Born in Paris, Antonin Tron studied fashion design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp before working as designer for Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, and Balenciaga. He created Atlein to offer women a new proposition of quality, comfort, and authenticity.

The label is inspired by the many facets of modern living: the urban environment and the natural world, subcultures, new technologies, independent music, and contemporary art. For the first collection, Tron worked almost exclusively in jersey to deliver “a precise ready-to-wear statement.”
