Socialite Paris Hilton has generously opened her wardrobe, publicly selling some of her classic clothing items to raise money for the victims of the recent Los Angeles wildfires. This act demonstrates her concern for the community and her sense of responsibility to give back to society using her influence.
Hilton is known for her unique style from the early 2000s, with mini skirts, low-rise jeans, and a love for Juicy Couture tracksuits as her signature elements. The items for sale include many representative pieces from that era, with purple velvet tracksuits, diamond-studded items, and bold handbags attracting many buyers eager to own these iconic fashion items.
In January of this year, multiple wildfires occurred in the Los Angeles area, forcing tens of thousands of California residents to evacuate their homes. To help those affected, Hilton partnered with fashion resale platform Vestiaire Collective, listing over 100 pieces from her personal collection. She stated that all proceeds would be donated to wildfire relief efforts.
Hilton stated on the Vestiaire website that this collection is "filled with personal treasures" and "carries many fond memories." She added, "It's always difficult to part with items that mean so much to me, but knowing that the proceeds will go to charity makes it much easier." She also excitedly stated, "I can't wait to see others wearing these classic pieces and showing off the #sliv style!" "Sliv" or "Sliving" is a neologism coined by Hilton, combining the slang "slaying" and "living" (enjoying the good life).
It is reported that the collection sold out in less than a day, including a pink sequined dress by Pamela Roland that sold for over $1,900. Previously, some of the world's top musicians also came together to raise funds for post-disaster reconstruction efforts through the FireAid charity concert. The concert raised approximately $156 million for those affected by the wildfires last month, with thirty of the world's top bands and musicians, including Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Dr. Dre, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Stevie Wonder, participating in the performance.
