About the brand
Romeo Hunte New York is a definitive lifestyle apparel brand launched in 2014 by West Indian, Brooklyn-born designer Romeo Hunte. Drawing inspiration from 1990s Brooklyn street culture—oversized jeans, hoodies, and the raw energy he witnessed outside his apartment—Hunte creates an aesthetic that masterfully balances edgy sophistication with feminine and masculine attributes. His signature collaged outerwear mixes the ease of sportswear with luxe tailoring, creating hybrid pieces that are both transitional and transformable. Known for his distinctive buffalo check pattern, Hunte's designs quickly gained celebrity attention, with early adopters including Zendaya and Beyoncé, followed by Michelle Obama, Lewis Hamilton, and Chris Paul. Mentored by Tommy Hilfiger, Hunte has been featured in Vogue, Forbes, and invited to the Met Gala. Starting with just $5000 from his personal shopping job, he has built a brand that redefines American streetwear through intricate details and impeccable craftsmanship.
