Cortana is the fashion company of designer Rosa Esteva.
Rosa was born and raised in a small town on the island of Majorca, where from a young age she developed a strong bond with art and nature. At the age of 18 she moved to Barcelona where she studied fine art and fashion design.
Shortly after completing her studies she started to design her own collections and in 2001 she founded Cortana and opened her first shop in Palma, Majorca.
Since then she has opened a further three shops in Spain: two in Barcelona and one in Madrid. Her stores have been awarded the Top10 prize for best showcase by the Barcelona town hall on three separate occasions.
She has also presented catwalk parades a number of times in the Pasarela Gaudí -- now known as Barcelona Fashion Week.
Her collections are characterised by the exquisite elegance of her designs, the craftsmanship of her finished pieces and the supreme quality of the fabrics she uses.
As well as her own collections, Rosa Esteva has worked with others in the fields of dance, theatre and opera, designing wardrobes that have been nominated for national prizes. She has also designed the staff uniforms of hotels such as the Ibiza Gran Hotel and Barcelona's Hotel ARTS.
