DANIEL FRANCO

The truth of all matters...

About Me

I am many things to many people. To myself, I am dedicated to personal evolution, artisitc growth, and sensitivity in all aspects of my life. I believe in the sublime, in amazement, in beauty and I find these elements in many places, sometimes forgotten places. I care about fashion, but not as a dominating force in one's life but as a means to enrich our personality and to experiment with art in a tangible way. www.danielfranco.comI| Df spring 07 runway show NYC

My Interests

I adore many things, many places and am always looking for the under-explored. I enjoy creating what once was in my imagination into an object, a jacket, a dress, a drawing, a relationship. I'm an Abstractionist fashion designer with a fatal fetish for sleek tailoring and attentive living.
