Wichy Hassan, the co-founder and creative director of Milan-based label Miss Sixty, died today of cancer. He was 56 years old. Just hours before his death, it was announced that the label was entering into a new production and distribution partnership with Chinese manufacturer Trendiano Co., so it would appear that its future is sound.
