Debenhams in the Desert: A Poolside Paradise During Coachella
As the desert heat rose during Coachella weekend, Debenhams made a splash —literally — with their dazzling “Debenhams in the Deser”t poolside party, produced and designed by The Wife of the Party. Set against the golden backdrop of the Indio sun, the activation brought together influencers, creators, and trendsetters for an unforgettable experience filled with fun details and top-tier branding.
The pool became a branded oasis, with Tiffany-blue floats and floating letters spelling out Debenhams in the Desert, shimmering across the water. Oversized standing letters made for the perfect Instagrammable moment, while giant metallic orbs adorned with Debenhams' logo sparkled around the alfresco lounge, amplifying the party’s bold visual impact.
The thoughtful details extended beyond the pool. Guests staying onsite were welcomed with curated canvas totes filled with cozy pajamas and exclusive gifts from the Nasty Gal x Debenhams collections. In the glam stations, Bumble and bumble hair products were artfully displayed against a teal glittering backdrop, complete with disco balls. White, fringed umbrellas stamped with teal Debenhams logos offered shade and photo-ready vibes throughout the afternoon.




Cute arrowed signage guided guests to discover various corners of the experience, including the Debenhams pop-up shop featuring cult-favorite brands like Urban Decay, Nasty Gal, and Warehouse. Whether relaxing poolside or exploring activations, attendees were treated to a chic, immersive brand moment from every angle.
Debenhams in the Desert wasn’t just a party — it was a vibrant celebration of fashion, fun, and festival-season flair, all brought to life by the keen eye and playful elegance of The Wife of the Party. With every glittering float and branded sun umbrella, Debenhams cemented their place as a go-to name for style that shines, even under the desert sun.
