Romeo Hunte is a New York-based fashion label founded in 2013 that has linked its design approach to sustainability through made-to-order production, limited runs, and the reuse of existing materials. The brand has said it does not like to waste and has used pre-order and custom work to avoid sitting on stock. Hunte has also described upcycling as part of his design practice, including the use of archival pieces and vintage garments. Alongside this, the brand has connected sustainability with inclusivity and support for emerging Black designers in the fashion industry.

ROMEO HUNTE Sustainability Actions

Made-to-order and no stock

“We really don’t like to waste, so that on its own meant we weren't sitting on stock,” he says. “We started asking, what does our customer actually want right now?”

Produced face masks

The natural answer, aside from the more flamboyant pieces still available on his website, was a range of face masks—a product that, for Hunte, fulfilled more than just a practical need.

Used archival Hilfiger pieces

In February, he unveiled his Fall/Winter 2020 collection that incorporated archival looks from Tommy Hilfiger. The partnership came about organically for Hunte who has always been a master of deconstructing classic silhouettes into unexpected, high-fashion creations.

Upcycled vintage garments

When I first started designing as a little kid, I used to take my mother’s clothes and upcycle those pieces. I think it’s essential for fashion houses to take a more sustainable approach both physically and ethically.

Created upcycled pieces

“It's really organic, and I haven't ever really promoted or pushed it, but in a lot of my previous collections, there were great upcycled pieces that brought to life like the visions and ideas I had,” Hunte adds.
