Awards season after awards season, Debbie Durkin (Hollywood’s undisputed leader in eco-glam celebrity gifting) puts on high profile influencer marketing events for lifestyle brands. On Friday, the sustainable gifting guru orchestrated her annual EcoLuxe Lounge in celebration of the Oscars at The Beverly Hilton. Featuring droolworthy gifts and eats, the lounge provided a sophisticated space for stars to toast to the Oscars.
The 10th annual pre-Oscar EcoLuxe Lounge honored the 2017 Academy Award nominees while supporting Autism Changes (whose mission is to bring compassion, inclusion, and acceptance to worldwide autism communities). At the lounge, big names like Adrienne Bailon, Orange Is The New Black star Alysia Reiner, Casper Smart, and Karina Smirnoff were pampered with gifts and got to enjoy an impressive 5-star, farm-to-table European brunch curated by Beverly Hilton’s Chef Alberico, served on RePurpose Compostables plant-based flatware.
The gifts at EcoLuxe Lounge were nothing short of magnificent. First off, stars received a $200.00 gift card for meal delivery service from The Nutrition Chef, Alex Fioroni. The Oscar Nominees also received resort stays from the Jamaican Tourist Board, complimented by certified Coffee Roasters 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee. Ziggy Marley Chef Leonie McDonald of Strictly Vegan Jamaican also served mouthwatering vegan wraps and pineapple/ginger juice for the stars looking for a tasty snack.
The celebrities had a blast sipping on Piper-Sonoma champagne while browsing the gifts. After getting styled up in the OC Makeup And Beauty Bar, the star guests also had the opportunity to learn more about Barrett Plastic Surgery. Celebrities also loved trying on the classic faux fur fashions by Dena Burton Collections, presented in a fashion showroom styled by Diamond Interiors LA. Chariot Travelware also presented stars with their custom-designed luxury luggage, a true favorite in Hollywood.
After browsing the many gifts, the big name attendees also got to relax in extraordinary all-natural beds by Hästens Los Angeles and some stars were gifted with select stays at the Nordic Light Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden. Other sponsors included Nomad Cosmetics, Beauty Kitchen by TV Host Heather Marianna, Hollywood Makeup, Anchor Almond Butter Toffee (made in Rhode Island), and John Paul Pet.
Once again, Debbie Durkin’s EcoLuxe Lounge provided the perfect space for must-have lifestyle brands to network with the stars. If you are looking for a way to connect your company to the prestige of the Academy Awards, make sure to snag a coveted sponsorship spot at next year’s EcoLuxe Lounge in celebration of the Oscars. This will bring invaluable influencer marketing and publicity opportunities for your brand.
