Phase II · 81 pieces · The catalogue is live

Releone Apperelle

Eighty-one men's pieces — built with the same standard of provenance, fabric, and cut as the seafood. Loro Piana cashmere-vicuña. Henry Poole black tie. Holland & Sherry chalk stripe. Edward Green Oxfords. Sea Island cotton briefs. Wardrobe to match the table.

The thesis

From the table to the wardrobe.

The same logic that produces a glass jar of sashimi-grade Bluefin produces a perfectly cut linen shirt. Trace the source. Pay the maker. Don't hide the seam. Don't hide the fish.

Most luxury apparel was invented to look expensive. We're building Apperelle to be expensive in the only way that matters — fabric you can name, weavers you can find, cuts that hold for a decade.

This isn't a merch line. It is a real apparel house under the Releone roof.

The opening capsule

Three lines. Mediterranean tailoring.

Apperelle Phase I is a tight three-line capsule. No drops. No collabs. No streetwear borrowing. The lines are built for the way Releone customers actually live — at the table, on the boat, in the city, in the hot weeks of the Mediterranean summer.

Line 01 · Casa

The House Line

Loungewear and at-home elegance. Ribbed silk-cotton tees, drawstring linen trousers, raw-edge cashmere robes. Built for the kind of breakfast that runs into lunch.

  • Italian silk-cotton from Como
  • Belgian linen, garment-dyed
  • Mongolian cashmere, 4-ply minimum
  • Released as singles, not seasons
Line 02 · Mare

The Sea Line

Coastal elegance. Open-collar shirts, swim trunks cut deep enough to walk into a hotel lobby, deck shoes, Egyptian cotton terry. Designed for the Mediterranean July weeks.

  • Egyptian Giza 87 cotton
  • Recycled-PET swim, MOQ at 600gsm
  • Vegetable-tanned leather, Tuscan
  • Sea-naval color palette: bone, teal, oxide
Line 03 · Città

The City Line

For New York, Tel Aviv, Milan, Dubai. Soft tailoring. Three-piece capsules. The single-button blazer that fits over an open shirt. Built for the dinners that actually matter.

  • Loro Piana & Vitale Barberis Canonico cloths
  • Deconstructed shoulder, half-canvas
  • Made in Naples (Solito-school workshop)
  • Limited cuts — 80 pieces per release
First glimpses · LEONE atelier reference

In motion. In cloth.

Apperelle is still in development — these are atelier studies and motion references for the first capsule. Final pieces are made-to-order, not made-for-Instagram. The textures, drape, and silhouette below are what the final fabric and cut will produce.

Casa · Black shirt · drape study
Città · Neapolitan suit · soft shoulder
Mare · Polo · Giza 87 cotton
Casa · Sleepwear · silk-cotton

The house

Three men, one register.

Apperelle is built on a single male register — the founder leads, two editorial elite male models support. There are no women in the campaign because there are no women in the line. Apperelle is men's apex apparel; the women's house is a separate, future Releone proposition.

Brandon J. Sellam, Founder of Releone — master reference 4K
Founder · Brand protagonist
Brandon J. Sellam

The face of Releone. Founder-signed certificates, Sigilium hero, all founder-direct camera. Every campaign orbits Brandon — Yosef and David are the supporting cast.

Yosef — Releone editorial elite male model, Mediterranean register, master 4K
Primary face · Mediterranean register
Yosef

Twenty-six. 6'0''. Dark hair, short beard, dark hazel eyes. The Hedi Slimane male crossed with a discreetly trained boxer. Primary face for the Apperelle line, lifestyle B-roll, accessories.

David — Releone editorial elite male model, Northern European register, master 4K
Editorial counterpart · Northern European register
David

Twenty-six. 6'0''. Blond, clean-shaven, ice-blue eyes. Helmut Newton's German male muse meets a young Alain Delon. Used opposite Yosef for editorial variety — the fairer, classical-blonde register.

Master references generated by Nano Banana Pro at 4K under locked character bibles (31_Character_Bibles/). Every subsequent shot — campaign, lookbook, runway film — uses these masters as the character anchor via image-to-image so the cast stays consistent across every release.

The standard

Where we sit, honestly.

Apperelle's quality target is plain. We aim alongside these houses, not below them. The press is welcome to compare on fabric, cut, and provenance — that's the comparison we're built for.

Loro Piana — fabric standard Brunello Cucinelli — quiet luxury The Row — minimal cut Hermès — leather + provenance Frescobol Carioca — Mediterranean leisure Sunspel — basics done right Savile Row — tailoring discipline

These are reference points, not partners. Apperelle is independent — single-house, founder-owned, no licensing.

The road

From food to fabric.

Q1 2028

First samples

Closed-circle wear-tests with patrons and the chef network. Adjustments made privately, not on Instagram.

Late 2028

Casa Line — first release

Loungewear opens to waitlist. Released as singles, not seasons. No discounts, no resort drops, no merchandised noise.

2029

Mare + Città

Sea + city lines roll out. By the end of 2029, Apperelle is a complete three-line house under the Releone roof.

The Apperelle waitlist

First fitting. First piece.

The Apperelle waitlist is opened separately from the food. You'll hear from us when atelier sourcing begins — and when it's time to pick a first piece.

On the list. We'll write when the atelier opens. — ARIA
No spam. We email when something real ships.
