“It happened so spontaneously,” says the 28-year-old Paris-based designer Esteban Cortazar of the decision to reintroduce his eponymous womenswear brand this month. “Just as I was thinking of relaunching my line, Net-a-Porter came to me.” The reboot, which revives the ready-to-wear label Cortazar founded in 2002 at just eighteen before venturing off for a brief, creatively uncompromising stint at Emanuel Ungaro in 2007, will take the form of a small capsule collection available exclusively on the aforementioned luxury e-commerce site. It’s an unconventional, hyper-contemporary re-entrance into the fashion world, one that forgoes the time-honored platform of the splashy, all-in runway presentation in favor of a more immediate, small-scale, and consumer-oriented introduction.
