Lele Pons, Alice + Olivia and Airbnb Collaborate on Capsule Collection to Celebrate World Humanitarian Day

To celebrate World Humanitarian Day on Saturday, Lele Pons and Alice + Olivia are collaborating with Airbnb to commemorate the upcoming holiday in an impactful way. The viral YouTuber, actress and singer collaborated with both brands to create a three-piece capsule collection with the goal of raising money for refugees and other people impacted by large-scale crisis.

The collection aligns with Airbnb’s mission to provide emergency stays to over 200,000 refugees from across the world, including Ukraine, Afghanistan and Venezuela, which is Pons’ home country. “My parents and I fled Venezuela when I was five years old, which is why I am deeply inspired by Airbnb.org’s work with refugees and people who are looking for a better life,” Pons, who has amassed more than 54 million followers on Instagram, said in a press release. “When you’re fleeing unimaginable circumstances, having a welcoming place to stay, even for a short time, is so important. I am very excited to collaborate with Alice + Olivia and working with Stacey Bendet to design the capsule collection.” Lele Pons in the Willa placket top
