Wichy HASSAN

Chairman, Sixty Group

Wichy Hassan was born in 1955 in Tripoli, Libya. As a result of insurrections in
his hometown, he moved at age 11 to Rome with his parents and three
brothers. During the 70’s he attended college in Milan and developed a passion
for the arts. After receiving his diploma in languages, he began painting and
started working as a sales person in various shops in Rome to earn a living,
eventually becoming the manager. It was then he decided to open a small
store where people could buy trendy brands that were dif.cult to .nd
anywhere else. The boutique was a success and in 1983 he decided to open a
bigger store called “Energie,” a place for the art and culture of the early 80’s,
where several artists worked with Hassan to create exhibitions and special
store front windows. Unhappy with the clothing selections available he
decided to create his own small denim collection, inspired by Mexican and
ethnic fabrics.
When Wichy .rst met Renato Rossi, a former engineer and entrepreneur, a
partnership was formed. Renato soon had the opportunity to see Wichy’s .rst
sketches and encouraged him to further develop his collection. With the
marriage of Wichy’s creative spirit and Renato’s business savvy, Sixty was
brought to life and experienced immediate success. Energie was born in 1989
and became the .rst of many labels under the Sixty Group.
The partnership between Hassan and Rossi proved to be successful in the
years to come. Soon after Energie was introduced, Miss Sixty was born
followed by several additional brands including Sixty, Murphy&Nye, Killah,
RefrigiWear, Ayor, Dake 9, Decauville, Richlu, K-Blost and Waxy, all of which are
under the Sixty Group umbrella. Today, Sixty is a thriving fashion group that
continues its growth and brand
development through licensing projects and a global distribution network. The most
recent additions are the Miss Sixty Eyewear by Marcolin, Miss Sixty fragrance created
and distributed by Coty-Lancaster, Bags by Coccinelle, Jewelry by Morellato, and Energie bags by Principe.
