Ranging in a color palette primarily of black with yellow accents in rich outerwear, and gold goddess looks which closed out the collection, silhouettes were sleek and curvy to accentuate just the right angles.

Haft Theater, the “runway” for the Romeo Hunte Fall/Winter 2020 collection at New York Fashion Week. Elevated, luxe sportswear with the Hunte deconstructive style of tailoring was evident once again in his latest stylish collection. Male and female models confidently walked the aisles and onto the stage to an adoring crowd which filled the theater to capacity.

There is a level of sophisticated modernity blended with tailoring and unexpected sexiness. Rich green, fuschia, pops of lavender and a jolt of neon yellow are grounded with black as the color palette. What especially caught our eye were the looks with mesh fabric and strategically located fringe and threaded details for added levels of interest and uniqueness.

This is a brand we can’t wait to see again next season!

It was a showcase and celebration of all facets of a woman’s life–from work and play, to family and self focus.

Composed of separates and dresses that can be easily combined in various ways, the color pallete ranged from earthy tones to vivid florals. “I wanted to design from our origins of a west meets east coast sensibility, by integrating natural elements of the earth tones, floral patterns and silhouettes,” according to Minkoff.

The presentation also included accessories ranging from handbags in bright pops of neon, to shoes with pearl and bow details, to jewelry to complete each look.

And new for this season, Minkoff introduced “Little Minkoff”–eco-friendly kid’s clothing which uses a technology to help mitigate waste, labor and packaging through a block-chain traceability system. Garments are made only when an order is placed. The collection, which ranges in children’s sizes age 4 to 12, will launch February 2020 on www.littleminkoff.com.
