Paris Hilton Fronts New Karl Lagerfeld Ad Campaign

Drawing a parallel between how the late designer and Hilton both shaped pop culture on their own terms, the black and white images display an image that melds Hilton and the Maison in an elegant and witty visual while exploring themes of glamour, individuality, and sophistication.

Captured by fashion photographer Chris Colls, who returns for the third consecutive campaign, the imagery aims to evoke the Karl Lagerfeld house codes. In charming videos, the digital campaign will include a fresh reinterpretation of Karl Interviews Karl (the tongue-in-cheek video series where Karl Lagerfeld interviewed himself) that adds a touch of comedy and wonder that references Lagerfeld's famous wit as well as various social media moments. The FW25 360 campaign will roll out across out-of-home, print, social, digital platforms and key pop-ups globally, accented in a late-night event starring Hilton during Paris Fashion Week on October 1st, 2025. ⁘Paris is both a global icon and a businesswoman—someone who understands the cultural power of image and reinvention. She and Karl have each defined eras in their own distinct ways. This collaboration captures a dynamic that feels both unexpected and entirely authentic—a dialogue between enduring influence and ever-evolving relevance,⁘ said Righi in a brand statement.

⁘Karl was a true original—bold, iconic, and always ahead of his time. I've always admired his rebellious spirit. To be part of Karl's world, especially in this campaign, which celebrates individuality and playfulness, feels like such a natural fit. From Paris With Love... It's an honor to be part of his legacy in a way that feels true to who I am,⁘ said Hilton in a release.

The campaign combines Karl Lagerfeld's universe to include women's, denim, and men's. The latter is fronted by internationally known Spanish model and actor Jon Kortajarena, who also knew the late designer. The collection will also feature a 1980s hand-drawn initial motif, the K/ Autograph, which appears as a motif throughout the collection.
