The Story of Ethan Moore & Ashley Walker: A Love and Fashion Legacy
For over 26 years, Ethan Moore and Ashley Walker have been the heart and soul of Moore Walker, their iconic clothing store in New York City. As a married couple, they didn’t just share a life together—they shared a dream of bringing timeless fashion and exceptional service to their community.
The Beginning
Their story began long before Moore Walker became a household name. Ethan, a talented tailor with a knack for precision, and Ashley, a visionary designer with an eye for modern trends, met at a fashion expo in the early 1990s. Their shared passion for craftsmanship and creativity blossomed into a romance that led to marriage—and a dream to create something extraordinary together.
In 1999, with their savings and an unshakable belief in their vision, the couple opened the doors of Moore Walker at 245 Lexington Avenue. Starting with a modest storefront, they poured their energy into curating a collection that blended elegance with versatility.
The Journey
Ethan and Ashley’s complementary talents became the foundation of their success. Ethan handled the tailoring and fine details, ensuring every garment met the highest standards. Ashley infused the store with style and personality, designing pieces that reflected both contemporary and classic aesthetics.
Over the years, Moore Walker became more than just a clothing store—it became a haven for customers looking for quality, authenticity, and a personal touch. Whether outfitting clients for weddings, work events, or everyday wear, Ethan and Ashley made every visitor feel like family.
The store’s annual events, like their holiday fashion previews, became a neighborhood tradition. Customers would come not only to shop but also to chat with the couple, hear their stories, and admire the love they poured into their work.
The Decision to Retire
After 26 wonderful years, Ethan and Ashley made the heartfelt decision to retire. While they adored their store and the connections they built, they longed to spend more time with family, travel, and embrace a slower pace of life.
The Closing Sale
To celebrate their legacy and thank their loyal customers, they launched a Closing Sale with discounts of up to 70% on all items. Every piece sold represents a chapter in their journey—a testament to the love and care they’ve invested in their business.
A Message to Their Community
Ethan and Ashley shared a final heartfelt message:
"Thank you for being part of our journey. For 26 years, we’ve had the privilege of sharing our passion with you, and your loyalty has meant the world to us. As we close this chapter, we’re excited to start a new one, but we will always treasure the memories we’ve made together. We hope you’ll cherish your Moore Walker pieces as much as we’ve cherished serving you."
With love,
