About ECOLUXE Luxury Lounge

Debbie Durkin’s ECOLUXE pre-Oscars Luxury Lounge celebrates the Film’s biggest night, the Oscars, to benefit Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue non-profit, which represents a significant shift in how pre-awards events are conceptualized and executed. By seamlessly blending luxury experiences with purposeful brands and philanthropic initiatives, the event sets a new standard for meaningful celebrity engagements. It demonstrates that star power can be harnessed not just for entertainment, but as a force for positive change and awareness. The diverse gathering underscored the event’s unique ability to bridge different worlds under the banner of wellness and social responsibility. At the heart of our ECOLUXE experience, there is always a carefully curated selection of brands that align with the event’s ethos of sustainability, purposeful living, and uplifting brands who make products that make peoples’ and pets’ lives better. As the entertainment industry increasingly prioritizes social responsibility and sustainability, events like our ECOLUXE LOUNGE serve as important catalysts for change. We provide a platform where influential figures can engage with eco-friendly brands and causes, potentially sparking trends that ripple through their vast networks of fans and followers.  For more information, please visit:  Instagram/TikTok: @producerdeb
