Born in Bogotá, Colombia, and raised in the vibrant 1990s South Beach scene, Esteban Cortázar established his brand in the early 2000s, becoming one of the youngest designers to ever present at New York Fashion Week in 2002. The son of a painter and a jazz singer, Cortázar’s creative upbringing in a multicultural environment deeply informs his work, which blends Latin sensuality with sophisticated French technique. His designs are celebrated for their fluid movement, masterful draping, and a modern femininity that feels both bold and effortless. The brand gained significant momentum after Cortázar’s tenure as creative director for Emanuel Ungaro in Paris from 2007 to 2009, which honed his understanding of European craftsmanship.
