Completely inspired by this design I could not wait for Monica Outlander to release Miamai's Vali to bloggers for the Style Icon Event. The premise of the event is to do a design that is inspired by a style icon. The designers were given latitude in their choice of style icon. The style icon could be anyone who inspired everyone or just the designers themselves. Now this is the part I love. Monica brought this event close to her heart and selected someone who inspires her both as an artist and as one of her personal heroes. She chose Vali Myers. Vali was a larger then life woman who embraced her own personal style. She funneled her beliefs, her passion, and her life experience into her art work. Vali Myers inspired designers, artists, photographers, and writers becoming an icon of the bohemian artist. With the Vali release Monica captures Vali's spirit and the bohemian essence translating it into a casual but chic look, that encourages you to wear your hair a little messy, wear big rings, and dance with the wild abandonment life deserves. I have to say that if this is a glimpse of what is to come from Monica and Miamai I am excited. Monica has turned a corner in her creations channeling her intensity and artwork into her designs, in essence honoring Vali Myers to the core.

Oh and I only added a little grain to the first photo. I really did not want to mess with Vali Myers painting. I am standing inside an egg I plastered with her painting, Winters Rooster. To learn more about Vali Myers you can go to her trusts website.
