When a major retailer announces that a 5-year-old is going to create a capsule collection, you worry that business has taken a bad turn. Until you realize that the kid in question is Mayhem [1], the girl known for the immaculate arts-and-crafts re-creations of red carpet dresses [2] she makes with her mom. If you're like us, you'll buy whatever she's selling.
And today, she's selling an adorable array of girls' clothes and accessories for Crewcuts [3], the children's division of J.Crew. This time, however, the garments aren't made from leftover construction paper. A few months ago, she and her mom, Angie, visited the J.Crew headquarters to collaborate [4] with the design team on a whimsical, precocious approach to the nine-piece offering. And she just came back – with some friends in tow – to see the finished pieces (her favorite is the printed romper "because she likes the design best") for the first time and to, of course, play dress-up.
