PSG and Esteban Cortázar team up to launch "Paris Latino" capsule

2023-05-10

Paris Saint-Germain further asserts its dominance within the fashion world with an exquisite collection designed by Esteban Cortázar.

Blending Cortázar's Colombian heritage with Parisian elegance, the collection presents a vibrant range that evokes the essence of a holiday on the picturesque French Riviera. Drawing inspiration from the tropical flora and fauna found in Latin America, this collection not only pays homage to Latin culture but also highlights the club's deep connection to the region.

Collaborating with esteemed Latin American artists and design studios like Studio el Guerrero, Popular de Lujo, Sequence, Cheboards, and Rebond, the designer integrates regional artisanal techniques and embroidery into their garments. They have been dedicated to investigating this visual popular culture working closely with local artists for 15 years. With them, they have done exhibitions, workshops, talks, and numerous projects worldwide. They believe in showcasing popular and street artists with respect, appreciation, and grace by giving visibility to these communities that haven’t had enough representation in Latin America.

A subtle revamp of the PSG badge on sweatshirts, hoodies, joggers, and tees features intricate embroidery showcasing a striking red parrot, a slithering snake, and vibrant flowers. Taking the motifs further, a printed co-ord ensemble includes a flaming football and the words 'Paris' and 'Mágico' adorning the pieces, filling the empty spaces with charm.

Reflecting on the collection, Cortázar shared his excitement, stating, "After several years in the making, I am thrilled to finally unveil my collaboration with my friends at PSG. It is an honour to have been invited to celebrate my roots and Latin heritage in such an unexpected way, and to create a collection that I proudly call Paris Latino."

The PSG x Esteban Cortázar collection is now available for purchase on the PSG online store.
