Walkers of Pottergate (link opens in new window)

Description:

Walkers was set up in the early nineties by Anne Rowe (no formal fashion experience, but bags of mis-placed theories and heartfelt enthusiasm!). European travels, particularly Germany, proved that there were some amazingly creative designers, dressing woman in an extraordinary stylish way.... and this somewhat artistic styling seemed not to be present in the UK at the time. Using asymetric lines, crumpled fabrics and somewhat bizzare styling ideas, mixed up with luxury yarns, subtle colours and a leap of faith....we went where no other shop (that we knew of) dared to go! Raised eyebrows from the established retailers and fashion writers proved we had touched a nerve, and buying from instinct rather than format, meant we could experiment to our hearts content! It seemed that the crazier styles flew out the door, and our 'safer' choices hardly moved. So our ethos was formed. Based in the city of Norwich and enjoying the areas historic cobbled streets, Walkers continues growing right up to 2006! Always looking for new labels, trying to push boundaries, and to keep on the edge of creativity, proves to be a lifelong challenge!
