APOLLON — A Weddingwear Story by Christakis
Every man dressing for a wedding —whether as groom, best man, or an honored guest— seeks more than elegance. He seeks light, confidence, and balance.
Inspired by Apollo, god of light and harmony, the APOLLON campaign by Christakis introduces a modern perspective on wedding tailoring: one that blends ritual with freedom, precision with emotion, and style with story.
A Collection for All Wedding Moments
APOLLON is not a set of suits. It’s a set of possibilities.
Each jacket is designed to be styled in different ways — with different trousers, shirts, and accessories — so that one can move effortlessly through the events of a wedding weekend: from pre-wedding drinks and beach dinners to the ceremony and the last dance.
This is clothing for the man who doesn’t just wear a look — he lives it. Alongside the people who matter most.
The Mediterranean Off-White
Lightly constructed and effortlessly refined, the off-white jacket is perhaps the most versatile summer choice.
It can be worn as a full suit or on its own, adapting seamlessly to every occasion — from a discerning pre-wedding party to an elegant black tie outfit for the groom.
Crafted from 100% superfine wool with exceptional breathability, it features a soft tailored structure, single-breasted closure with one button, and a wide peak lapel. A Mediterranean favourite for island weddings, offering freshness, understated luxury, and unmistakable light.
Look Suggestions
Look 01 — Poolside Ease
Paired with a crisp white tee and denim, the off-white jacket becomes a statement piece — ideal for a resort or pre-wedding poolside moment.
Look 02 — The Midnight Contrast
The black shirt brings bold contrast to the off-white base — a modern look for the guest or best man with character.
Look 03 — Mediterranean Formal
White shirt and dark knit tie elevate the look for more formal yet breezy moments — perfect for a pre-ceremony or cocktail gathering.
Look 04 — Riviera Shift
Paired with light grey trousers, this look is perfect for daytime wedding events — from brunch to early evening transitions.
Look 05 — Island Black Tie
White tuxedo shirt, navy trousers, and a bow tie — the Mediterranean answer to black tie, with presence and personality.
Look 06 — Modern Sartorial
Black shirt and trousers plus bow tie. A look for the man who blends classic codes with personal style.
Look 07 — The Apollon Tux
Same jacket, now in full black tie with tuxedo shirt and bow tie. Bright yet ceremonial — a perfect choice for the groom who stands out.
The Chic Dark Blue Dinner Jacket
A refined alternative to the classic black tuxedo, the dark blue dinner jacket brings a sense of lightness while preserving the ceremonial spirit.
Crafted in barathea wool with mohair by Vitale Barberis Canonico, it features a silk grosgrain peak lapel — the correct texture for formal wear. The matching trousers include a grosgrain ribbon for perfect visual balance.
This is black tie with Mediterranean finesse.
Look Suggestions
Look 01 — The Total Blue Noir
Black shirt, black bow tie, black shoes. The dark blue jacket takes on a cinematic presence — like a frame from a summer night film. For the groom or best man who dares.
Look 02 — Ceremony Light
Paired with a tuxedo shirt and bow tie, the look reads formal — but never expected. Ideal for characterful weddings by the sea.
Look 03 — After Dark Confidence
Somewhere between black tie and personal statement, this look lets the blue barathea suit catch natural light with poise and ease. Quiet confidence, elevated.
The Unexpected Grey
Double-breasted and softly tailored, this light grey jacket brings surprise to the ceremonial wardrobe.
Crafted from 100% superfine wool by REDA, it features a Neapolitan shoulder (spalla camicia) and unstructured construction — making it breathable, fluid, and ideal for Mediterranean heat.
Its tone is light, but its presence is deep. Unexpectedly elegant.
Look Suggestions
Look 01 — Grey, Groomed & Ceremonial
Soft grey elevates the double-breasted silhouette, creating a formal yet luminous look — ideal for the ceremony or an elegant seaside wedding.
Look 02 — Grey Reimagined (Casual Edition)
The same jacket, now with a tee and denim. For the guest who knows how to dress down — brunch, garden reception, or just understated confidence.
The Rebel Tux
The most eccentric piece of the Apollon collection.
This lightweight dinner jacket is crafted in a subtly glossy wool jacquard by Vitale Barberis Canonico. With a silk grosgrain shawl lapel and structured silhouette, it stands out — unapologetically.
It’s worn as a separate, paired freely with black, grey, or off-white trousers, depending on mood and moment. This is black tie for the bold.
Look Suggestions
Look 01 — Rebel, by the Book
Worn in a full black tie context, with tuxedo shirt and classic black trousers. The jacket plays the lead role without screaming for attention — a sharp alternative for the modern groom.
Look 02 — Ivory Rebellion
The same dinner jacket, now paired with ivory trousers and a white bow tie. The result feels lit from within — somewhere between avant-garde and pristine.
Look 03 — Grey Twist
With light grey trousers, the jacket becomes more expressive and versatile — a striking look for an after-party or relaxed black tie interpretation.
The Quiet Black
Not all black tie is loud.
This understated black jacket is tailored in barathea wool and mohair by Vitale Barberis Canonico, featuring a shawl lapel, spalla camicia shoulder, and fabric-covered buttons — but no silk facing on the lapel.
That small omission changes everything: the piece balances between eveningwear and ceremony, formality and intimacy. A quiet power move.
Look Suggestions
Look 01 — Pure Black, Pure Silence
Worn entirely black — shirt, bow tie, and trousers — without shine or silk lapel. The result is masculine, refined, and quietly confident.
Look 02 — Understated Black Tie
Tuxedo shirt and classic bow tie deliver formal energy, but the absence of silk lapel keeps things grounded. A discreet black tie option for the man who knows.
Look 03 — Black & Denim Ease
Paired with a tee and jeans, the same jacket shifts into cool mode — relaxed but intentional. Perfect for welcome drinks or a stylish post-wedding brunch.
The Preparation Series
Before the ceremony — before the jacket is buttoned, the bow tie adjusted, the moment begins — there is a slower kind of beauty.
The Apollon campaign captures quiet glimpses of this preparation. Moments of elegance, intimacy, and camaraderie — behind closed doors, between friends, before the steps into light.
The Apollon State of Mind
Wearing a Christakis garment has never been only about fabric or fit. It is about a certain way of standing, being, moving — with awareness, with poise, with joy.
Apollon is a collection for men who live the moment fully: not just the wedding day, but everything that surrounds it — the friendship, the laughter, the preparation, the celebration.
A weddingwear story, made of Mediterranean light and personal presence.
All garments shown in the Apollon campaign are available through Christakis’ Made-to-Measure service.
Tailored to your proportions, refined to your style, and crafted by skilled hands — this is weddingwear that becomes personal.
We invite you to book an appointment and explore the ritual of dressing well.
