Designer FW26 collection: for his first collection at Balmain, Antonin Tron returns to the house's 1945 origins and reawakens the archive as a living present. The Creative Director champions the founder's couture tailoring — an architectural vision of the body, filtered through structural clarity and modern restraint. The signature jacket, born of the uniform Pierre Balmain designed in 1975 for Air France's first female pilot, opens the show. The flou, inherited from the draping of the 1950s, runs through dresses, skirts, tops and leather pieces. The Sphynx bag, inspired by the Sphinge dress of 1977, completes the silhouette. Luxury reimagined through ease, presence and freedom of movement.
