Malibu is a beach city in Los Angeles County, California, famous for its surf, celebrity residents and Pacific Coast Highway mansions. It is Francesca Aiello's hometown and the birthplace of her brand, Frankies Bikinis, which opened its first permanent store there. Malibu also bookends her romance with Blake Griffin: the couple was first photographed kissing on a Malibu beach in 2018, days after being spotted leaving the city's Nobu restaurant together.
Its beaches, surf breaks and low-key luxury have made it a magnet for athletes and designers alike for decades.
