"As all eyes turned to the Louvre after last month's shocking jewel heist, one especially stylish figure on the museum grounds caught the internet's attention: a sharply dressed man, wearing a fedora tilted just so, standing coolly next to some nonplussed police officers. Buzz about the so-called French detective included speculation that he wasn't even real, but a product of artificial intelligence."
"He explained his clothing: For me, it's important to dress classic. And I like to dress like that because I love history, especially the 20th century. He has been embracing '40s-era fashion for almost a year now, he said. His obsession with the style began when he dressed as Jean Moulin, a hero of the French resistance during World War II, for carnival. Amid the parades and costumed festival-goers, he found a liking for the new look. He realized the effect he had on other people, said his mother, Felicite Garzon Delvaux. Everyone looked impressed."
Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux, 15, lives in Rambouillet near Paris and became an internet sensation after a photograph captured him standing near police at the Louvre during a jewel heist. He wears 1940s-inspired clothing daily and cites a love of 20th-century history and fictional detective Hercule Poirot as style influences. His interest began after dressing as French resistance hero Jean Moulin at a carnival. He had planned the museum visit with his mother and grandfather, learned about the viral photo via a TikTok shown by a friend, and insists he was not involved in the investigations.
