A Night of Fashion, a Mission of Healing: Darash Ahava Foundation at Scottsdale Fashion Week Opening Night

The Darash Ahava Foundation took part in the opening night of Scottsdale Fashion Week 2025, held at Elysium, the newest flagship estate by Valley developer Modern Masterpieces. The evening's fashion show, Fashion Through The Decades, was sponsored by the Phoenix Suns and produced in collaboration with Old Town Scottsdale vintage boutique Fashion by Robert Black, celebrating couture from the swinging '60s through the 2000s.

Darash Ahava and Modern Masterpieces, the builder of Elysium, co-sponsored the evening, and the Foundation hosted a large booth where guests could learn about its emotional-healing mission. The Foundation accepted donations throughout the night and raised funds to support its programs. Darash Ahava was not the event's primary sponsor, and proceeds from the evening as a whole did not go to the Foundation.

For an organization whose mission is to bring healing into the places where people already gather, a night that drew Scottsdale's philanthropic and business communities was a natural fit.

"We want healing to show up everywhere people already are," said Foundation president David Widerhorn. "An evening like this lets us introduce our work to people who can help us reach a child who has never had access to any form of emotional support."

Moments like this are made possible by the generosity of donors, sponsors, and partners who believe in our healing mission.
