The campaign features models Mica Argañaraz, Luíza Perote, Leonard Kipker, and Gaye Serigne bathed in warm, natural light. The womenswear range in [COS'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-jewelry-collections) summer-ready offerings includes matching sets, dresses with bouclé fringe and sheer panels, preppy knitted shorts, and silk or linen trousers, while menswear offers unstructured tailoring, workwear-inspired details, and sculptural knitwear.
