Esteban Cortázar’s instinctive form and freedom is in some senses a love song to his native Colombia whose colour, beauty and potency act as a constant rhythm. A cacophony of other influences from the free-spirited Ibiza of the seventies where his parents were married, to the disciplinary couture of Paris, and seminally his first prodigal steps into fashion at the tender age of 13 in Miami, meld into the irreverent soundtrack of his life.

The house’s body of work reads as he does – a maven of progressive, effortless, wild elegance. He has been referred to by Vogue as “the most uninhibited designer showing in Paris.”
