Even Paris Hilton Is Sitting Out the Low-Rise Resurgence

[ Written on March 17 2022 by karina ]

Not that she ever really left the spotlight, but right now is an excellent time for Paris Hilton to be back under it. The hottest trends in fashion right now are the ones the celebrity heiress popularized as the preeminent style icon of the early 2000s. From velour tracksuits and oversized sunglasses, to low-rise jeans and mini skirts, the outfits she put together — without any help from a stylist — for club-hopping and trips to Kitson are now on everyone’s mood board.

Being the savvy businesswoman that she is, Hilton is of course capitalizing on her renewed sartorial relevance: Last Tuesday, she launched her own line of velour tracksuits that immediately sold out online. Then on Wednesday, she launched a range of 2000s-inspired sunglasses and prescription frames with Quay Australia. She celebrated the collaboration on Friday with a blowout party at a Beverly Hills estate, wearing an outfit that could’ve come straight out of her own early-2000s archives. The chainmail mini dress and choker seemed to reference her 21st-birthday dress, which has been copied by everyone (including Kendall Jenner) in the years since she first wore it. Hilton doesn’t mind, though.

“I think that’s the ultimate birthday dress,” she tells me during a phone interview ahead of the event. “Everyone should wear it on their birthday.”

I asked Hilton all about her outsized style influence, the early-aughts trends she will and will not be embracing the second time around, her predictions for what will be in style next, and what we can expect from the NFT aficionado’s fashion dealings in the metaverse. Read on for our interview.

What inspired you while working on this line with Quay? Do you have a favorite style?
I was really inspired just by my love of sunglasses. They’re my favorite accessory, so I really wanted to create a line that represented me and my favorite styles and also was inspired by the early 2000s. I love all of them but my favorites that I’ve literally been wearing every day are the black ones, ‘Total Vibe.’ I love the way they look, the way they feel, and you can wear them day and night. Also the pink ones, they’re so girly.

Throughout the fashion weeks we’ve seen the return of a lot of the early-2000s fashion trends that you popularized. The designer of Blumarine has even cited you as inspiration. How does it feel to be a reference or inspiration to big designers and brands right now?
It makes me feel really proud, I’ve always felt like I was ahead of my time in many ways and back then I didn’t even have a stylist. It was just me picking all my looks out, so just to see designers and people saying I’ve been an inspiration, it just makes me feel proud. I love fashion, especially brands like Blumarine, which I’ve always been a fan of. It’s always very flattering.

Have you seen any really good or interesting 2000s-inspired looks recently on a celebrity or influencer or anyone where you thought, ‘they nailed it’?
Anytime I see anyone in velour tracksuits, that just always reminds of me of me. I launched my tracksuit line yesterday because I wanted to make even more comfortable iconic velour tracksuits, which we sold out right away. That’s a look that I see all the time; even on Halloween, a lot of girls will wear that. Or ‘Simple Life’ style, like Von Dutch, that’s coming back now. And my 21st birthday dress — I’ve seen everyone wear it, so many people. There are so many reiterations of that dress.

Have you kept a lot of your clothes and accessories from that time and brought any of it back out?
Yeah I have. I keep a lot of my things just because I want to save them for my daughter one day. Those pieces are just so iconic that I love to keep them. Things I’ve taken out a lot are the Dior monogram — I love that logomania is back again — a lot of my Louis Vuitton purses, my big giant gold metallic ones, all my sparkly things, anything with lots of Swarovski crystals.

I also associate you with the low-rise denim craze. Do you remember why you loved that look or where you first saw it? Have you pulled any of those back out?
I remember Frankie B sent me these very low-rise jeans before ‘The Simple Life,’ then I started rocking them all the time. Then, I was the Guess girl for the Guess campaign, and I was rocking all of the low-rise skirts and the jeans. I embraced that look. It was definitely a look [laughs]. Now, I think the high-rise jeans are sexier and look chic.

So no more low-rise for you?
I’m more into the high waist now, I don’t know if I’d rock it again.

You seem to have a knack for predicting trends, what do you think will be popular or come back next?
I’m really into neon — neon pink and yellow and green and bright colors that really stand out — so that’s a trend I love that I think’s gonna be coming back, especially with music festival season coming up. Obviously velour tracksuits, they’re my uniform. That’s something that I love that will always be in fashion. With luxury loungewear, people love to be comfortable in something and then also be able to wear it out.

You’re also famously into NFTs — do you have any predictions for how NFTs might impact fashion in the coming years?
Definitely, I have my Paris World [metaverse] inside of [gaming platform] Roblox. I actually did the first-ever fashion week of the metaverse during New York Fashion Week. I’ve been designing digital wearables and building digital fashion brands and it’s really exciting what’s happening in the space.

