David Delfin Revitalizes the Androgenous Addiction

— September 12, 2009 — Luxury
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.
