ATLEIN Spring Summer 2025 during Paris Fashion Week
TheATLEINSpringSummer2025collectionbyAntoninTrondraws inspiration from the radical lesbian movements of the 1980s and 90s in London, particularly as portrayed in the 2021 documentary “Rebel Dykes” by Siân A. Williams and Harri Shanahan. The film captures the vibrant creativity, politics, and sexuality of punk lesbians in Thatcher- era London.
• Alsoinfluentialis“LoveBites”,thegroundbreakingbookoflesbian photography by Del LaGrace Volcano, known for its bold imagery of self-affirmation, self-definition, and queer sensibility. This historical context informs ATLEIN’s new collection, which reinterprets the movement’s punk and post-punk codes and its fetishistic elements.
• The collection emphasizes a strong, multifaceted femininity, blending ATLEIN’s signature drapes with strong suiting and military- inspired outerwear. Antonin’s approach to fabric sourcing mirrors this duality, combining new daywear materials like Japanese cotton and light tailoring wool with eveningwear propositions, such as the introduction of Swarovski crystals, hand-placed on ATLEIN’s classic viscose jersey. Antonin also continues his exploration of vegan leather alternatives, using specially coated jerseys to mimic the look and feel of nappa and suede.
• Construction remains central to Antonin’s design philosophy, with fabrics meticulously pulled, draped, ruched, knotted, and molded to the body. The color palette is muted and moody, defined by shades of grays, browns and off-whites.
