His publicist Marion Greenberg confirmed the news but a cause of death has not been revealed.
Friend and former employer Miguel Adrover said Hidalgo had been living in a homeless shelter as he awaited qualifying for subsidized housing, WWD reports.
Adrover added that the designer had been difficult to reach recently.
“I know he was not feeling well. It was really hard to get in touch with him,” Adrover told WWE.
“I would tell him all the time, ‘Peter, love, you should move back to Santo Domingo, because you have your family.’ Also, you know how New York is. If you don’t have money, it is really a hard city to survive. He was not young either. I was devastated.”
Hidalgo won the Fashion Group International’s “Rising Star” award in 2010.
