Esteban Cortázar (born May 17, 1984) is a Colombian-American fashion designer.

He grew up in Miami, Florida, and is one of the youngest designers to ever appear at New York Fashion Week.

Early life

Cortázar was born in Bogotá, Colombia, to Colombian painter Valentino Cortázar and former British jazz singer Dominique Vaughan. His grandfather's clothes and mother's stage outfits inspired his early fashion vocabulary. His childhood straddled continents, lifestyles, and subcultures, which he cites as influences. The 1970s Ibiza scene (where his parents were born) and Parisian disciplines are among the other influences.

Cortázar said that his art reflects his Colombian roots. His designs incorporate Colombian symbols and emblemography, such as the country's flag and emblems. He often speaks about Colombia and its international communities, such as the one in Miami, Florida. Esteban demonstrated his fashion sketches to Todd Oldham, his mentor, at age 13. While living in a building above News Café in Miami, a famous restaurant and bar where Esteban watched Miami's bohemian revival.

Esteban's childhood playground in South Beach was during the 1990s. It was an evolving fashion scene, pioneered by designers Gianni Versace and Todd Oldham. The city's Latin cultural scene and kitsch trans-culture provided the basis for iconic images, including those by Bruce Weber, Peter Lindberg, and Herb Ritz. As Cortázar's mind began to see fashion as self-expression, his collective vision of empowered, nonchalant supermodels remained in Cortázar's mind.

Esteban's early sketches at Bloomingdale caught the eye of Kal Ruttenstein, Bloomingdale's late fashion director. He later bought Esteban's first collection. Esteban became a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2006, which followed suit.

Cortázar graduated from Miami's Design and Architecture Senior High School, where he concentrated on fashion design. He worked with Edit Meurrens as his business partner from 2004 to 2008 and was instrumental in the creation of Bryant Park, which was open to the public. Cortazar was the youngest designer to attend NY fashion week, opening many doors and giving Cortazar more prominence in the fashion industry at that time. This aided him in his move and transfer to Paris.

Career

Correspondents Correl Ungaro went to Paris in 2007 to govern the House of Emanuel Ungaro. He became acquainted with one of Europe's fashion icons. He has been in Paris ever since.

Natalie Massanet met Esteban in 2012 to produce a series of capsule collections for Net-a-Porter. This process culminated in the relaunch of his eponymous brand. His work has received international recognition and a dedicated following for his personal interpretations of femininity, modernity, and luxury.

Cortázar introduced a scheme in 2014 to lessen the transition from runway to store without sacrificing craftsmanship. His goal was to obtain orders and begin production before his runway shows the difference. The strategy began a discussion that is reshaping the industry.

Cortázar's style received a cult following after exhibiting at the Paris Fashion Week. Slick, sculptural lines created with ease, grace, and flow characterize the style. His collections often include two concepts: a body is often restricted and a body is free. Women are confident, bold and austere thanks to poet shirting, circle hems, diced leather, and equestrian hardware. "The most uninhibited designer showing in Paris," Vogue has described him.

Correspondence's collections are available in more than 30 stores around the world, including Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Lane Crawford, Browns, The Webster, Net-a-Porter, and Matches.
