Meet The Founder
LAUREN PARRISH WALKER
Lauren Parrish Walker founded her brand as a way to honor her mother, who passed away from breast cancer. “The brand is now a dedication to her and my family as they have always been my fashion muses,” she says. The brand launched as a capsule of sweaters in 2019 and continues to be focused around extraordinary, essential basics.
Parris Walker is a seasoned apparel executive (she’s also the chief product officer at Rachel Zoe Inc.) and prior to launching Parris LA, she also helmed Brochu Walker, another luxury knitwear brand. “I was missing the success of that, when a friend approached me about launching a new brand.”
Parris Walker’s proudest moment? Having someone come up to her to ask if she was wearing a Parris L.A. sweater (she was, of course). “She said, ‘that is my favorite brand, I own so many pieces.’ When I said that I was the owner she thanked me and hugged me!”
