Hello! We are Joseph and Eileen Zhao, the founders of Joystream gymnastics apparel.
For more than 20 years, we have been designing and producing clothing and accessories for fashion brands in Shanghai, one of the most fashionable cities in Asia. Our designs are often exhibited at the Milan Fashion Show and the New York Fashion Show along with popular fashion brands MAXMARA, MOSCHINO, ZARA, and MANGO, etc.
Our inspiration to create Joystream began with a good friend of our daughter – a talented gymnast who struggled to find gymnastics apparel that was both durable and stylish. As a gift, we designed and customized several pieces for her, and she loved it! When she wore our designs in training and competitions, she received a lot of praise and gained greater joy and confidence. This experience inspired us to invest in the design and innovation of gymnastics clothing.
In 2023, we moved to the United States and to Dallas, Texas. This is a place and people we love very much, with a thriving gymnastics culture and many talented and passionate athletes. This motivated us to establish Joystream, a brand dedicated to producing high-quality, fashionable gymnastics apparel.
We carefully select durable, high-stretch, eco-friendly fabrics, and add modern, stylish touches such as embroidery, prints, sparkly stones and sequins. Our goal is to make gymnastics clothing that is both practical and chic.
We were transformed in 2012 when we accepted Jesus as the Lord of our lives. This brought true joy and purpose to our family, and it continues to shape how we live, work, and serve. Through Joystream, we hope to bring that same joy and sense of purpose to our customers, friends, and community.
