Women's Fall-Winter 2026
by Antonin Tron

Every house is built on foundations, and for Balmain’s new Creative Director Antonin Tron, the foundations of his Balmain are to be found in 1945 when Pierre Balmain established his maison in Paris at a time of profound social and cultural change. Drawing on Balmain’s origins isn’t an exercise in nostalgia for the past, but one of finding contemporary relevance and reality in the archives as emblematic of a living, breathing present. Tron identifies with a house which he sees as from the very beginning exalting a body-enhancing, architectural view of the female form, one reflective of a whole new world for women, focused on dynamism, sensuality, and an opulence which felt modern in its restraint.
