In September of 2000, David photographed Paris and her sister Nicky in a NSFW photoshoot for Vanity Fair. Since that infamous shoot (and a certain sex tape), Paris was a starlet that no one could avoid. 

 David told The Guardian, “Paris had a charisma back then that you couldn’t take your eyes off. She would giggle and laugh and be effervescent and take up a room. She was desperate to be in my photographs and one day we needed her for a jeans shoot.”  

He explained that the model hired for the jeans shoot couldn’t fit into the sample size provided, so it was up to Paris to fill the position. “She came over, she hadn’t been home for, like, three days, but she looked incredible,” he recalled. “You never saw that girl looking messed up.”
