Elyse Walker the stylist-slash-mathematician began her retail entrepreneur career in New York. As she opens her second New York City store on Madison Avenue months.
“Few people know this, but I actually opened up my first store, Capretto, on the Upper East Side in 1987, and our new Madison store is just a few blocks away,” Walker said, adding, “I am a New Yorker, born and raised in Scarsdale, NY, so I always knew that I wanted to come back and open not one, but two stores which is a dream come true.”
Elysewalker Madison was a store ten years in the making, while Walker sought the perfect spot. Situated between 73rd and 74th, the store resides at today’s UES epicenter, near The Mark Hotel, The Carlyle, and Sant Ambroeus. The space will cater to Manhattan clients’ social lives, a distinction over its West Coast clientele.
“In styling our New York client for years, we know that our customers have many social obligations and events, so we designed the store specifically to showcase a beautiful evening offering with gowns and evening accessories, which some of the west coast stores don’t have the space for,”.
