On February 14, 2026, Purist hosted a chic Valentine’s celebration at Zadig & Voltaire in Aspen, bringing together philanthropic supporters, devoted Purist readers, and fans of the iconic Parisian fashion house for an afternoon of style and heartfelt giving. A portion of proceeds from the event benefited COSF (Children’s Oncology Support Fund), supporting children and families navigating cancer treatment.
The gathering coincided with Zadig & Voltaire unveiling a campaign where the heart beats to the rhythm of the Maison’s iconic pieces—a perfect backdrop for an afternoon devoted to love in all its forms.
Guests mingled among the brand’s signature sparkly array while sipping Society De La Rassi non alcoholic rosé and Entourage rosé, blended with Saint James Organic Brewed Iced Tea, alongside a beautifully curated platter by chef Alexandra Karlinski of Harvest Roaring Fork. Shoppers were treated to a luxurious gift bag presented in a coveted Zadig & Voltaire tote, featuring ProleevaMax, a natural, vegan-friendly medical food capsule designed to manage chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and support immune health, and Antedotum Essential Daily Sunscreen—the perfect indulgent pairing for a celebration dedicated to love and wellness.
Co-hosts Cristina Cuomo and Thomas Pierce welcomed guests throughout the afternoon. Pierce, founder of COSF and the creative force behind the upcoming Aspen Snowball at the The St. Regis Aspen Resort, shared excitement for the week’s philanthropic momentum. This year’s headliners include Chelsea Handler, a special performance by Kate Hudson and the presentation of the Humanitarian Award to Goldie Hawn.
There was unmistakably love in the room—love for fashion, for community and, most importantly, for giving back.
