esteban cortozar
esteban cortozar was born in Bogota, raised in Miami and at 18 years old, was the youngest designer to ever show at New York Fashion Week's tents. If everything before the second comma sounds like a good handful of people you know, you aren't alone. About that last part, Cortozar's accolades get even nicer.
Cortozar is the only Miamian to helm a Parisian fashion house (Ungaro) until a collaboration with Lindsay Lohan was proposed and he was like
aw hell no
and took off. Now, he's back and designing under his own name again. Still under 30 years old, we don't think Cortozar has yet peaked.
