Paris Hilton Teams Up With Vestiaire Collective for Charity Sale After Wildfires
Paris Hilton is selling nearly 100 pieces from her wardrobe on Vestiaire Collective to support victims of the Los Angeles wildfires.
In a colorful initiative, Paris Hilton is teaming up with fashion resale platform Vestiaire Collective to support relief efforts following the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that raged in January. The 43-year-old influencer and activist is selling nearly 100 pieces from her own closet to benefit her nonprofit, 11.11 Media Impact.
This exclusive sale on Vestiaire Collective is not only a unique opportunity to acquire iconic Paris Hilton pieces, but also a gesture of solidarity for the communities affected by the wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles . On January 7, the hotel heiress' Malibu villa, located in the Palisades, was reduced to ashes by the flames. The tragedy shocked Paris Hilton , who shared on X (formerly Twitter) a live video of the fire, expressing her shock at this loss. "Watching our Malibu house burn in front of my family, live on television, is an experience no one should ever have to go through," she wrote at the time.
The wildfires destroyed more than 16,000 homes and commercial properties in the Los Angeles area, according to a study by the University of California, Los Angeles. Of those losses, 6,822 were in Malibu and the Palisades, which were devastated by the flames, while another 9,418 were in Altadena due to the Eaton Fire. In response, Paris Hilton's 11.11 Media Impact team jumped into action, partnering with charities to provide relief to those affected.
The 100 pieces Paris Hilton is putting up for sale on Vestiaire Collective are sure to sell out at record speed, according to the platform’s estimates. In fact, if all the pieces sell out quickly, they will raise about $24,000 to help victims of the wildfires. Shoppers will be able to find pieces that harken back to Hilton’s career in the 2000s, like her iconic Juicy Couture velour tracksuit, as well as more recent items. A $2,363 Takashi Murakami x Louis Vuitton bag, Hilton-branded slogan T-shirts, crystal-encrusted denim jackets with Paris Hilton embroidered on the back, and even mini dresses from designers including Mugler, Lanvin, Alexis, and Self-Portrait. A Self-Portrait dress, which Paris wore during her visit to Washington to advocate for the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act, is also up for sale.
But that's not all: prestigious brands are also joining the cause, with Max Mara lending one of its iconic $1,260 101801 coats, said to be one of Paris' favorite styles. Pamella Roland also lent her touch by donating a sequined dress, a style that Paris has often worn in public appearances.
This collaboration between Vestiaire Collective and Paris Hilton is a first for the platform, which earlier this year partnered with jewelry designer Stephanie Gottlieb to raise funds for the Los Angeles firefighters after the wildfires. Vestiaire Collective, which has already organized charity sales with celebrities such as Jessica Chastain , Laura Dern and Chloe Fineman , has become a major player in the second-hand fashion sector , with a gross market value exceeding $1 billion.
The numbers speak for themselves: on average, buyers on the platform spend $395 per transaction, and the American market now represents 20% of Vestiaire Collective's business volume. A true success story that is written with style and solidarity. So, if you want to treat yourself to a piece of Paris Hilton 's history while supporting a noble cause, now is the time to make a fashionable and charitable gesture.
