JASON CARROLL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And right now we are backstage behind the catwalk at the Esteban Cortazar show. All the girls look like they were walking pretty good in this show. How did it go?
ESTEBAN CORTAZAR, FASHION DESIGNER: All the girls did an amazing job, right? Sexy, sensual. It went amazing. I'm so happy.
I haven't been able to comprehend that it's finished. So it's not a question that I can answer.
CARROLL: Well I can see that you must have had a good show because I can see all the people waiting behind you to congratulate you on what you did.
Tell us about the clothes? Tell us about your vision for fall 2004.
CORTAZAR: It was a vision of finding a woman's mystery. Just kind of capturing a woman's sensuality through mysterious ways. Not really being so obvious. She's sensual, she's beautiful, she's sexy. But she's still very mysterious. Like a mysterious Catwoman and the glamour of Jessica Rabbit.
CARROLL: Very interesting.
Now I want to ask you about something. You're only 19-years-old. You haven't even graduated from high school yet. But I know you're about to do that.
CORTAZAR: About to.
CARROLL: What has this experience been like for you? This has got to be a heavy experience, all these beautiful girls, all this attention, 19.
CORTAZAR: It's been amazing. It's all happening really fast, like a roller coaster. It all happened just so fast. It's hard to take it and understand it.
But it's amazing. I mean it's unbelievable. I feel so honored to be a part of this industry and to be able to have the opportunity to have all these amazing people just wait for me and say hello. It's amazing.
CARROLL: I know this also was a little crazy before things got going backstage. You were running around. You had this look of tension on your face. How are you feeling now?
CORTAZAR: It's still there. But it's just starting to come down. It's just good. I mean it's every show. That's just the way it is. You have to live with it.
CARROLL: All right, Esteban Cortazar, bright future ahead of you. Thank you very, very much. Good luck. Talk to your people there, your fans.
