.TommyHilfiger has taken mentoring to another level with his co-designed collection with Romeo Hunte.
The brand, which is owned by PVH Corp., will roll out the Tommy x Romeo capsule today, codesigned with Brooklyn designer and Hilfiger’s long-term mentee, Romeo Hunte. The dual gender fall collection digs into the Hilfiger archives, using Hunte’s signature deconstruction techniques to reconstruct, remix and reimagine iconic pieces such as the classic bonded trenchcoat remixed with sailing jacket colorblocking or clashed with a leather biker jacket.
“As a young, upcoming designer, I was lucky to be guided by incredible leaders who made a huge impact on my career,” said Hilfiger. “I am passionate about passing that on, mentoring the next generation of design talent. Romeo Hunte is one of those truly exceptional newcomers — someone you know is going to make an impact as soon as you can see his work. I’m really proud of our capsule — it’s truly a meeting point of our two worlds.
Known for his outerwear, Hunte said he wanted to use mixed media, pointing out an overcoat with a blazer on the outside. For the “It’s Just a Trench” piece, “it’s not just a trench.” said Hunte. “You can remove the sleeve, you can drop the waist. I thought about the yellow, I thought about Tommy 90s, the cobalt blue. It’s a perfect piece that reminds me of my childhood.”Hilfiger said he met Hunte about five years ago, he was very impressed with his drive and became his mentor.
The collection features about 21 pieces including accessories that will drop today. “We think it will sell out very quickly and then we’ll go back to the drawing board,” said Hilfiger.
