Adding another feather to his proverbial collaboration cap, Tommy Hilfiger’s latest partnership is with Brooklyn designer and long-time mentee, Romeo Hunte. Launched on August 12, the collection fittingly named TommyXRomeo dives into the Hilfiger archives. It includes reconstructed interpretations of iconic pieces like his classic trench coat remixed with colour-blocking panels. This new line is part of the brand’s People’s Place Program, an initiative created to provide opportunities for underrepresented BIPOC fashion talent and foster a diverse and inclusive community. In a statement Hilfiger wrote, “I’m really proud of our capsule — it’s truly a meeting point of our two worlds. Together we’ve really focused on passing the mic to the next generation of BIPOC creatives and thought leaders to increase representation and amplify their talent globally. ”
