Founded in 1978 by New York artists Sandy Chilewich and Kathy Moskal, HUE began by hand-dyeing Chinese slippers in vibrant colors, quickly landing in Vogue and the iconic Henri Bendel department store. This initial success with color established the brand's foundation before it pivoted to become a dominant force in the legwear market. For decades, HUE has been a go-to source for women seeking expressive, innovative, and comfortable tights, socks, and leggings. Its design approach centers on transforming everyday basics into something more creative and uplifting, with a particular strength in pioneering new styles like denim leggings that offer the look of jeans with the comfort of a knit.
