Vogue World: Hollywood Raises Millions for Crew After L.A. Wildfires

Vogue World: Hollywood (Oct. 26, 2025) combined runway spectacle with fundraising, raising several million dollars for costume designers and crew affected by recent Los Angeles wildfires. The event—staged on a Paramount lot—paired film homage and high fashion, drawing A-list attendees and producers who used the platform to spotlight the “below-the-line” workers whose livelihoods can be devastated by natural disasters. Organizers emphasized direct relief: grants for displaced wardrobe departments, cash assistance for freelance artisans, and a short-term fund for lost equipment.

Hollywood observers noted the dual PR and solidarity function of the event: celebrities and studios demonstrate social responsibility while reinforcing industry networks. The fundraiser also highlighted a recurring theme in modern Hollywood philanthropy—using high-glamour events to channel support to specialized industry roles often invisible to mainstream coverage. For crew members, the cash infusion is an immediate help; for the industry at large, the event reinforced the message that large gatherings can be both brand moments and meaningful relief channels when structured with transparent distribution plans.
