-year-old who recreates famous red carpet dresses out of paper. Thanks to her creative designs, she has more than 440,000 Instagram followers, which helped her just land a major gig.

J. Crew Creative Director Jenna Lyons has enlisted the tot to collaborate on a new collection for the label’s children’s line, Crew Cuts.
“The designer of our next #crewcuts collaboration? 4-year-old fashion blogger and paper dress maker, Mayhem, who visited our office this past spring. Seriously, kids these days,” the brand shared on Instagram along with the adorable photos below.
The young star’s capsule collection (it hits stores summer 2015!) was inspired by her fabulous arts-and-crafts projects, which J. Crew designers then turned into real clothes.
Mayhem’s passion for fashion started when her mom Angie suggested making a dress out of paper during award season last year. Not only was her daughter psyched, but she loved going on Google images and picking out the gowns to make with her mom. Some of her best? Katy Perry‘s music note Valentino Dress from the 2014 Grammy’s and two major fashion moments from the 2014 Golden Globes: Jennifer Lawrence’s Dior Haute Couture gown and Lupita Nyong’o’s red caped Ralph Lauren design.

“At this point she knows exactly how many sheets of construction paper she needs to make herself a top and a bottom,” Angie told the Huffington Post earlier this year. “She can lay the entire thing out and tape it together all by herself.”
