There are things I dislike about France, but the fact that you can just decide to be fancy and no one really questions it is not one of them.

I remember as a child in the NJ suburbs waiting for my father at the train station. Every man who stepped out from the NYC train wore a hat.

This story gets more French every day.

Wow that guy looks as cool as 15-year-old me THOUGHT he did.

as a teenager (a category of young people recently given a name) I too dressed for my visits to the town museum, although with a more homely aesthetic, and it would have been hands off Dad’s fedora the Detroit Institute of Arts was my Louvre 70 years ago

Sacre bleu!

Does he do weekly French fast food reviews…?

And why not? He looks dapper as.

It is Paris

Because every day is all there is

You wouldn't find a 15-year-old dressed like a 1940s detective in this country. That's because all the 1940s detectives are in black and white.

Derek Guy's effect on mankind

Raymond Reddington, Jr?

Someone please introduce this cool kid to @dieworkwear.bsky.social

Les gars déchirent.

Le gentleman (zhãt-le-mãn)

Now you think about that when I beat the rap

Hey, it’s not like Fantomas is going to willingly turn himself in

I like the cut of his jib

Apparently Alain Delon has reincarnated. That was quick!

Dress for the job you want.

New Alain Delon just dropped.

Chief Inspector Dreyfus is going to lose his shit again over this

. . . who planned the whole thing 🙄

he had that shit on

Fantastic, Brilliant 🥸 Inspector Clouseau!

15 and dressing so dapper with a nod to the French Resistance! The real story turned out cooler than I imagined, for once. Hope he continues enjoying himself.

He looks more like Alain Delon in Le Samourai than anyone from the 1940s.

As a man who has many fedoras in his hat collection and was in France several times in 2009/2010, this news has worried me.

Awesome!! 😊😊

What a lovely story.

Dapper, and so are the French cops. Unlike over here, where far too many of our own, including most of our "new" secret policemen, are morbidly obese.

🥰 I suppose the waistcoat _and_ the tie pin ought to have been a giveaway.

It's awesome that he dresses like that, but it made me sad nontheless.

“I like to be chic.” Love it!

🪡 @dieworkwear.bsky.social

International man of mystery.

Tellement français !

He's just got the swagger! Haha, I respect it.

Adorable. He has kind of a young Mastroianni look to me.

This is fantastic. They asked officers why the gates were shut. Seconds later, AP photographer Thibault Camus, documenting the security cordon, caught Pedro midstride. “When the picture was taken, I didn’t know,” Pedro said. “I was just passing through.”

Gotta Love it...

Great reminder that we all dress like shit today.

This kid is going places.

Also just generally funny to use the term “unmasked” to refer to a man famous for a photo where is face is clearly visible.

He looked tres chic. Lol

“Sometimes, there’s a man.”

"“I like to be chic,” he said. “I go to school like this.”"

I hope this kid singlehandedly brings back men's hats (I prefer porkpies to fedoras myself)

Clouseau Jr.

I remember once having tea and macarons at Ladurée and a young guy on next table was in full 18th garb.

✊

Pleased that mystery has been resolved. I haven’t been able to sleep properly for weeks now. Finally rest can return.

"louvre heist being the feel good story of the year" wasn't on anyone's list for 2025 and yet it seems so appropriate

…and that umbrella is

Wes Anderson must make a film about this kid.

He looks suspiciously like a young Jean-Pierre Léaud…

Nah fuck that, I know a Time Lord when I see one.

This kid is going to get so many date offers

well I'm sure you are...

But in the most interesting way

We already know who that man is

He's French, of course he does!

I would love to see his closet! I bet he would love to show us all too.

Belgian!

Thanks for the follow-up, as I still didn't know. I saw this photo several days ago and fell in love with it. A definite time travel mashup.

The policeman’s expression here is hilarious. “My name is officer Deja Vu… have we not met before monsieur?” Reference from here, fun fact by the way: Deja Vu was played by Carson the Butler! youtu.be/yj9OYFkB2y8...

OBSESSED

It’s giving Breathless. I’d bet my house* that he watches Lupin. *i don’t have a house

good kid, he's killin it

Ma déception est immense et ma journée est gâchée.

Le grand Meaulnes

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social

I thought people were joking about them being a detective, clearly it's just a kid?

What's crazy to me is he's 15? Nah he looks like he's 28 and about to go back to his office to have a cigarette and a glass of whiskey

the kid's gonna solve the case *film noir music*

Regardez ce vraiment hipster

Encyclopedia Brown détective de quartier 💜💜💜

No explanation of where they got 1990s Tcheky Karyo?

Has @tychobrahe.bsky.social seen this? This kid seems very Jerry-coded.

I hope someone is writing a fifteen years old, 1950's, French detective story, Le Encyclopédia Marron

I was hoping it was some future incarnation of The Doctor.

there was a Dapper Lad who went to school with my kids, I loved that he didn't get picked on and everyone wanted to see what look he'd be rocking on any given day.

I hate to inform my 15 year old self that wearing this to my high school is a bad idea

Usually when 15 years old try to dress over the top dapper they fail comically. The french do it better I guess

What’s the French equivalent for “M’Lady”?

He's 15?

I think we’re in a transition from that shrunken Thom Browne silhouette to something more draped/Armani-ish in menswear. But that‘s just a theory, I defer to @tomandlorenzo.bsky.social and @dieworkwear.bsky.social, like everyone else.

Love the idea that he was like "a WHAT? at the LOUVRE?! I gotta go."

top 3 genre of guy

I am so fucking impressed

Has @dieworkwear.bsky.social weighed in on M. Delvaux?

Lt. I Got that Shit On, is on the case.

Ah.

I mean, I was watching a show where they were interviewing people on the street in London, and they came across a Black man dressed to the nines including a top hat and tails. And he said he just dresses like that because it’s London & just felt he should look his best.

How to miss the point and let everyone know.

A little neurospicey makes everything more fun 🤩

Pedro is the hero we didn't know that we needed. He is the only detective who could catch Arsène Lupin. (Could. But wouldn't.)

Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux stuns in viral photo ~Pop Crave~

The young Inspector Maigret..

Hilarious!!!

Posing as Commissaire Maigret 😁

He's not involved, he's just "that guy".

How many YA authors just added him to their character bank?😆

Great story, thank you!

People are GREAT. ChatGPT could never come up with characters like this.
