Idris and Sabrina were recently named the faces of Eternity Aromatic Essence fragrances by Calvin Klein, featuring perfumes for men and women. “Idris and I are passionate about the beauty and wellness industries and creating inclusive work that makes us feel beautiful in our skin, in an industry where our needs can often feel underserved,” said the model in a statement.

“Calvin Klein is an iconic brand that has always encouraged freedom and self-expression. We loved creating these images with the team and partnering with Calvin Klein on the Eternity campaign.”
