In “The Brutalist,” which was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, Brody plays a visionary architect escaping postwar Europe for America where he rebuilds his life and career by creating a project for a wealthy Pennsylvania industrialist who encourages his talent.
The Cos campaign was set against a striking architectural backdrop of its own, Ravenscourt Hospital building in Hammersmith, London, a 1933 Grade II listed Art Deco landmark designed by Scottish modernist architect Thomas S. Tait.
Brody appears in the campaign alongside a cast of models, wearing ready-to-wear pieces and accessories rooted in timeless design. There is an emphasis on tailoring seen in the navy shadow stripe double-breasted unstructured suit worn by Brody, as well as a retro classicism in such wardrobing pieces as the moss green chore coat and pleated khakis that Brody wears with penny loafers in the photographs.
Riding the success of “The Brutalist,” Best Actor Oscar nominee Brody has been hitting the fashion scene of late, appearing with his girlfriend, Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, at the Louis Vuitton men’s fall 2025 show in Paris in January, and attending the Giorgio Armani show in Milan with costar Joe Alwyn. He also debuted a travel collection with Bally back in June.
Photographer Karim Sadli lensed the Cos campaign featuring Brody, Clément Chabernaud, Taemin Park, Badhiel Nyang, Mona Tougaard, Rianne Van Rompaey and Jiahui Zhang.
Womenswear also includes fluid summer tailoring and suede pieces, including a biscuit-colored cinched top and pencil skirt, as well as a versatile trenchcoat with oversize dropped epaulettes, classic shirting and lightweight polo shirts, and on-trend sculptural silver jewelry.
Based in London, Cos is part of Sweden’s H&M group. As a whole, the fast-fashion giant reported lackluster sales in 2024, but group chief executive officer Daniel Ervér noted that the smaller retail brands in the portfolio, Cos and Arket, had performed strongly.
