Miami Beach, FL – February 6, 2018 – Referred to by Vogue as “the most uninhibited designer showing in Paris,” Esteban Cortazar is celebrated for his signature style, which he confidently articulates through slick, sculptural lines tempered by ease, grace, and flow. The Colombian-born, Miami-raised fashion designer joined Faena Rose members for a conversation moderated by Kelly Talamas, Creative Director of Vogue Mexico & Latin America, on his myriad influences and storied career—beginning at just 13-years-old under the mentorship of Todd Oldham amidst the supermodels & photographers of South Beach in the ‘90s, skyrocketing at the age of 18 when he became the youngest fashion designer to ever show during New York Fashion Week, moving to Paris in 2007 to helm the House of Emanuel Ungaro, and coming full circle in 2012 with the relaunch of his eponymous brand. The evening ended with a special dinner hosted at La Cava, Faena Hotel’s private dining room. Faena Rose is an exclusive, art and culture-based private members club at the Faena District Miami Beach, which brings together its dynamic community of likeminded individuals through a robust, year-round calendar of the most engaging and transformative cultural experiences.
