The Horny and Heartbroken Crescendo of Omar Apollo

also new sneakers from Zellerfeld, Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra, Dries Van Noten's new perfume, and more. © HIGHSNOBIETY / RICKY ALVAREZ THE HORNY AND HEARTBROKEN CRESCENDO OF OMAR APOLLO Omar Apollo is hard to miss. The 6'5 Mexican-American artist towers over his friends in TikToks, onlookers at fashion week, and crowds just walking down the street. Despite his stature, Apollo is quiet, almost reserved. He comes across as gentle.⁠Between looks, as everyone gathers in the building’s basement to prepare for the next setup, he flashes a smile. “Are we still grabbing sushi?” he wants to know, when it’s clear we’re reaching day’s end.

Layered around necks, stacked on wrists, and draped over handbags, Van Cleef’s coveted four-leaf clover has become a cultural avatar for subtle statement jewelry, bolstered by heavyweight cosigns and a boisterous price tag that fuels a perception of exclusivity.

Bellion learned of the club's unique charm when he met Red Star’s Club president, Patrice Haddad, during Paris Fashion Week. Haddad, a filmmaker who founded an advertising and production agency in the ‘80s, clearly appreciated fashion and the arts as much as Bellion. The two spoke about everything but football — a conversation that sparked the move Bellion would later make to the club in 2014.
