Designer Profile
Antonin Tron
Born in Paris in 1984, Antonin Tron studied fashion design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and apprenticed with Raf Simons. Upon graduation in 2008, Tron returned to Paris and joined the studios of Louis Vuitton and Givenchy, before establishing ATLEIN in March 2016. ATLEIN is the 2016 recipient of the ANDAM Prix Des Premières Collection. Since its debut collection, Atlein has been supported by international stockists including Net-a-Porter, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Ikram, The Webster and Boon the Shop.
The label name ATLEIN (pronounced at-line) evokes a fluid, ever-changing site, a continually-evolving place for research and experimentation. ATLEIN, as the Atlantic Ocean, is both a defined site and physically real, but one that is naturally fluid, with morphing boundaries and layered depths. ATLEIN is a place that will continue to be defined not only by its designer, Antonin Tron, but also by its wearers.
