Miss Sixty/Energie/Killah founder Wicky Hassan has perished at the age of 56.
Born in Tripoli, Hassan arrived to the open arms of Rome with his family in the late 1960s. Thousands of Libyan Jews were forced out of the country during the Six Day War, Hassan and family were among those who fled.
Hassan was from a family of drapers.
Edited for clarity:
[Hassan started] selling clothes at flea markets, Romans, and finally managed to open the first store. We owe the first imports of which have become cult brands like Timberland, Levi's and All Star to him. His insights are revealed and success grows right up to the opening of a store in the prestigious Via del Corso.
His first line of clothing, Energie, and in 1988, following 3 years after Miss Sixty: the first born and will be low-waisted trousers suffered a resounding success.
Sixty soon became a group that added over the years Killah and Murphy & Nye Refrigewear.
