Smart Smurf Fashion

David Delfin Revitalizes the Androgenous Addiction

You say you were inspired by the Polychromie of Le Corbusier, but be honest David Delfin, you also took some cues from “The Smurfs,” didn’t you? I mean, all that’s missing are the white hats.

Aside from paying homage to “The Smurfs,” David Delfin also brought home his androgynous fixation through a “Reality Gets Confused” theme with his Spring 2010 collection. As Laird Borrelli-Persson points out, this may have “seemed a bit last-season,” but he challenges the look by avoiding black while focusing on an unusually limited color palette: green.

With one-sleeved looks, standout knits and generous jersey materials, David Delfin definitely has me excited for spring.
