A LA MODE reports that Esteban Cortazar has been selected by French fashion house Emanuel Ungaro as its new chief fashion designer for its womenswear collection.


Cortazar was born on the 17th of May in 1984 in Bogotá, Colombia. The only child of jazz singer Dominique Vaughan and artist Valentino Cortazar, Esteban was exposed to a world of art as a very young child. In 1995, he moved to Miami Beach and at the young age of 12 he was already styling the windows of shops along Ocean Drive.


Cortazar’s designs have been featured in W and British Vogue. Celebrities wearing his designs include Paris Hilton, Beyonce Knowles, Kim Cattrall, Kelly Preston, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Ashanti, and Eva Longoria. Clothes by the fashion designer have also been used in the popular prime time TV show, Sex and the City.
