Atlein Fall 2025: Leaning Into the Curve
Sculptural forms influenced Antonin Tron for Atlein’s fall collection, ranging from the Venus figurines from the Paleolithic era, which some archaeologists now suggest as signs of early matriarchal societies and goddess-led pantheons, to the works of Romanian artist Constantin Brâncuși and Madame Grès.
The French designer’s throughline for the season was “developing the Atlein vocabulary beyond dresses,” he said backstage after the show. To that end, he developed outerwear even further, which grew to include floor-grazing peacoats, a long teddy coat, padded satin numbers with shawl collars or sack-back blousons.

Their lush hands echoed the supple fluidity of his signature viscose jersey and sheer draped silhouettes, in which he played with asymmetric draping and gathers that further highlighted feminine curves.
Daywear was another proposition he was keen to develop, not only to address the 9-to-5 crowd but also as a way to make his designs more suited to a range of body types and proportions, he added. That didn’t mean compromising on his sensual, draped works.
Cases in point: a trio of draped sheer silhouettes, at first glance gowns, turned out to be body suits with long mermaid skirts. Other options included leggings, fluid sheer shirts and tailored trousers cut generously on the leg.
While evening dresses continue to be the majority of Tron’s nine-year-old label, such sculptural separates cemented an impression of growing maturity and broadening audience.
