Quince x Erin Walsh: A Capsule Rooted in Intention
Erin Walsh is one of those rare figures in fashion whose influence quietly shapes the way we see style, without ever needing to shout. Based in Los Angeles, she has spent decades building a career that bridges red carpet glamour, editorial storytelling, and deeply personal expression. As a stylist and creative director, her work spans some of the most iconic moments in modern fashion, dressing women like Sarah Jessica Parker, Kerry Washington, Anne Hathaway, and Ashley Park, while also shaping visual narratives for brands and publications including Vogue, Neiman Marcus, and Bulgari.
But Erin’s impact goes far beyond beautiful clothes.
After years of insider access to the fashion industry, she channeled her experience and relationships into something more meaningful, co-founding SBJCT: Journal, an activism-driven creative platform spotlighting extraordinary individuals and forward-thinking partners. At its core, her work has always been about asking deeper questions. How do we dress with purpose? How do our clothes reflect how we feel, what we value, and who we are becoming?
Erin Walsh is a visionary who has transformed a lifelong love of fashion into a broader lifestyle philosophy, one rooted in intentionality, self-awareness, and emotional connection to what we wear. Her approach blends trend and tradition effortlessly, not to impress, but to empower, encouraging women to use clothing as a tool for self-expression rather than consumption.
This philosophy continues to expand with her upcoming book, The Art of Intentional Dressing, releasing May 5, 2026, which explores our relationship with clothing and the stories we tell through what we choose to wear. It’s a reflection I’m personally excited to dive into, and one that feels incredibly aligned with the way many of us are rethinking our wardrobes today.
That same ethos is beautifully translated into her latest collaboration with Quince. The Quince x Erin Walsh capsule is thoughtful, refined, and designed to live with you, pieces that feel grounded, versatile, and quietly powerful. Nothing is extraneous. Everything has a reason.
Styling My Personal Favorites from Erin Walsh’s Capsule
Below are the pieces I personally gravitated toward from the capsule and why they feel like true wardrobe foundations. Each one fits seamlessly into a simplified, intentional closet, especially this time of year when getting dressed should feel easy and grounded.
I’ve partnered with Quince multiple times, largely because their approach aligns with how I actually build my wardrobe. Some of my most-worn basics already come from Quince, and this capsule feels like a natural extension of that approach to dressing.

More from Erin’s Styling Eye
Beyond the pieces I styled personally, I was equally drawn to how Erin approached the Quince capsule as a whole. Her styling feels intuitive and lived-in, never overworked, and always grounded in real life.
What stands out most is the balance. Softness paired with structure, simplicity layered with intention. These looks feel easy, but considered, designed to move through a day rather than exist for a single moment.
A few of Erin’s styled looks, they offer context and inspiration, showing just how versatile these pieces can be when mixed, layered, and worn with confidence! It’s a reminder that a strong capsule isn’t about having more, but about seeing more possibilities within what you already own.
Final Thoughts
What makes this capsule resonate is not just how the pieces look, but how they fit into real life. Everything feels wearable, repeatable, and thoughtfully designed, the kind of clothing that supports your day rather than competes with it.
Erin Walsh’s approach to intentional dressing is felt throughout this collaboration. The silhouettes are simple but considered, the materials feel purposeful, and the styling encourages ease over excess. It’s a reminder that a well-built wardrobe doesn’t rely on constant newness, but on pieces that work together and evolve with you.
This time of year naturally calls for clarity and simplification. Fewer decisions, stronger foundations, and clothes that make getting dressed feel intuitive again. This capsule aligns with that mindset perfectly, offering versatile essentials that can be worn now, layered differently later, and carried seamlessly into the seasons ahead.
For me, this collaboration reflects why I continue to partner with Quince. The balance of quality, accessibility, and timeless design makes it possible to build a wardrobe with intention, without compromising on style or practicality.
If you’re entering the year looking to refine rather than replace, to build thoughtfully rather than impulsively, this capsule is a beautiful place to start!
