In the campaign, Black is Beauty; Brown is Power; Pink is Sex; Orange is Healing; Yellow is Sunlight; Tan is Harmony; White is Nonbinary; Turquoise is Magic, and Blue is Serenity. The apparel features "This is Love" printed throughout, worn by various actors in an artistic depiction of unity.

Calvin Klein works with multiple resources that support LGTBQ+ education, inclusion, and justice and encourages consumers to visit its website to learn about its Pride initiatives.
