Cortazar worked within the parameters of sexy, summer dressing but populated the lineup with unusual details and decorative effects.

After 12 years of showing in Paris, Esteban Cortazar returns to New York Fashion Week.

The designer based the collection as a collage of ideas, likening it to salsa.

For the 10th anniversary of his Paris debut, Esteban Cortazar took a trip down memory lane, combining house codes in quirky new silhouettes.

The designer described the collection as a superpersonal kaleidoscope of ideas.

The collection’s suave side came in a series of softly undulating dresses, worn over translucent mesh tops delicately hugging the body.

Looking to do something brave and bold, Esteban Cortazar filled his runway with high-energy clubbers wearing edgy looks.

The leather fringe laced tightly up the back of a tunic like a spine, then fell free at the tailbone, cascading into a curtain of fringe that lapped at the models’ heels.

For his debut on the Paris runway, wunderkind Esteban Cortazar did not disappoint.
