#ParisFashionWeek played host to just one debut this season — AntoninTron’s at Balmain. The stakes were high for the Atlein founder’s first collection for the French heritage house earlier today. “What I wanted to convey with the show was this idea of minimal or controlled opulence,” he said backstage. After years of being held in Parisian palaces and grand hotels, Tron held his first
#Balmain show in a former industrial site in the 14th arrondissement, with a set conceived by Berlin-based architect Andrea Faraguna, who draped a massive curtain through the room. With pilot-inspired leather jackets, drapey silk dresses, and animal prints, attendees say he managed to infuse his own take into Balmain’s signature style.
