Esteban Cortázar (Bogotá, 1984) is a child. A precocious, intuitive and artistic child. A child who wakes up surrounded by the paintings of his father, the artist Valentino Cortázar, with the sea breeze, the palm trees dancing with the seagulls and the buzz of people reaching the beach. From her window at the Avalon Hotel in South Beach, Miami, watch as 90s supermodels, amazing drag-queens or quirky retirees share historic moments and mingle with Latin culture, 90s fashion boom and day eternal than the equally eternal Florida summer. Today Esteban is no longer a child but a famous stylist whose goal is to give
trendy a touch of good humor, latin charisma and jaunty elegance suitable for everyone. He is the youngest designer to have walked the runway during NYFW – at just 17 years old -, he was the creative director of Emanuel Ungaro’s women’s collections and is the undisputed ambassador of the Resort and endless summer collections.
From this passion for diversity, color, joy and art, an inevitable relationship of affection arises between Esteban and Desigual, which gives rise to a unique collaboration. We work as a brand that gives support to different talents and we present together with the stylist a collection of seventeen garments to rediscover the joy of living.

Have you been dancing for so long?
Inspired by that precocious childhood that saw Esteban grow up surrounded by very different artists and characters, in this campaign we gather a casting that breathes that melting pot typical of South Beach but updated to our days. Here we then find the impressive actress Daniela Santiago, one of the undisputed stars of the successful Spanish series ‘Veneno’; Yendri, the singer of Dominican origin, raised in Italy and winner of one of the most successful television programs in the country; the famous Barcelona model and entrepreneur Biel Juste; the colorful fashion icon and Haitian stylist residing in Cologne, Michelle Elie; the famous Italian model Chiara Scelsi; Brazilian supermodel Jhona Burjak; the drag queen artist Alaska Nebraska; together with a cast made up of different ages, styles and origins to represent, through the eyes of a child, that nerve center that these small hotels were and a party that, we hope, will arrive very soon. The campaign aims to be a burst of energy and remind us that beautiful days of celebration and love are just around the corner.
All through the iconic song ‘Pasilda’ by Afro Medusa, a hit from the 2000s in which dance joins Latin sounds, leading us directly to a world of freedom and dance.
A story that represents diversity and fun, which shows us how the Esteban universe blends with the values ​​of the Desigual brand and which presents the collection that defines summer.

DOUBLE RECOGNITION.
“The artist Valentino Cortázar is my father and, together with my mother, my greatest inspiration. His love of him for colors, women, life and joie de vivre is the leitmotif of his work. I decided to work with him for this collection with a garment that highlights one of the most recurring motifs in all of his work: ‘El Beso’, which he painted in South Beach at that time. In addition, the collection pays homage to the iconic photographer Andy Sweet. Let’s create a patchwork with her images taken in South Beach in the 70s, before the turmoil and madness of the 90s, when the real pioneers of the area now retired from all over the world with their eccentric looks to enjoy the sun of Florida. In addition to images of the emblematic Leslie and Surfcomber hotels, eternal beach moments and art deco architecture. The idea of ​​combining these two motifs and thus creating a patchwork collection seemed to me to be perfect for representing the true frame of what Miami was at the time.

DIFFERENT, VERSATILE, UNISEX, EASY AND SUSTAINABLE.
Garments suitable for everyone. But everyone. To be worn at a party. Or underwater. Shirts that are dresses, jackets and that fit him, her and anyone who wants to wear them. Denim garments that will accompany us throughout the year. And others that represent summer, heat, good weather and good humor. Garments with easy models and designed to make any type of body feel at ease, garments whose strong point are colors and prints. Garments that tear a smile and love and respect the world, who are socially and environmentally committed, sustainable garments with eco-friendly fabrics such as Lenzing TM ecovero, Naia, BCI cotton, Tencel TM, Lyocell TM or organic cotton. Garments designed today, inspired by the past and designed to be worn ALWAYS.

THE SUN RISES AGAIN.
They say that the crazy twenties are about to arrive … So for this age of parties, love and colors that is approaching, we prepare ourselves properly and with great desire. According to Esteban: “The difficult times we are experiencing have shown us that our responsibility is to share positive energy. I feel comfortable collaborating and listening. The key is to put love in everything you do and be authentic, that’s why I wanted to do something personal for this first collection and reach the public beyond fashion ”.

