Reality creates dreams, and dreams become reality. Who would have thought, the words ‘Get Your Own Fucking Lighter’ inscribed onto a lighter, and a simple script over a floral-printed tee would turn into a household name and become an instantly-recognisable global brand.
HYPE. started off with a small office space in Leicester, rapidly taking over the whole building. Employees would grab a skateboard to get from unit to unit, dodging security, and taking photoshoots on the roof.
With the use of Social platforms, HYPE. made their mark in the fashion world. With global superstars such as Jay-Z, Cara Delevigne and Tom Hardy representing the brand.

Currently, HYPE. have two offices, one in the heart of Shoreditch, London, and the headquarters residing in a-then-abandoned warehouse. Transformed with the Trotters Independent Trading Co three-wheeler, The Hype and Hounds pub, a games area with Time Crisis 2 and interior and exterior graffiti.
The first batch of stock sold out within a matter of hours after winning a t-shirt printing competition on Facebook. The magic just keeps on happening, and HYPE. can now be found in over 175 UK stockists and 27 territories worldwide.

events

Since HYPE. began, it has always been important for us to have a personal connection with our customers and maintain the brand as a lifestyle. One of the key ways for us to meet our customers is through the large number of events we hold and sponsor each year all over the globe. This includes huge launch parties for collaborations such as

The Simpsons, Barbie and Pokemon as well as for ASOS, Topman and many more. Music is also a big part of what HYPE. stands for, leading us to sponsor festivals and music events from Rise Festival on the French Alps to a boat for Shorebeach Festival. And that’s just scratching the surface

Tradeshows

We’re proud of everything we do at HYPE. and trade shows are essential for us to showcase our products to new stockists and media outlets. Since we began, HYPE. has been seen at trade shows all over the world and gives us the opportunity to talk about what we stand for and the

products we make. These events have allowed us to create strong partnerships and create some of our strongest collaboration work. We’ve previously enjoyed showcasing the brand at places such as Miami, New York, Stockholm, Germany, Italy and California.

Aside from our iconic trademark prints, we are also known for our global collaboration collections. Artist and Illustrator Luke Dixon was our first ever collaboration, entwining it with our launch, the

Hypex Disney

We’ve designed a throwback collection, with reference to 90s sports silhouettes teamed with a primary red, blue and yellow colour palette. Enchanting a character-covered collection of sweats, t-shirts, tape sets and mickey-ears-style accessories, think fairytale meets the streets. We’ve used colour blocking, chenille patches, sports ribbing, mesh and playful pockets.

Donald Duck’s got himself in some tricky situations. Wanna know about the shoot? .. We created the ultimate American dream, capturing the meaning of “if you can dream it, you can do it” – Walt Disney. The moment in your teenage years where boundaries weren’t set and your head was above the clouds.

Hypex star wars

Bringing the force to fashion, with a new range of collaborative apparel, we mixed our street wear codes with fantastical elements from George Lucas’s iconic frachise. We kept the collection monohrome tones to stay true to the light and dark sides portrayed in the film series. Introducing beaming tech fabrics that replicate the flash of a lightsaber’s glow in true Jedi style, to a teddy fabric hoodie that

mimic’s Chewbacca’s mane. The inspiration behind the collection came from the original films, we referenced cloths from the film, for example the bomber. This capsule collection is different to others as we went for more subtle prints on the linings instead of our normal all-over print, we achieved a collection that wouldn’t look out of place on a Star Wars set.

Hypex jurassic park

Let’s create some nostalgia and take it back to 1993, in Isla Nublar, When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth and Life uh… Finds a way. Inspired by the authentic Jurassic Park duvet set, we have teamed up with Jurassic Park to create a timeless capsule collection with nods to 90s retro shapes and finishes. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jurassic Park, in true

HYPE. style, we have touched base on our roots by including loud and lairy linings, rips and distressing, embroidery and velcro patches. Featuring a Jurassic World dinosaur skin texture, sporting rib knits and the instantly recognisible T-rex skeleton logo, this collection is inspired by one of the most popular and successful franchise‘s in cinema history
