One of the most impressive things to take note of on the colorful Fall clothing from the Vivien Ramsay A/W 2014 collection is that all of the colors you see were created by the designer herself. Infusing true originality in her garments by harvesting her own dyes forced Ramsay to develop her own Pantone-like color reference system to bring order to her natural dyes.
Rather than being laden with unknown chemicals that will eventually work their way into the skin, Ramsay takes pride in the purity of her garments. Since the colors of the collection are all naturally sourced, the clothing has an inherent closeness to nature since the local flora and fauna available dictates the colors that will be used in her collections.
