Veteran producer Debbie Durkin once again set the stage for an unforgettable experience, hosting her 18th annual ECOLUXE Luxury Lounge at a private estate in the heart of Beverly Hills on February 28th. This event seamlessly blended red-carpet glamour with philanthropy, all in support of firefighters, victims of the LA fires, and Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue Ranch, a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Timed perfectly to coincide with Hollywood’s most dazzling awards weekend, the event was an immersive showcase of innovation and sustainability. Guests were treated to an array of hand-selected lifestyle activations, highlighting emerging beauty and wellness brands, must-visit travel destinations, and cutting-edge sustainable products. Adding to the excitement, the “Creating New Memories" Heroes & Survivors Portraits, led by celebrity photographer David Christopher Lee, offered guests a unique opportunity to commemorate their experience.
Culinary excellence was at the forefront, with Chef Denise Smith presenting an array of creations. Her menu artfully combined gourmet flavors with sustainable ingredients. No lounge is complete without exceptional spirits, and Reserva De La Torre Tequila allowed attendees to enjoy handcrafted cocktails that complemented the day's festivities.
Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue Ranch brought an extra dose of joy to the lounge with puppies available for adoption with guests having the opportunity to interact with these adorable canines. This initiative not only raised awareness about pet adoption but also provided some attendees with new furry family members.
A fusion of purpose, and entertainment, the 18th annual ECOLUXE Luxury Lounge reaffirmed its place as an essential stop on Hollywood’s awards season circuit.
In attendance were:
Esai Morales (Actor, Mission Impossible, Bad Boys, La Bamba)
Lee Broda (Oscar Nominee, producer, actress, author)
Kate Flannery (Actress, The Office, Night Court)
Toks Olagundoye (Actress, FRASIER, Arcane on Netflix)
