Italian Hippy Chic

Miss Sixty S/S 09 at NY Fashion Week

Thank you Miss Sixty for not following the gloom and doom path during the Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week.

Bright colors are the polar opposite of the conservative styles that seem to be on many of the catwalks.

I love Miss Sixty, and after looking at this gallery, you might too. The Spring/Summer 2009 collection is definitely street inspired.

The Italian designer, Wichy Hassan, isn't afraid to swim against the current.
