My first encounter with Ms Hayley Mei was while dj'ng at one of the hottest nights in Melbourne where I was presented on stage by one of the freshest Nike Air Max chains I had ever seen. Actually, Id never seen a sneaker with so much detail on a chain before. Hayley specializes in carving perplex into bold, street culture influenced imagery, set off with a mirror backing to really pack a punch and blind those checkin' out your floss! Debuting recently at Provider in Melbourne's CBD, dont sweat it, if your feeling this awesome art, you too can just hit up the uber friendly Hayley at her website for all stockists and keep an eye out for an online store coming very soon.
Best described by the creator, Hayley Mei has this to say about how she started this booming label, recently seen on French Graff artist FAFI while taggin' up Melbourne's streets on her recent tour, "I was sick to death of seeing horses, unicorns, butterflies and swallows being offered as girls jewellery. Some of it is meant to be a little tongue in cheek (eg Bird of Paradise) and pokes fun at other jewellery (Wing of Fire) so I'm stoked if you have a laugh too."
Who is Hayley Mei for? It's for grown up girls. Girls that ooze confidence, have a bit of attitude and are a little sexy, a little cheeky.
Hayley’s aim is to provide girls with something cool, something that you can team up with some fresh out the box shoes and a favorite tee.
Now lurking in Melbourne, Australia, Hayley enjoys the company of design nerds, sneaker freaks, attention seekers and night cats. Make sure if you're in Melbourne to hit up Provider at their CBD location and pick up some of the freshest designs to come out of Meltown in a whiles.