This newest development in the lives of The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s stars has fans wondering how soon the next season can get here. 

On Monday, May 10, Porsha Williams took to Instagram to confirm she’s in a romantic relationship with Simon Guobadia. As fans of her Bravo show know, Simon and ex Falynn Guobadia appeared on the most recent season of RHOA, and the pair had publicly announced their parting of ways just last month after two years of marriage.

Porsha shared a cuddly photo of herself and Simon enjoying a day out on a boat. In the caption, the 39-year-old Dish Nation host acknowledged that the romance would likely come as a surprise to some, given the “optics” of herself and Falynn knowing each other. 

“Our relationship began a month ago—yes we are crazy in love,” Porsha wrote. “I know it’s fast but we are living life each day to its fullest. I choose happiness every morning and every night. Tuning out all negative energy and only focused on positive wishes. He makes me so happy and to me, that is what matters most.”

Thanks to the various partnerships undertaken (including Ferrovie dello Stato, Enel X, the Luiss University and CNA Federmoda and the patronage of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Ministry of Culture), from an idea of Ms. Valeria Mangani, former Vice President of ALTAROMA and IAW Delegate to UN institutions (FAO, IFAD, WFP) and President of Sustainable Fashion Innovation Society ( SFIS ) does not only deal with clothing brands but it creates a real society aimed at the sustainable progress of an entire country. In today’s consumerist and frenetic society, the culture of fast fashion has spread, making production not only unsustainable on an ecological level but also on an economic one, causing the almost disappearance of small and medium-sized Made in Italy companies.
SFIS wants to include in its network these small and medium artisan realities outside the world of Milan Camera Moda and the international context, forming them in the perspective of a 100% green future, guaranteeing them the possibility of innovating and knowing how to access sustainable raw materials such as nettle’s fiber and vegan skins.

This revolutionary hub takes shape once a year with the Phygital Sustainability Expo, the first event in the world dedicated to the ecological transition of the fashion system. In line with the policy of enhancing the territory, the Phygital Sustainability expo is inherent and every year it will be hosted in a different symbolic place of the Italian heritage, (on 5 July 2021 it will be in Rome while they are expected in the Royal Palace of Caserta in 2022)
Through the Phigital Sustainability Expo, SFIS wants to create an important platform in which stake-holders, SMEs, consumers, media, can come into contact, thus creating that digital hub which is instead active virtually all year round. The goal of the Sustainable fashion Innovation Society is not only to make the consumer aware of a sustainable purchase, but to act as an educational model for the new generations.

The Phygital Sustainable Expo is a platform strongly linked to the artisan territory, identity of the Italian system, our flagship and cultural as well as economic fabric, set up to support it in the transformation towards their sustainability, made necessary today, to be competitive with global challenges.
The Phygital Sustainable Expo will be a digital hub for the whole year, but on 5 July 2021 it will materialise for the second time in Rome, in a strongly identifying place, to bring together the creatives of fashion & design in a virtuous network for the Italian system, exclusively sustainable.

The next edition of the Phygital Sustainability Expo will be held on Monday 5 July 2021.
The Phygital Sustainability Expo is the first event in Italy entirely dedicated to the ecological transition of the fashion and design system through technological innovation. It is a traveling sustainability Expo for fashion and design; who will annually reside in a different museum location, a beacon of Italic culture, iconic beauty and high craftsmanship; mirror of that territory and region in which the museum will reside.

ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION:
The mission of the Sustainable Fashion Innovation Society is to help fashion companies in the transformation of their supply chain to Green (SDG 12 and 13), introducing one or more elements for the sustainable innovation of this segment.

CONSUMER AWARENESS:
Since all revolutions start from the bottom, the purpose of the platform is to raise awareness of the consumer, providing him with information and training tools about why between a simple T-shirt and a sustainable T-shirt, he should choose the latter. Admission to the event is free.

MUSEUM ROUTE:
The public will be accompanied on an immersive digital museum tour on the life cycle of a garment. Making the public aware of the importance of the circular economy, explaining the different processes that products undergo, sometimes harmful to the planet, is the mission of the Phygital Sustainability Expo, in line with the SDGs of the UN 2030 Agenda.

