Anthony Franco is a self-taught designer born and bred in Los Angeles with a unique flair for fashion. For his Spring/Summer 2012 collection, debuted at Los Angeles Fashion Week, Franco drew from the inspiration he got seeing the stunning sunsets of Zihuatanejo, Mexico.

Often utilizing a compact color palette in his designs, Franco's vision of Spring/Summer 2012 is a bright array of sunset tones, with vibrant shades of orange, yellow and pink showcasing his understanding of a stunning getaway. To help enrich the colors with different fabrics, Franco used knit, silk and wool cashmere combined with bamboo, which would all be perfect pieces to take on a luxurious beach vacation once the weather turns warm again.
