French fashion designer Antonin Tron has been named as the new Creative Director of Balmain, succeeding Olivier Rousteing, who announced his departure from the fashion house earlier this month.

Tron commented 'Balmain has a truly inspiring history. At its heart, the house embodies savoir-faire, culture, sensuality, and elegance – fashion that is radiant, precise, and bold. This resonates deeply with me, and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to build on this incredible legacy'.
