FARFETCH Limited (NYSE: FTCH), a global destination for modern luxury, today announces the sixth launch of FARFETCH BEAT, the new concept retail series that introduces exclusive product experiences to global audiences.
BEAT 006 is an exclusive collection that celebrates Esteban Cortázar's two decades in the fashion industry with the re-release of some of the most iconic pieces from the designer's debut SS02 runway. The looks were first presented by the Colombian designer when he was just 17 years old at NYFW in 2002, when he was still a beginner in the fashion world.

The collection is inspired by the Miami nightlife and club scene of the 1990s and 2000s, and the pieces are synonymous with celebrities, TV shows and the pop culture of the era. Iconic designs include:
● The Heartbreaker strapless shirred silk dress that FARFETCH's #YourChoiceYourFarfech campaign star Kim Cattrall wore in a top version in Sex and The City, season six episode "The Post-It Always Sticks Twice"
● The open-back Rock With You silk chiffon mini dress that singer Ashanti wore for the Chapter II album cover
● The turquoise open-back silk Liquid maxi dress Paris Hilton wore to the 2004 MTV Music Awards
The inspiration behind Cortázar's debut collection is Miami, where the designer grew up, and represents the city's sunny weather, bright colors, Latin vibe and positive vibe. The collection is made up of 14 pieces (11 looks) that synthesize the spirit of the 2000s, with their fluid and daring silhouettes.
About the partnership, Cortázar, comments: “I am very excited to celebrate 20 years in fashion, bringing back looks from my first show in New York in 2002. It feels like a moment of completion of a cycle, returning to my roots, where it all began , to celebrate this milestone moment in my career, in partnership with FARFETCH, who have been part of my support system for many years. There's a nostalgic '00s vibe to fashion right now, and it seemed like the perfect time to create this collection.”

It's an honor to celebrate Esteban's landmark birthday in the fashion world by bringing some of his most beloved pieces to a new generation through FARFETCH BEAT."
