Wow, it has been a long time since I posted. But I think since it has been a great year for h. Naoto brands in the US, that's why I thought I'd do a small bit on Sixh, which is being promoted in the US and internationally in 2011.Sixh's clothes range from the dramatic to casual, a difference easily seen in the aesthetics of the two head designers of the line. Usually dark, but full of detail, Sixh creates interest with hardware, layering, iconic screenprints, and experiments in construction.

Models came out to upbeat music and a backdrop of hundreds of Mint Neko designs. The spirit of the line was not far from that of Hangry and Angry, the manga-centric line of h.Naoto, though the Mint Neko line has a distinct casual edge that only Mint can bring to his designs.

More info can be found at the link below; look for updates on Sixh and the rest of h.Naoto's brands for the rest of the 2011 con season. And if you live in San Francisco, you're in luck! They're opening a store in October. I'm sure there will be more to come!:
