		<title>Sympathy For The Unusual</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People know when they are (and look) different from the masses.
It&#8217;s like a magnetism which leads them to be united as a niche, and to reject the ordinary as if it were an electric shock.
A bit proud, a bit snobbish. A lot unusual.
Sympathy For The Unusual is an Italy based brand formed in april 2009.
