Antonin Tron introduces his first men’s collection for Balmain with shirts slipping off shoulders and enough leather to suggest that getting dressed is a commitment. For pre-spring 2027, the house looks to surfers and rock stars, finding common ground in their physical confidence. Matthias Vriens photographs Leo Dufloux and Yeray Allgayer reclining in dry grass or draped across wooden blocks, bringing a playful exhibitionism to the clothes.

Art director Sacha Quintin and stylist Eric Diulein help establish the mood through open necklines and poses that put even the suits off duty. A floral shirt slides down the torso above studded leather trousers; broad-shouldered tailoring frames an exposed chest.

Animal prints extend the appetite for display, while the hard flash picks out skin and glossy surfaces with equal enthusiasm. The biker jackets and satin shirts belong to a recognizable rock wardrobe, but the relaxed poses give them another charge. Tron’s Balmain man dresses for attention, then stretches out to enjoy it.
