I wish I could say more about the Babysitter's side of the business, but I'm missing one vital ingredient, a baby. As for FasioNation, they have remained relative throughout the years. They buck the cheaply made, expensive, trends of the moment in favor of high quality consistency. FashioNation isn't the cheapest shop in town, but you truly get what you pay for. It's also a good place to go if you are looking for something, without knowing exactly what it is. On a semi related/unrelated topic, I bought some rather expensive platform boots with a real heel. They were meant for casual wear, clubbing, etc. At the time if was racing SuperSport on highly modified Honda F3 600. My daily driver was a Honda CBR 1100 Blackbird that would occasionally find it way onto the track. My track suit included a pair of Alpinestars boots. Armor aside, the platform boots outshined my Alpinestars simply because I could lock into my pegs using the heel. My coach would give a look of disappointment. While you could see the scuff marks when boots hit pavement, they held strong and never busted a stitch. My Blackbird was dubbed Hailey's Commet as when I took it to the ground with the pegs and muffler sparking, you could be sure I was wearing my FashiNation boots. A note on vinyal boots, they may look great, tucked away behind display glass, but one wrong steep and you will have a scratch for life. Some boots ship with a unibody soul. In my experience, they are primarily empty space. Flick the soul with your fingernail. If it sounds hollow, it probably is. My boot heels consist of visibly stacked blocs of rubber. If I needed another pair, i would go back to FashioNation. Their selection always surprises me. Definitely worth a look if you're anywhere near their shop. read more

Those who know me know I have an alternative style the way that I tend to dress. Nothing excites me more than I place with all the accessories I like to wear. Gothic style dark with a bold statement that's how I like to ride. FashionNation is a lovely goth store that contains everything I love from the spiked cuffs to the spiked chokers even shoes and clothing to match your style. The staff is very friendly. They let you look at the items in the case before buying. They have a wide selection sure go please just about any individual into that sorta thing. I'll definitely be back! read more

Incredible! What a great selection of alt clothes and accessories sold to you by a sincere and genuine team that takes the time to educate you and curate your experience. Yup, you can't find this gear anywhere else - ANYWHERE - with such attention to detail, quality and fun! read more

This is THE place for all your rockabilly/goth clothes. Yes, it's more expensive than hot topic but this isn't hot topic. It's a locally owned store and the inventory constantly rotates. I wish I could afford to shop here more often. We drop in from time to time to look and occasionally buy. The staff here are really nice and don't mind browsing at all. My daughter got 14 eye docs from here a few years back because I can't think of a better place for docs. This was her first pair ever and she loves them. They have an entire wall of options. The down side is they don't have kids clothes. They have toddlers and adults but I imagine it's hard to find kid sizes in this anyway. read more

Love this store I bought my first docs here which were the hello kitty ones the value is also 100% better then the actual stuff the sections are clear and the service here is the best read more

This is one of those stores that you drive by and go "hmm I wonder what they have ". So after a tip from a friend that they may have shoes I'd like I raced there at my earliest convenience only to my dismay that they were out of my size. But further shopping I found that they had a plethora of other shoe options that interested me. I haven't seen so many different styles of Dr. Martens in my life. The employee who assisted me was very courteous and friendly and invited me back to check out for new styles that come in. read more

Nicest staff, Helpful and Attentive. and a large, fun selection of attire for someone needing anything goth punk festival vibe. Even have a small selection of cute toddle shoes and clothes. Yes, they have mens shirts too!! Really nice people work here. read more

Recently purchased a pair of Demonia boots but the zipper was defective. Returned to the store within 48 hours to exchange for a new pair of boots only to be offered a "repair to the zipper" by the sales associates mom in the back of the store... I kid you not, this was a legitimate offer to rectify this situation in their eyes. Unless your "mom" is a bootmaker, which I doubt, no, offering to "fix" a pair of $140 boots is unacceptable. When I asked to get an exchange from the retailer (Demonia), the store manager told me it would take a few days to speak to a representative and there wasn't really a solution to the problem just "we will wait and see what they say". Obviously I was upset that I purchased a defective boot but I understand things happen and wasn't upset until the sales associates started to gaslight me saying "they tried to help me" and making me feel like I was the asshole for wanting a product to not be defective and not trusting someone's mom to fix it. I did receive a refund but on my way out the sales associate needed to chime in one last time saying "good luck buying them online, you'll probably suffer the same fate"... gee thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm sure Demonia would love to hear how little you value their merchandise seeing as how FashioNation sells a ton of these boots. I wonder if they're selling knockoffs or returns that are defective and have been "fixed by mom in the back"... They also have a very strict 14 day return policy and can't even guarantee that they can exchange without jumping through hoops and making YOU, the customer, feel like shit in the process. After this past year, I was looking forward to treating myself with a cool pair of boots and also wanted to support a local business. I have never in my life been treated so poorly by an entire staff claiming to be inclusive. Fuck this place. read more

