ATLEIN AW25

Antonin Tron’s ATLEIN Fall Winter 2025 collection, unveiled at the Palais de Tokyo, was a study in sartorial sculpture. Drawing from prehistoric Venus figurines; symbols of fertility, power, and the female form, Tron reimagined the body as a canvas for architectural drapery. The collection’s DNA traces back to Constantin Brancusi, the modernist sculptor whose streamlined abstractions have long inspired Tron’s work. Here, clothing transcends fabric; it’s carved, molded, and contoured like stone.

Sharp, military inspired coats and suits anchored the show, their exaggerated ovoid volumes echoing Brancusi’s Bird in Space. Wool coats with rounded backs and asymmetrical trousers disrupted traditional proportions, while batwing sleeve poplin shirts played with negative space. Architectural shoulders dominated, balanced by hand ruched T-shirts and fuseau pants in fleece-like Japanese cotton, a nod to normcore minimalism. Vegan leather alternatives (coated jerseys mimicking nappa) and fur effect jerseys underscored Tron’s sustainability ethos.

The collection thrived on contrasts; satin against military wool, rigid shoulders against fluid ruching. British actress Wallis Day (a muse in Tron’s orbit) embodied this tension, strutting in looks that fused sensuality with severity. Tron’s AW25 collection is proof that fashion can be both wearable art and a rebellion against the expected. As the industry grapples with sustainability and identity, ATLEIN offers a quiet revolution; clothes that honor the past while sculpting the future.