There’s all these digital designers now and also the opportunity for brands to come into the metaverse and make products, like Gucci has and lots of other big brands are trying to come in and do the same thing. I just think a lot of people are going to be in the metaverse and with your avatar, you want to be able to dress them up a certain way since that’s your online persona. So the opportunities are truly endless when it comes to that and it’s just a really exciting thing to be a part of.

Anything else on going on in Paris World?
I’m so excited about this collaboration with Quay and I can’t wait to see everyone rocking them. I’m also getting ready to release my 30th perfume.

That’s Hot! Paris Hilton Shares a Sneak Peek at Her New Tracksuit Line

[ Written on March 17 2022 by karina ]

If you’re a fan of The Simple Life, you’ll recall that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie spent much of their time on the reality show rocking Juicy Couture tracksuits in every shade of the rainbow. For instance, in season three, they rode around the nation as interns on a Greyhound bus wearing cozy, colorful sweats in bright pink or green. But Hilton’s love of tracksuits didn’t end in the early-aughts, when the show aired. Since then, she has continued to sport her signature tracksuits, even telling Vogue in 2019 that she still has an entire closet devoted to her Juicy Couture collection. It’s only natural, then, that Hilton is getting into the tracksuit market herself. This week, she announced she’s designing her own line of them, and Vogue has an exclusive sneak peek at the designs.

The decision to design her own assortment of tracksuits—which will be released in June—has been a long time coming. “It’s always been something I’ve been interested in creating,” she tells Vogue. “They’ve been my go-to since before I could remember.” Why is she such a fan of the athleisure look? “They’re comfortable and chic, and can make you feel glamorous while still being super fun and casual,” says Hilton. She’s certainly not wrong. Simply add an It bag or shoe, you have an on-trend Y2K look. “I love pairing my tracksuits with some statement jewelry and heels,” says Hilton. “The right accessories can switch up the whole vibe by dressing it up or down.”

While it’s hard to imagine Hilton in a tracksuit that isn’t Juicy, she says her own designs will be unique to her. Expect them to be girly and a tad over-the-top. In new photos of Hilton in the clothes, we get a glimpse at what’s to come. One cropped hoodie, in black and pink, features her catchphrase—“That’s hot”—in rhinestones. Another bright-red tracksuit has star cutouts on the leg. Bold colors will be a through line in the collection. “Pink is one of my favorite colors and I wear it as much as possible, but I spent a lot of time choosing the best colors and shades in the softest velour,” says Hilton.

If you’re looking to get your hands on Hilton’s tracksuits, you’ll have to wait until June, when they will be available on her own website. Select, to-be-announced retailers will start carrying them in September. Prices start at $95 for velour pants, to $115 for the blingy hoodies. Hilton assures that, no matter one’s taste, “there’s a tracksuit style for every occasion.” She considers it worth the investment. “The tracksuit is a forever wardrobe staple because it’s elevated comfort that you can wear anywhere,” she says. “You can wear it while shopping, or at home.” Loves it.

Paris Hilton and Cardano Founder Fund Efforts to Resurrect Mammoths

[ Written on March 17 2022 by karina ]

Paris Hilton and Charles Hoskinson, founder and leader of Cardano (ADA), have invested in Colossal. It is a startup that aims to resurrect the Mammoth. The prehistoric animal is long dead, however DNA still exists, which makes the idea of bringing the giant creature back to life tantalizingly possible.

Paris Hilton, Hoskinson, and the Mammoth
Created in 2021 by Harvard Medical School professor George Church and businessman Ben Lamm, Colossal is a biotech startup that aims to bring the mammoth, the last recorded species of mammoth, back to life.

In addition to trying to recreate the animal, which became extinct around 10,000 B.C, the company has other conservation projects for species that are currently in danger of extinction, such as the white rhinoceros.

Bringing mammoths to life
According to Colossal, woolly mammoths could be inhabiting our planet as early as 2027. This would be possible thanks to the work of Church, who has been studying ways to bring the animal back to life for 10 years.

The startup is working on a mammoth embryo, made from DNA samples recovered from fossils. In this way, thanks to advances in genetic medicine and technology, it may be possible to resurrect a species that has been extinct for millennia.

Charles Hoskinson invests in the project
The Cardano founder participated in a colossal investment round led by Legendary Entertainment CEO Thomas Tull. Other investors and equity firms also attended the event, including socialite Paris Hilton. Hilton herself is responsible for multiple initiatives in the crypto market.

In total, the company managed to raise 60 million dollars, which will be used for research and carrying out its activities, including the attempt to reproduce mammoths.

Hoskinson did not say how much of his capital he decided to invest in the startup, but he did highlight that blockchain could help Colossal achieve its goals. The technology, according to him, could help the company to capitalize even more resources and be a source of registration of intellectual property of the projects that are being promoted.

A huge crypto enthusiast, Hoskinson is known for always seizing opportunities to promote Cardano.
