Boise Fashion Week’s Winter at the Warehouse: A Successful Coat Drive & Community Celebration

Boise Fashion Week's Winter at the Warehouse was a hit! With over ten vendors coming out to support this coat drive—including our friends at Face Foundrie in Boise, Radiant Waxing, Dry Bar Boise and food and drinks from The Stil, Tito’s Vodka, and various other eateries and bars at the Warehouse. This event was not only a success but also a blast to attend while supporting an important cause.

The Boise Fashion Week team hosted Winter at the Warehouse at the Warehouse Food Hall, where Natalie Soma performed live music for all attendees. Guests enjoyed the music while sampling food and drinks from several delicious venues like Camp Cocktail, which brought a taste of the outdoors right into the glass in your hand. Mazzah Mediterranean offered some scratch-made Mediterranean dishes, and Caffé D'arte served up the perfect pick-me-up while guests explored the event! The event was lively, and its purpose was to raise awareness and give back to the community by collecting coats and gloves for the Ada School District.

Boise Fashion Week donated the collected coats and gloves to the Boise School District, with an outstanding total of 100 coats and three boxes of gloves. Winter in Idaho can be intense, and since fashion is our forte, we wanted to ensure that everyone in need had a warm winter coat to get them through the snow our beautiful state has to offer. These small acts of kindness are the kinds of things that can leave a lasting impact, showing that we can come together not only for fun fashion but also to make a meaningful difference.

We deeply appreciate our dynamic and growing community in Boise and take pride in giving back while making a meaningful impact. Boise Fashion Week is more than a showcase of style and trends—it’s a platform for positive change. Beyond highlighting fashion, we use it as a force to uplift those in need, offer support, and cultivate a sense of connection and compassion. Through this event, we aim to inspire others to contribute to our community’s well-being and help build a stronger, more inclusive Boise for all.
