I had the pleasure of interviewing the designer of 1246, Danni Rokmor. I was first introduced to Danni via LinkedIn where I noticed her brand of t-shirts, hats, and swimsuits. I started taking notice of 1246 on other social media outlets drawing attention to the plus size community. I observed other plus size ladies purchasing her brand. I was curious about 1246 so I had to take a look at her website. What is 1246? 1246 is a clothing line that specializes in the couture fashion industry that will bring a more sexy, classy, and better style of clothing to our plus size ladies. I also learned that Danni lost her mother in 2009 and named her company after her mother’s birthday, December 1946. I was moved by what I read because I started my company on my mother’s birthday. Here is Danni’s interview.
