Esteban Cortazar Gives Good Holiday Advice, Gets A Haircut

Esteban Cortazar, who we’ve done told you ’bout, is currently the creative director for Emanuel Ungaro. Emanuel Ungaro himself recently threw a party for the still 24-year-old (How awesome is this year for him?) at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Cortazar became creative director in December 2007 and is the third creative director to oversee the line since Ungaro retired in 2003.

While at the party, Cortazar was kind enough to offer a few holiday tips for staying awesome during the cold, depressing, boozy winter season.

Says the youngster about holiday fashion DO’s and DON’Ts:

“DO wear rich colors–they are, of course, beautiful for a holiday party. And DO be a bit irreverent. Everyone expects you to be dressy, so if you wear a fancy dress, then wear your hair a little messy!”

His advice for women wearing heels is to: “Make sure you always find a place to sit and take breaks!” We’re sort of wondering why he only speaks in exclamation marks! It’s so conspicuous! He also advises the ladies not to take too long getting made up because “the less time you take to get ready, the better I think you’ll look!” Ah, those exclamation marks!

At least he’s cute.
