Romeo Hunte looks to his menswear line for womenswear inspiration

New York-based designer Romeo Hunte launched his latest womenswear collection at New York’s Chelsea Piers this past weekend. Hunte explained to WWD that the collection is part SS19 and part see-now-buy-now. Like many collections shown at New York Fashion Week this season, Hunte’s takes a cue from streetwear, incorporating sweatshirt-inspired pieces complete with drawstrings, custom neoprene, oversized collars, buffalo check and black denim.
