Ricardo Ramos, London-based designer and 2008 winner of “Clash of the Artists” international fashion competition, chose NYC as his stage to present his SS09 line. He was among the emerging designers showing with Art for Progress during NYFW.
The collection, Back to the Roots, was inspired by this dual-national Spanish born Columbian designer’s heritage. The Spanish flavor, ancestral patterns from the Kuna Native Colombian Communinty and African influences are key elements in this collection.
We can’t praise installation shows enough. The intimate environment encourages touch & feel to its audience and puts the arduous labor of a designer right in your face. This is certainly the case with the Ricardo Ramos line. You see the attention to detail in each garment up close & personal – and the detail in this line is no exception.