FashioNation - Women's Clothing Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've been going to FashioNation for around 25 years. I'm not even sure how many pairs of steal toed Docs, Steel capped Undergrounds and other brands of boots I have bought here. Granted I don't buy Docs anymore because their quality is trash and they are super trendy, but there are plenty of other legit boots to buy at this iconic store. They've got boots, braces, all kinds of laces and colors. They carry a lot of clothing brands you'd have to order online and pay overseas shipping charges to get otherwise. The customer service is great and they make each customer feel welcome and special. Come support this Denver Institution because they are a diamond in the rough when it comes to quality products, great customer service and unique punk, skinhead, goth, rockabilly etc clothing and paraphernalia! read more

I had a nostalgic trip down memory lane when I brought my daughter here to look for some clothes and boots. She had a particular look in mind and I knew just where to bring her. I shopped at the old store on 13th way back in the day along with Imi Jimi but haven't been in years. Walking into the store was like stepping back into my youth and I almost got a little teary seeing another Mom there with her daughter shopping for boots. It felt like a Hallmark commercial or an SNL skit (in all the best ways) about introducing your kids to places that help them own their looks and be comfortable in who they are. My daughter got a pair of sky-high boots, a couple of tops and a spiked collar. The staff was super sweet to her and made her day treating her like a person instead of some weirdo 6th grader who wants to wear bizarre clothes. That's a pretty big deal for her these days. read more

They have a great mix of punk, mod, goth, metal, bondage, rockabilly items, I would've bought some Doc Martens if I needed any. read more

Incredible store. This is THE place. Family owned and operated, by the sweetest and most genuine folks. HUGE selection of clothes, shoes, accessories, random little knicky knacks, everything a goth babe or raver would possibly want or need. Their products are high in quality and value, and their pricing is fair and reasonable. Denver is SO LUCKY to have FashioNation. read more

FashioNation! One of my most favorite clothing stores ever! I have went here since the early 1990's. Fresh out of high school and into college! Back then they were located on 13th but since then they have now relocated to Broadway. The shop is as great as ever! There is a great selection of goth, punk and rockabilly clothing to select from. The ladies section is super cute with the blouses and skirts. FashioNation is best known for their wide, diverse selection of shoes. They have always been a great outlet for Doc Martens and that still holds true! I have bought many pairs of shoes in my day here and still have all those pairs of great shoes. The accessory section is as great as ever as well! Back when the place was on 13th, Babysitter's Nightmare was at a different entrance and I am not entirely sure if I ever went in there since I don't have children and don't plan to. Now Babysitter's Nightmare is located in the back room of the store where the accessories are and I got a good opportunity to look at this selection of merchandise well for the first time. The clothing is quite clever, fun and unique in it's logos for kids. Definitely not kids clothes that you find anywhere and is perfect if you know you will be having a punk, goth or glam child in your home. I bought a great crescent moon and bat sweater and some really cool rockabilly styled button down shirts. Yes, FashioNation still is amazing. This last visitation brought back very fond memories and obviously I will be back whenever I am in Denver without a single moment of hesitation. It is the last clothing store that is still around from back in those heyday 90's that I went to. Reminiscing can be fun, a bit bitter sweet but I have every intention of forging new memories with FashioNation! read more

I have been buying my boots from this store since I was a teenager in the 80's. I will continue until Paul Italiano sells the pair that will see me into the final fire. A Denver staple. Do you even KNOW Denver if you don't know this place? read more

Stopped by real quick on my trip and bought a dress and skirt. So many selections of clothes and shoes. I was helped out and taken care of by both of the cashiers. Thank you read more

This is one of my favorite places to shop! I come in often enough for the staff to recognize me and they're always so friendly. The prices are high, but absolutely worth it. So far, I've bought a belt, a pair of Demonias, and a couple smaller accessories, and they're all still in pretty great condition, even after a couple months of semi-frequent outdoor use. I bring my friends in all the time, either as return shoppers or to introduce them to the store! The only thing I wish they had was more funky unisex clothes, since most of the clothes are dresses or otherwise traditionally feminine styles, so some more extreme masculine or androgynous clothing options would be a cool addition to their stock read more

Paul, Ari and Sydney were an absolute blast to hang and talk with while shopping. Extremely helpful, and made us feel welcomed the whole time while being here. Fun store to just look at and be in even if it's not your style! So fun!! read more

I just bought my first pair of Doc Martens! The ladies at Fashion Nation were so helpful and made me feel comfortable. One of them (didn't catch names) offered a number of different options in styles and sizes and was so patient while I tried them all on. Ultimately I bought the traditional style but I now feel confident that it's the style and size I wanted. I couldn't have done that online. I am excited to return for some of their adorable clothes! Highly recommend! read more

