about us

Founded in 1978 by New York City artists Sandy Chilewich and Kathy Moskal, HUE began with a simple idea — adding a pop of color to everyday life. While experimenting with hand-dyeing plain satin flats in rich jewel tones, they caught the attention of friends and family who were eager to get their own. That spark of creativity gave rise to HUE, a brand that quickly made its mark on the fashion world. Featured in Vogueand launching at the iconic Henri Bendel, HUE established itself early on as a leader in color and self-expression. What began as a small creative endeavor grew into a beloved brand known for transforming the ordinary into something vibrant and uplifting. For nearly fifty years, HUE has been dedicated to making getting dressed more joyful, expressive, and personal. With decades of expertise in designing legwear, sleepwear, leggings, tops, bottoms, and slippers, we continue to innovate with bold colors and fresh designs. Our goal is simple — to turn the everyday act of dressing into a creative experience. Our Values​ At HUE, we believe in the power of color, creativity, and connection.