As reported by the World Economic Forum, the fashion industry is the most polluting sector in the world, after petrochemicals. The fashion industry is responsible for 10 percent of global gas (CO2) emissions each year and contributes even more to the waste of water resources reaching 20 percent of the total.

In this regard, the Sustainable Fashion Innovation Society already sits on the United Nations Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Change-UNFCCC Committee.
The Phigital Sustainability Expo is therefore the SFIS event, aimed precisely at creating an important platform in which stake-holders, SMEs, consumers, media, can make their connection, which on the one hand will promote the sustainability of SMEs addressed in this transformation. , on the other hand, greater consumer awareness.
In addition, the Expo will be itinerant and each year hosted in a different museum location, a beacon of Italic culture and high craftsmanship, a mirror of that territory and region where the museum resides. For 2022 we are expected at the Royal Palace of Caserta, for the relaunch of the spectacular and centuries-old Bourbon manufacture of San Leucio, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Today a new collaborator is introducing himself to Desigual, a Mediterranean brand inspired by different talents. The designer Esteban Cortázar (Bogotá, 1984), ambassador of summer and resort style, joins the firm with a sustainable Spring / Summer collection based on versatile, timeless and unisex items with 90s cuts and graphic prints and patchwork. A celebration of the joy of life, summer and color. “Cada día es para siempre (Everyday is forever)” he invites us to be reborn and to live.

“For my first collaboration with Desigual I wanted to create something truly personal, that’s why
I was inspired by my childhood spent in the “Glory Days” in South Beach, Miami, during the 90s. Around the News Café, I was able to witness the creative renaissance that characterized this part of Miami Beach at the time. A melting pot of Latin fashion, music, art and warmth with an eclectic mix of incredible people. From artists to eccentric retirees through the boom in gay culture, from drag queens, supermodels, iconic photographers, to the nightclub scene and incredible Latin culture. The collaboration celebrates the endless summer days,
kisses at sunset and the spirit of youth and diversity that marked a very iconic, spontaneous and liberating era seen through the eyes of a precocious child. A collection inspired by the past, designed today and to be remembered forever “.

The collection avails itself of the collaboration of the artist Valentino Cortázar, father of the designer, whose work “El Beso”, an expression of graphic love in pure-colored brushstrokes, created in Miami during that era, is the protagonist of a large part of the collection . In addition, Esteban played with a photographic patchwork of some images taken by the iconic Andy Sweet in the 70s in South Beach. Two contrasting styles that reinforce the freedom, spontaneity, color and warmth with which this collection was conceived.
Stay tuned! Because on May 20 the collection will go on sale and the campaign “Cada día es para siempre (Everyday is forever)” will be unveiled, with the participation of personalities from the world of cinema, art and fashion through which we will relive this era ( and the joy of living). Also, if you want your readers to access the exclusive presale of the collection starting May 14,

Two of Hollywood’s Golden Era Mansions: Paramour & Hearst Mansions – Photo & Video Permission  

The fabled Beverly House, the showplace of publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, is back on the market, and the Paramour Estate that the 1930’s tabloids named “The Most Beautiful Home in Hollywood” is now on the open market for the first time.  Both are featured this month at TopTenRealEstateDeals.com. Photos & video tours with agent permission available for media use at: http://bit.ly/toptenmedia.

“Historic Hearst Mansion Back On Market At Reduced Price”

Located in the heart of Beverly Hills, the fabled Beverly House, the showplace of publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, is back on the market at a reduced asking price of $89.75 million – down from $185 million in 2016. One of California’s most historic homes, Marion Davies, Hearst’s girlfriend, purchased the mansion in 1946 as a gift for Hearst. The couple moved there from the Hearst Castle, where they had been living in another historic California mansion, and stayed until William’s death in 1951.

Beverly House is most well known for its memorable movie scenes in The Godfather, where Hollywood movie producer Jack Woltz woke up to a bloody horse head in his bed, and the glamorous estate where Whitney Houston’s character lived in The Bodyguard. The mansion was also a favorite of the Kennedy family, where John and Jackie spent part of their honeymoon in 1953, and later became the West Coast presidential election headquarters for JFK’s 1960 presidential campaign. In 2018, Beyoncé filmed part of her groundbreaking visual album Black Is King on the grounds, and in 2019, Adel held her 31st birthday party there.

