Romeo Hunte Re: Defining Business Wear
The first time I ever became enamored of business attire, I worked at Merrill Lynch. It was my first time ever having a suit tailored to my physique, and to this day, there’s nothing like it. But one day, I was inspired to wear my newly bought leather biker jacket in place of my suit jacket, and I was floored with what I saw in my full-length mirror. How could something so rugged, fit so well with something so straight-laced and business-y. Not only did the combo work, it blew everyone’s mind who saw it.
Of course, Romeo Hunte is beyond all that. My fondness for audacious business attire is what attracted me to his line, and to his presentation at New York fashion Week SS20.
