From The Sixes

Hey! I'm Franci, the founder and CEO of The Sixes, and I’m thrilled that you’re here.

I created The Sixes for one reason — to give tall women like myself #fashionfreedom. By the time I was in 4th grade I was already 5-foot-10. As someone who’s struggled finding clothes that fit for most of my life, I wanted to dedicate this brand to those of us who are 5’7” and up, who love fashion, and who’ve been excluded from major style moments because of their height.

My path to fashion wasn’t a straight one, but I’ve finally arrived at my dream of providing chic, quality womenswear to the deeply underserved market of tall women’s clothing.

I started my career as a professional volleyball player in Europe and later pivoted to Wall Street. But during my five years at Goldman Sachs, I couldn't shake my lifelong goal of incorporating fashion into my work. Having grown up in Brooklyn, N.Y., I was obsessed with how the dynamic women of my city used personal style as a form of self-expression and pride.

I decided to enroll at Parsons School of Design, pursuing an associate’s degree in design at night, while managing a demanding corporate career during the day. Eager to marry the worlds of business and fashion, I went on to obtain an MBA from Harvard Business School. After meeting dozens of other aspiring entrepreneurs, I took a leap of faith and launched The Sixes.

My greatest advantage in building this business is that I AM YOU. I know the disappointment of finding a piece I love, only to have it fit poorly on my frame because I’m not the size of the average American woman. The Sixes is a collection designed with you in mind. Where other brands fall short, I’ve got you covered!
