I absolutely love Cortazar's designs! His clothes are sexy without being slutty and are simply gorgeous! I'd take a trip to Miami just to go to his boutique! Good for him.

Oh great, just what women the world over need — one more fagalicious style maven creating clothes to be worn by 12 year old boys — or at least women with the body of a 12 year old boy…..yawn. Will NO-ONE step up and design for actual WOMEN?

His designs are soooooo gaudy. He has no taste at all. He is like Roberto Cavalli….they make girls look like skanks. Ungaro is only using him as a marketing sham…."woooo…look at the 23 year old desginer"….he sucks. Plain and simple.
