VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE PARTNERS WITH PARIS HILTON FOR CLOSET SALE FEATURING ICONIC LOOKS WITH PROCEEDS BENEFITING HILTON'S NONPROFIT 11:11 MEDIA IMPACT

NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vestiaire Collective, the leading global platform for pre-loved luxury fashion, announces its latest celebrity closet sale with OG influencer, entrepreneur, innovator, and philanthropist Paris Hilton with net proceeds benefiting her nonprofit, 11:11 Media Impact and their efforts to support relief for the LA fires, where she's been leveraging her platform to raise awareness, provide resources, and assist affected communities.

As a certified B-Corp, Vestiaire Collective is partnering with Hilton, a longtime circular fashion advocate, on this exclusive charity sale, selling nearly 100 pre-loved pieces directly from Hilton's personal closet that showcase her iconic style and fashion evolution, from socialite to modern business mogul.

The sale is a unique opportunity to own pieces from a bona fide fashion icon, including a Juicy Couture velour tracksuit, Paris Hilton-signed slogan T-shirts and Von Dutch jacket, bedazzled denim jackets with "Paris Hilton" embroidered on the back, and a vintage Takashi Murakami x Louis Vuitton bag. Among other standouts are a Miu Miu studded biker jacket, her signature mini dresses from brands such as Lanvin, Mugler, Self-Portrait, and Zhivago, and a selection of handbags and shoes from Balenciaga, Versace, and Giuseppe Zanotti. Max Mara has also lent their support to the sale by donating the Max Mara 101801 topcoat, a timeless piece that Paris has reworn, while Pamella Roland, a longtime supporter of Hilton, has donated an evening dress. Prices range from $75 to $2250 and will be available to purchase globally.

"I've always embraced taking risks and having fun with fashion. I hope the pieces in my closet inspire others to experiment with their style and celebrate originality. 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. I can't think of a better way to combine my greatest passions, fashion and charity, than with a closet sale. I'm so thankful to Vestiaire Collective for championing not only charitable causes but also pushing consumers to make fun, iconic fashion choices," says Hilton, CEO of 11:11 Media Impact.

Net proceeds from the sale will be donated to 11:11 Media Impact, a non-profit founded by Hilton to protect children globally, historically focusing on ending institutional child abuse due to Paris's lived-experience. Hilton, a vocal advocate for the issue, played a key role in passing the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act in December 2024 which requires greater transparency of youth residential treatment facilities in the United States. As a resident of Los Angeles, Hilton has been actively supporting the California wildfire recovery efforts through 11:11 Media Impact. The proceeds of the closet sale will also go towards providing financial assistance to families who have lost their homes, providing short-term housing, and daily essentials.

"Fashion has the power to tell stories of self-expression and identity, and our closet sales have always been about celebrating trailblazers. Paris is a true icon, inspiring us not only with her bold style, but also with her courage to share her personal story to spark change. As pioneers in the fashion industry, committed to creating a more sustainable future, we are proud to collaborate with Paris, a changemaker advocating for the rights of children and teens," says Co-founder and President of Vestiaire Collective, Fanny Moizant.

The sale also features unique content across Paris Hilton's personal channels and Vestiaire Collective-owned channels, including an interview with Hilton and editorial content on the main homepage, as well as dedicated e-mails and curated shopping features.

Founded in Paris in 2009, Vestiaire Collective stands out by offering its global community of fashion lovers access to one-of-a-kind wardrobes from around the world, as well as maintaining official partnerships with some of the biggest names in luxury fashion, including Burberry, Gucci, Chloé, and more.

This partnership with Hilton is part of the company's ambitious growth strategy in the United States and follows another major pop culture moment for the brand: its 2024 feature in Season 4 of Emily in Paris. The United States is now Vestiaire Collective's largest market, representing 20% of its total business.

VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE PARTNERS WITH PARIS HILTON FOR CLOSET SALE FEATURING ICONIC LOOKS WITH PROCEEDS BENEFITING HILTON'S NONPROFIT 11:11 MEDIA IMPACT

The launch coincided with ChangAn's 28.59 millionth vehicle rolling off the assembly line, marking a key milestone in its international expansion.

RAYONG, Thailand, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ChangAn Automobile ("ChangAn" or "the Company"), an intelligent low-carbon mobility technology company, officially opened its first international new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturing base in Rayong, Thailand, integrating sustainable, low-carbon, flexible manufacturing, and intelligent digital systems that focus on efficiency, cost, and quality. The launch marks a key milestone for ChangAn in its international manufacturing structure and injects advanced intelligent manufacturing power into Thailand's automotive industry.

The opening of ChangAn's Rayong Factory marks a new phase of its Vast Ocean Plan, shifting from product exports to industrial globalisation. It showcases the Company's potential in global expansion across products, smart manufacturing, branding, and green, digital innovation.

As a key production hub, the plant features five intelligent workshops — including welding, painting, general and engine assembly, and battery — with 90% automation at key quality control stations, among the highest in Thailand's auto industry. The factory incorporates energy-saving and eco-friendly features aligned with green development goals. A 14MW photovoltaic system will provide 45% of the plant's electricity. Recirculating air towers, louvers, natural lighting, and rainwater recycling will cut energy use for lighting and ventilation, improve water efficiency, and lower energy costs by an estimated 5%.

ChangAn has implemented an innovative and flexible production system to lower manufacturing costs and efficiently build high-value vehicles. The welding workshop features 39 robots and advanced material-joining methods, including FDS, EPS, and SPR, delivering strength beyond traditional connection techniques. The painting workshop uses 29 robots and advanced spraying to extend paint life to 15 years and reduce emissions by 40%, while the assembly line features 140 stations, including 18 fully and 125 semi-automated units. Technologies such as automated seal adjustment and AGV vehicles allow for multi-model and multi-power production. The power workshop supports engine and battery production, including ultra-precise engine tile-matching and visual guidance across 22 battery processes. Forty-five AGVs create a flexible, responsive manufacturing and transport system.

As a digital-first factory, ChangAn employs a full-stack digital ecosystem with a microservice architecture for 100% online operations. The entire manufacturing process is scheduled in real time, improving supply chain coordination and reducing the order delivery cycle from 21 days to 15 days. The ChangAn Quality Operating System (CAQOS) ensures comprehensive quality management across supplier parts, vehicle production, and market services. During production, 77 surveillance cameras and 62 foolproof checkpoints are used, creating 71 quality containment processes to ensure end-to-end quality across parts, production, and market services.

Looking forward, ChangAn aims to localise 80% of production at its Rayong Factory, create 30,000 jobs, and support low-carbon growth and talent development for Thailand's green transition. Positioned as a hub for Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, ChangAn plans to exceed 5 million global and 3 million new energy vehicle sales by 2030. Over the next three years, it will launch 12 new energy models and expand AI features. A new Rayong parts centre will support right-hand drive markets with 24-hour delivery.

"After 556 days of dedication from over 2,000 employees and partners around the world, we have built a factory that is efficient, modern, and smart," said Shen Xinghua, Managing Director of ChangAn Automobile Southeast Asia Business Unit. "We are here for the long run. Together, we will help shape a cleaner, smarter, and stronger automotive future — In Thailand, For Thailand, and For the world."
