Grenelle Estevez . . . need I say more?

Grenelle Estévez (born Luis Estévez, 1930, in Cuba) attended the Traphagen School of Fashion. In 1955 he began designing under his own name, a label that lasted until 1968. In 1972, he designed for actress Eva Gabor (The Eva Gabor Look by Estévez). By 1977, Estévez was designing for many Hollywood stars, and eventually retired in 1997.

Here are a few of my favorite Estévez pieces, currently for sale on Etsy.
