Donde Esteban's Latest Campaign Celebrates the Endless Summer
While temperatures drop and pumpkin-spiced lattes take over café menus, somewhere in the world, summer never ends. Brazil, perhaps? Though residents there enjoy sunshine year-round, the country's warm skies and vibrant energy remain a constant source of inspiration—now captured in the latest campaign from Esteban Cortazar's new venture, Donde Esteban.
Cortazar, a Miami-born, Colombian-American designer, has lived several fashion lives, making his mark dressing celebrities like Beyoncé, Kylie Minogue, and Rihanna. Now, he is turning his focus to resortwear. His latest endeavor, Donde Esteban, is a love letter to those who live in an eternal summer, offering collections that embody sun-soaked romance and carefree days.
The brand's latest campaign transports viewers directly to Rio de Janeiro. Shot in Brazil's iconic city, the collection draws from its undeniable energy and natural beauty. To bring this vision to life, Cortazar partnered with São Paulo-based photographer and creative director Ángel Castellanos, creating a short film that captures Rio's magic through the eyes of its locals.
"Working with Angel has been a dream," Cortazar shared in a press release. "We have a creative chemistry that brought our vision to life. This campaign is a story of love, of family and of the sultry, joyful energy that defines Rio."
The collection itself features flowing fabrics in a warm, sun-kissed color palette. Pieces range from swimwear and shorts to breezy summer shirts, dresses, skirts, and accessories. With Donde Esteban, Cortazar ensures that wherever you are—and whatever the season—your endless summer wardrobe is sorted.
