Though, he's not in the 30-something category (born 1970), Spanish designer David Delfin's personal style is the perfect embodiment of Dirty30Thirty style: crisp, clean and edgy at the same time. David's style is a symphony of minimalist punk. His white shirt/black pants ensemble keeps his look classic and refined while his interesting accessories of minimalist aesthetics with echoes of punk gives off a refined grown-up rebellious feel. It's also interesting how little details like the tattoos on his arms, earrings and short cropped hair adds OG-ness in his look. Authenticity to his true nature, conscious effort to find the perfect fit of clothes and discerning eye for details keep him apart from the rest .
When word got around that blogger Pelayo is coming to Manila with beau David, I didn't pass up the chance to "meet" him in person. While everyone was giggling with the youth of Pelayo, my eyes were at David's, visually absorbing his sleek modernity . I met him at the afterparty of the brand who brought him here and had someone introduce him to me. We shook hands and I died. And came back to life. And died again.
"Fashion fades, Style is eternal," Yves Saint Laurent once quipped. I'm always reminded of this when I see a picture of David. His self-imposed personal uniform created his signature style that is beyond what is trendy and fashionable. He updates his look with seasonal pieces but the spirit of his style overpowers what is fashionable making him an iconic man of style.
