French fashion house Balmain has appointed designer Antonin Tron as its new creative director, a week after the departure of Olivier Rousteing, who led the brand for more than a decade.
Tron, 41, is the founder of the Paris-based label Atlein, known for its artisanal approach, sculptural draping, and expert manipulation of jersey fabrics. His appointment marks a new chapter for Balmain, as the house aims to blend its heritage with a more contemporary and sustainable vision of luxury.
