There’s a funny stage somewhere between childhood and the teenage years where getting dressed for sport suddenly becomes a little more complicated. The leggings she happily wore a year ago might not feel quite right anymore. She might be asking for her first sports bra. She wants clothes that feel comfortable when she’s running, stretching or cartwheeling — but she also wants to actually like how they look. And if you’re the one shopping for her, you’ve probably noticed anoth

There’s another reason I’m building hy. that goes beyond activewear. I genuinely believe every child should have the chance to find something they love doing. Sport can give children so much — confidence, friendships, a sense of belonging, an escape when they need one, and those brilliant moments where they realise they’re capable of more than they thought. But I also know that getting those opportunities isn’t a given. Sports clubs, lessons, kit, equipment and travel all cos

There’s something about buying her first sports bra that makes you think… hang on, when did we get here? Because we're definitely not in any rush for our girls to grow up!! But unfortunately, nobody seems to have told their bodies that. And when boobs start arriving, sport can suddenly feel a little different. Running, jumping, dancing, gymnastics, football- all the things she's always done without a second thought, can come with movement that wasn't there before, sensitive s

At hy., we're building girls activewear a little differently. Instead of guessing what girls want, we're asking the people who know best, the girls themselves and the mums/carers who support them every day. Sometimes they come from the school run. From dance class. From gymnastics. From football training. From a conversation between a mum and her daughter on the way home. That's exactly why we'd love your help. We're building hy. for girls aged 8–14, but we don't want to gues

This is a moment we've been waiting to share... After months of designing, sampling, refining and making even the smallest adjustments, we're so excited to say that every item in the hy. Launch Collection has now been finalised. From the very beginning, we promised ourselves we wouldn't rush. Every fabric, every colour, every fit and every detail has been carefully considered to make sure we're creating activewear that girls genuinely love to wear. That meant testing material

Starting a brand from scratch is exciting, terrifying and incredibly personal. Long before the first collection ships, there are months of designing, sampling, testing, tweaking and making sure every detail is right. It's a journey built on belief – belief in an idea, belief in a mission and belief that what you're creating will make a difference. For hy., that mission has always been simple: to create activewear that helps girls aged 8–14 feel comfortable, confident and exci

A Sports Day observation became a powerful reminder of why hy. was created. As girls grow and their bodies change, confidence can sometimes disappear. Discover why comfort, support and thoughtfully designed activewear can help girls stay active, confident and connected to the sports they love.

Changing bodies, social pressures, and worries about appearance began to affect how they felt about being active. Too many girls stop participating in the sports and activities they love during these years. I asked myself: why isn’t there a brand created just for girls in this in-between stage of life? Look
