Every season has its “it” color and the same goes for the designer swimwear industry. For 2012, it’s all about orange. Delicious fruit-inspired hues such as cantaloupe, mango, papaya and peach are all huge this season, perfect for all complexions. In addition, designer swimwear styles done in orange-infused cayennes and spice oranges are popping up everywhere.
