NEW YORK — Amidst the flurry of creativity and style that defines New York Fashion Week, designer Romeo Hunte emerged as a standout, presenting his new line in a show presented by IMG at the prestigious Mercedes Benz Manhattan location. The event, which marked Hunte’s 10th anniversary in the fashion industry, was a celebration of his evolution as a designer.
Front and center at the Romeo Hunte NYFW24 show were music celebrities Dave East and Fabolous, adding a touch of star power to an already electrifying atmosphere. As the lights dimmed and the music filled the room, attendees were treated to a showcase of bold and innovative designs that captured the essence of modern tailoring and elevated streetwear.
Hunte’s collection made a dramatic statement with bold all-red attire, setting a mood that was undeniably sexy and provocative. From puffy corset dresses to long-trained corset gowns, each piece exuded confidence and sophistication, reflecting Hunte’s signature style.
To complement the striking designs, renowned makeup artist Sir John took charge, adorning the models with bold matte red lipstick from Danessa Myricks’ Colorfix Mattes Collection. The decision to focus on a statement lip was a deliberate one, with Sir John aiming to accentuate the collection’s bold aesthetic while paying homage to Hunte’s Brooklyn roots.
In preparation for the show, Sir John meticulously prepped the models’ skin, using Beauty Stat’s Probiotic 24hr Moisture Boost Cream to repair the skin barrier function, Universal C Eye Perfector to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and Peptide Wrinkle Relaxing Moisturizer to lift, firm, and smooth the skin. The result was a flawless complexion that served as the perfect canvas for the bold makeup looks.
In keeping with the collection’s theme of celebrating diversity and individuality, the models also showcased their natural tresses, highlighting their kinks and coils with effortless elegance. The overall effect was a celebration of authenticity and self-expression, perfectly encapsulating the spirit of Hunte’s hometown.
As the curtain fell on another exhilarating edition of New York Fashion Week, Romeo Hunte’s show stood out as a testament to creativity, innovation, and the enduring power of fashion to inspire and captivate. With each piece meticulously crafted to perfection, Hunte proved once again why he is one of the most exciting designers to watch in the industry today.
