HEYDUDE Unveils New 'Fashion Crisis Hotline' Campaign with Global Brand Ambassador, Sydney Sweeney, to Save Style Emergencies Everywhere

The New Campaign Showcases the Austin Lift silhouette as the Ultimate Fashion Solution for All-Day Comfort, Underscoring That "Beauty is Comfort"

WESTWOOD, Mass., March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HEYDUDE, an unconventionally casual footwear brand that blends individual style and lightweight comfort into every pair of shoes, is again teaming up with actress, producer and style icon Sydney Sweeney to solve consumer's fashion emergencies with today's launch of the Fashion Crisis Hotline campaign.

As the brand's Global Ambassador, Sweeney serves as the face of this new campaign, which challenges the notion that fashion and comfort can't coexist. The "Fashion Crisis Hotline" introduces the Austin Lift, HEYDUDE's most popular slip-on mule, as the go-to fashion solution for all-day comfort without compromising style. The Fashion Crisis Hotline brings a playful, comedic twist to style and comfort dilemmas through short bits, with Sweeney leading as role of "Director of Dude," offering Austin Lifts as the solution to any fashion crisis.

"We're thrilled to see the continued impact of HEYDUDE's partnership with Sydney, reaching new consumers through her authenticity and undeniable confidence. The Fashion Crisis Hotline is a pivotal moment for HEYDUDE that brings our brand DNA of confidence, fun and style to life at once, redefining what it means to be a 'dude,'" said Paul Nugent, CMO, HEYDUDE. "HEYDUDE is a leader in comfort and confidence, and together with Sydney, we're excited to show consumers exactly why we are unlike anything in the market."

The campaign serves as a milestone moment that speaks directly to a new, female consumer audience, reinvigorating what it means to be a 'dude'. With laceless shoes rising in popularity and garnering vast consumer attention, this campaign uniquely puts HEYDUDE and the slip-on Austin Lift at the forefront as a trend-first industry disruptor leading the charge in style, comfort and design.

This launch sets the stage for a dynamic, multi-pronged campaign that will activate across digital, social media platforms and streaming services. The Fashion Crisis Hotline reinforces to consumers that HEYDUDE is the solution to help anyone be uniquely themselves and undeniably confident.

To build consumer excitement and jumpstart the 360-degree campaign, HEYDUDE kicked off with a one-of-a-kind pop-up event at Grand Central Station in New York City. The buzzworthy activation brought the Fashion Crisis Hotline to life, allowing thousands of consumers to experience a life-size Austin Lift and pink phone inspired from the campaign where attendees were able to leave voicemails asking for fashion advice.
