A First Experience in Fashion Denver
by Kierra Barnes
A hardened fashion lover and deal seeker, you’ve been hearing so much buzz about a small boutique in the heart of Denver, and decide to see just what the buzz is all about. A one-door shop on the corner of Bannock St. beckons for you to come experience what’s been hidden in Denver’s golden triangle and as you step through the threshold onto the lacquered coffee brown floor, the scent of home and designer fashion fills your nostrils to full occupancy. Noticing the couches screaming “comfort!” , artistic paintings echoing “sophistication”, and quirky accents jumping through each section of the showroom, you spend time perusing through the walls before laying eyes on the racks of outfits and unique clothing held and separated by their respective designers. Shuffling through the hangers, fabrics in every form seem to slip through your fingertips with each grasp. The softer, the bolder, and the more cutting-edge they are the more you rush to grab hold of them before someone else finds your treasures.

We love CRAVE!
Last year we learned about a company called CRAVE, dedicated to connecting women through their nationwide set of books showcasing female entrepreneurs. We happily joined the CRAVE Community by being part of the CRAVE Denver book. This book is filled with all kinds of wonderful businesses across the Denver / metro area. From boutiques to cake shops to self defense classes, there is a plethora of businesses in this book and it truly is an urban guide to the city.
Every month CRAVE businesses gather at different CRAVE businesses for a night of connecting and supporting. This past Wednesday, we hosted the event and what a wonderful time it was. We met so many wonderful, driven, passionate women!
You can buy a CRAVE Denver book at Fashion Denver for $19.95!
