Paris Hilton auctions personal wardrobe for LA wildfire relief
What's the story
Reality TV star and fashion icon, Paris Hilton, has taken a significant philanthropic step by auctioning off her personal wardrobe to aid the Los Angeles wildfire relief fund.
In collaboration with Vestiaire Collective, a fashion resale platform, the 44-year-old media personality listed nearly 100 items from her collection on Wednesday.
These pieces included luxury labels like Mugler, Balenciaga, Versace, and Miu Miu. Unsurprisingly, her wardrobe sold out within seconds.
Fashion journey
Hilton's iconic fashion pieces and style evolution
Hilton's auctioned collection featured iconic pieces from her early 2000s fashion era, including Juicy Couture tracksuits, a one-of-a-kind Louis Vuitton handbag, tinted sunglasses, and a jacket with her name in rhinestones.
Other styles like a floral Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress and brown Kim Jones x Hennessy sneakers reflected her fashion evolution.
"I've always embraced taking risks and having fun with fashion," she said in a press statement.
Quick sale
Hilton's collection sold out in less than a day
The items from Hilton's collection were quickly snapped up, with Vestiaire Collective reporting that all listed items sold out in less than a day. Most of the items were purchased within three hours of being listed.
The sale began at 9:00am EST on Wednesday and prices ranged from $75 to $2,250.
Proceeds from this initiative will go to wildfire charities through 11:11 Media Impact, a nonprofit organization founded by Hilton herself.
Charity work
Hilton's personal impact and philanthropic mission
Hilton was personally impacted by the LA wildfires last month as her Malibu home, where she lived with her husband Carter Reum and son Phoenix, was destroyed.
She pledged to support relief efforts for the devastating fires through this sale.
"This sale will support my charity's work around relief efforts for the devastating LA fires and our ongoing mission to protect vulnerable youth from child abuse and bring hope to those in need," said Hilton.
