Mission Statement

Concept

Threads

We are dedicated to exploring and reinterpreting the idea of new luxury in the current economic climate, where cost of living crisis is causing us to rethink our necessities and what luxury means to us.

The thread is a central concept for our brand, symbolizing the connection between different trends, whether they be macrotrends or microtrends. Threads intertwine and interconnect, signifying the way in which trends can intersect and influence one another. The thread also represents the ability of trends to evolve and change over time, much like how threads can be tensioned, released, entangled, and disentangled. Additionally, threads are crucial in the fashion industry, as they form the backbone of fabrics and garments.

At Hilu, our values of connection, innovation, creativity, individuality, and sustainability are at the core of everything we do. We are committed to building meaningful connections with our clients, partners, and the wider community. Our innovative approach allows us to stay ahead of the curve and anticipate emerging trends, while our focus on individuality ensures that our work is tailored to our clients' unique needs and goals.

Our vision is to continue to be at the forefront of visual research and trend forecasting, pushing boundaries and creating new possibilities for the creative industries. We are excited to collaborate with like-minded partners who share our values and passion for innovation and sustainability, and we look forward to building a better world together.
