Hussy electrifies you this summer

The Veronicas are devotees, Jennifer Hawkins has dropped in for a visit, and Sophie Monk has hit the red carpet in style after a visit to this Sydney fashion icon. So who is it that keeps these fashion forward celebs clad in such stylish threads? That would be Marie Hatzis, founder and owner of Hussy.

Enter the Electric Boudoir.

This summer at Hussy, the dress rules. The collection is bursting with hot colours, stunning prints, and chic designs. The feel is simultaneously girlie and sexy. Gorgeous dresses, carefully detailed tops, flirty necklines, in striking emeralds and melons, dusty pinks, sexy scarlet and tangerine. The summery styles will urge you to hit the beach in style, and then gather your closest girlfriends to later hit the nearest dancefloor and party till dawn.

What's hot in the collection this season?

The Hussy collection highlight is definitely the stardust jumpsuit. Guaranteed to make you feel like a party princess all summer long.

More must-haves include the emerald mesh leaf top and the twiggy frill shorts to get you through a hot summer day in cool and comfortable style. Wear it to a leisurely brunch with your friends, then head out to Saturday night cocktails beachside with that cute friend of your mates.

"Just who are you calling a Hussy?"

Hailing from a fashion related background with a highly astute seamstress as her mother, Marie Hatzis has grown the Hussy label from a small, one-woman operation into a highly successful international commodity. The Hussy label is a distinguished and highly recognisable brand with eclectic and unique prints, signature tailoring and a forward-thinking style.

Where can I get my hands on this gorgeous gear?

This month Hussy open their first Melbourne store in the GPO. In Sydney visit the the flagship store in Darlinghurst, or if you are in the city, head to the the prestigious Strand Arcade. You'll also find Hussy in David Jones, and in over 100 boutiques nationally.

What's next?

In June 2006 Marie released the latest addition to the Hussy Empire - a brand new, high-end luxury label entitled Madame Marie which caters to the more exclusive, top-end market.
