For his Autumn Winter 2019 collection, Cortazar has different types of women in mind and delivers a dynamic study of three muses. Considering a Breakfast at Tiffany’s influence for sharp and simple lines with graceful silhouettes, he took Holly Golightly for a spin in the Caribbean. This brought added flourish, a bit more skin and lots more colour, mostly solids, yellows and pinks, and also a crazy print with religious motifs and a wild cat.

“It is a very personal vision; one that empowers women by making them feel beautiful. I don’t just appeal to one kind of girl,” he says. That point is driven home with a diverse, emphatic collection, toggling between sensual elegance and a funky cool.

Cortazar is introducing a new resort collection with more accessible price positioning to broaden the label’s reach to a younger audience.
