It all started with an AquaDoodle mat and Mr. Potato Head glasses: The perfect outfit for a style-savvy little girl.
Since that first dress-up session, a 4-year-old girl, nicknamed Mayhem, and her mother Angie have been using the Instagram hashtag #fashionbyMayhem for the last 14 months to feature the amazing dresses that the pair would create out of paper and other household supplies.
It didn't take long before the adorable photos gathered a huge online following — Angie's Instagram, 2sisters_angie, now has 376,966 followers and photos sometimes get upward of 20,000 "likes."
That Instagram fame has now translated into a collaboration with Vogue.
Angie, Mayhem and Vogue have teamed up to reimagine iconic looks from past years' Met Balls, paper-style. The Met Ball is an annual fundraising gala benefiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, which is run by Vogue's Editor in Chief Anna Wintour, and it's taking place tonight in New York City.
Angie writes on her blog that, in general, dresses can take between five minutes and three hours to make, and that even if Mayham doesn't do everything herself, she always helps with the creations.
So far, Vogue's Instagram has posted several amazing dress creations.
