Elyse Walker on Rebuilding After the Palisades Fire, Resilience, and the State of Fashion Retail

In today’s episode of Let’s Get Dressed, I sat down with the iconic Elyse Walker - someone who has shaped LA’s fashion landscape for decades with her namesake retail store in the Palisades. With stores now across the country, Elyse shares key lessons from her 20-year journey, like how to build lasting relationships with customers and brands, what it takes to lead through the changing retail market, and how she's honed her eye to know what sells. We also talk about the heartbreaking loss of her beloved Palisades store in the Palisades Fire, her recent announcement to reopen in 2026 alongside Rick Caruso, and the power of community in helping her rebuild.