Designed in 1927 by Gordon Kaufmann, the architect who did the Hoover Dam, Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles Times building and the Santa Anita Racetrack, Hearst’s Beverly House is the quintessential emblem of Hollywood’s Golden Era. The estate is well known for its H-form architecture characterized by long colonnades, wide balconies, arched floor-to-ceiling windows and its spaciousness. Some of the spaces include a nearly 9-foot-tall Dennis Abbe mural that was commissioned by Hugh Hefner; a stunning two-story library with hand-carved paneling and a wraparound walkway; a formal living room with its 22-foot-high, hand-painted, arched ceiling; a state-of-the-art spa; a billiards room with herringbone parquet floors and an intricately designed ceiling and carved fireplace – both from the Hearst Castle in San Simeon. The gardens, designed by landscape architect Paul Thiene, are a focal point including cascading waterfalls to the pool. The main house and two guest houses sit on 3.5 acres.

The Beverly House listing agents are Anthony Marguleas of Amalfi Estates in Los Angeles, Gary Gold of Hilton & Hyland in Beverly Hills and Zizi Pak of Rodeo Realty in Beverly Hills. The property is listed by order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

“1930’s Tabloids: “The Most Beautiful Home in Hollywood!”

In the early 1900s, Southern California became the glamour capital of the world, where some of the world’s most famous movie stars, directors and producers tried to outdo each other with their ritzy mansions. There was the Louis B. Mayer Estate in Bel Air; a number of mansions designed by Wallace Neff for the biggest celebrities including Charlie Chaplain, Fredric March and Harpo Marx; and the most famous home of all: Pickfair for Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. But according to the tabloids of the era, the most beautiful home of them all was the Canfield-Moreno Estate, now known as Paramour Estate. It is now on the open market for the first time, priced at $39.995 million.

Heiress-and-socialite Daisy Canfield, with the Pan American Petroleum fortune in her back pocket, could have almost anything she wanted. And what she wanted most was the grandest home in Los Angeles. Daisy hired the most famous architect of the time to design and build a monument-mansion where she could overlook Hollywood from the highest ridge in the Los Angeles basin. It was the most opulent mansion of the era and like many of the old L.A. mansions, was full of celebrity connections and intrigue.

Daisy’s first marriage was to Jay M. Danziger, who was connected to the Mexican Petrol Oil Company. After their divorce, she married silent film star Antonio Moreno in 1923. Together they built their mansion overlooking Silver Lake; the home went by various names throughout the years from Crestmount, to the Danziger Mansion, to the Canfield-Moreno Mansion, and finally the Paramour Estate. In addition to their home, Daisy also used the property as a boarding school and academy that educated young-orphaned girls. But in 1933, only days after her abrupt separation from Moreno, Daisy’s life came to a tragic end, returning home from a party, when her chauffeur-driven car plunged off a 300-foot cliff along Mulholland Drive. The home continued to operate as a boarding school, while Moreno stayed in the home until 1948. In 1953, the home was deeded to the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception Order, who also used it as a school. In 1998, designer Dana Hollister purchased the home, renamed it Paramour, and funded a restoration from onsite film shoots, weddings and social events.

Perched on a bit over four acres, the four-story, walled, 22,000-square-foot home with 15 bedrooms and 15 baths is not anyone’s regular ho-hum mansion. Created by Robert D. Farquhar, the architect to the stars who also did the Owlwood Estate – once owned by both Tony Curtis and Cher, Paramour played host to lavish celebrity parties and was ultimately dubbed by the tabloids as “The Most Beautiful Home in Hollywood.” Features include ceiling beams painted to match the colors in the home’s fabrics, a bar front covered in zebra skin, a grand ballroom with 25-foot-high ceiling, gilded mirrors, bold colors, crystal chandeliers, a myriad of places to dine, marble-hand-tiled pool, sun room, lower-level staff quarters, and 360-degree views that stretch from the Pacific Ocean to the San Gabriel Mountains. There are four guest cottages, two guest suites, lush landscaping with rose gardens, and parking for 50 cars.

The Silver Lake neighborhood is on L.A.’s East Side near Sunset Boulevard, also home to celebrities Rachel McAdams, James Franco, Christina Ricci, Chris Pine and Pauly Shore.

The listing agent for the Paramour estate is Sally Forster Jones of Compass, Los Angeles.