Went over here for my first time to get a particular set of dr martens, got distracted by the large selection! The employees were very nice and I can tell they are a genuine, accepting family. Even though it was quite busy I noticed the young lady Pam (my receipt had her name i think) was still being very patient with everyone and making sure they had what they need. I really appreciate their help, super stoked about my new boots! read more

got my daughter her first pair of Doc Martens! I'll be back for another for myself. This place has a funky selection of clothes and an awesome selection of kicks. Now, if I can just get a pair of the Keith Haring in a men's 12, I'll be golden. :) read more

Visiting from out of town I'm always looking for a place that sells Dr. Martens. They had a pretty good selection and I was able to snag a very rare pair for myself. The 2 employees where super cool and I will be going back my next trip to Denver. read more

This place is great and owned by an awesome family. Their Docs selection is unparalleled. Their collective taste in fashion and music is on par with my own. The missus bought a pair of beautiful high heeled Docs that make her tower over me in all her Gothy awesomeness. She really digs them. When we come back through Denver this year we will be sure to stop in again. read more

obsessed. never been let down by this store ever, love the owners and their kiddos, felt very safe here :)

An incredible store that makes this world more bearable. The owner even invited me to make a button. If I lived in Denver, I would shop here always. read more

Love this place. First time in, excited and thrilled to see all the creepers and Docs lining the wall. Cool clothes, hair color, kids gear, all geared for freaks! The wall of fame had all the photos of the band members I grew up loving, that had visited the shop. That's worth checking out. Paul, the owner is the real deal, in the business for decades. He knows his stuff. I felt welcomed, just wanted to hang out. I did not buy anything because I was in a bit of a rush but will be back or check them out online. Paul knew about Daljeets in San Francisco and NANA shoes which took me back. The fact that Midge Ure has visited makes me all the more happy to visit them again. Thanks guys, keep it up! read more

Such an awesome shop!! Super cute stuff and Eri was so sweet!! She even let me make my own pen! Will be back soon with more money :)

Great unique baby and kid stuff! Especially good for the punk rock and rockabilly baby. read more

FashioNation - Babysitter's Nightmare - Women's Clothing Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This store is amazing !!! They have soooooo many different pretty and cute dresses. Lots of cute shoes, purses/bags, and more. Prices are reasonable, and the staff was fantastic. Friendly, helpful, and talkative. read more

Perfect place to find a baby present for the less precious parents. If you have a derby girl friend with a baby or toddler you will defintely find a unique outfit. There was a pretty good variety of both girls and boys clothes, a few bibs etc. I'm excited to go back! read more

Best shopping location ever. Been going here for over 20 years. Great rockabilly and goth rock clothing for guys, gals, kids and everyone in between. read more

The staff was so kind and there was a ton of gorgeous pieces but as a very petite person i was not able to find much in the way of clothing or shoes that fit me. i am not sure if that is an issue of smaller sizes just selling out quickly but it was quite disheartening to see that their clothing was not very size inclusive in my range but also the plus size range. definitely a store for straight sizes only. read more

Loved the clothes and these folks!!! Outstanding value and really fun time!!! Will be back again!!

This is such a cool boutique, if you're into goth, metal, rockabilly, punk or alternative...you're going to find something here that will lighten your wallet. Paul and Pam are very cool and accommodating, great customer service. Pay this shop a visit, you'll be glad you did...we were (even though our bank account wasn't)! read more

The staff is so nice the prices are not to bad and they have great bargains if you look. Awesome and unique in spite of moving to new digs still fantastic after all these years. read more

I came came into the store today wearing my work clothes and probably look like I didn't have much money and the staff was extremely helpful I didn't feel like I was being judged or that I was bothering them by asking help for getting some new creepers. This is the second time I've been to the store and this is the second time they've treated me this great if you're looking for great Punk or rockabilly clothes this is the place to be knowledgeable Carefree relaxed atmosphere you guys are awesome! read more

When people tell you to buy local they are talking about places like this. The prices here are reasonable and the staff is outstanding. I bought a new pair of Docs here over the weekend, and the people who helped me were extremely nice and never pushy. The experience is half of what makes this shop terrific. It is definitely a niche kind of clothing store, so if you are looking for the goth/punk/rockabilly style make sure you pay these guys a visit. It is most certainly a classic Denver institution. read more

Love everything in the store, especially the super cute baby and kid clothes. Excellent selection of unique, high quality, and organic clothes, hats, bibs, and shoes. Perfect gifts for your little rockers! read more

Cute, fun, alternative clothing store! Got some barrettes and a funky black lacy choker that was only $12. We'll be back!

I love this store! Always wanted to go in but, I could never really tell if they were open. Stopped by for a baby shower for a friend. They were very helpful and informative. Great rock and roll selection for girls and boys alike. read more
