Cortana, founded by Mallorcan designer Rosa Esteva, epitomises sensitivity, sustainability and purity in fashion. Esteva, who studied art history and fashion design in Barcelona, opened her first store in Palma in 2001. We have always admired the brand’s aesthetic, which is characterised by elegant, straight silhouettes and exquisite materials, with pieces often resembling artworks. Signature pieces include luxurious silk dresses featuring Esteva’s own aquarelle prints, made from natural materials like silk, cotton and linen. The Cortana store in Palma, designed by Esteva herself, creates a ballet-like stage for its collections, with dresses draped like costumes on metal poles hanging from the ceiling, exuding a serene and artistic atmosphere.
