cabi Brings Celebrity Stylist Erin Walsh and the Art of Intentional Dressing to 2,000+ Women at cabi Fashion Week

Walsh challenged cabi Stylists to see getting dressed—and the work they do—as a daily practice of authenticity, confidence, and connection

ANAHEIM, CA, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — cabi, the purpose-driven women’s fashion brand redefining personal styling through its independent Stylist community, is bringing new energy to the conversation around personal style following cabi Fashion Week, which was held July 24–25 in Anaheim, California. Celebrity stylist, creative director, and bestselling author Erin Walsh joined more than 2,000 cabi Stylists from across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. for a powerful conversation about dressing with intention, the relationship between style and self-perception, and the meaningful role Stylists play in helping women feel seen, confident, and fully themselves.

Walsh, whose client list includes Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, and Mariska Hargitay, among others, built her career on a single belief: that a closet is not just a collection of clothes, but a portal of possibilities, a daily choice about who a woman wants to be and how she wants to feel. That philosophy is the foundation of her national bestseller, “The Art of Intentional Dressing” (HarperOne, May 2026), and of her signature C.R.E.A.T.E method, which she developed to help women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through what they wear.

Bringing Walsh to the cabi Fashion Week stage reflected a shared belief that personal style is about more than getting dressed. For nearly 25 years, cabi has built its business around helping women feel confident through one-on-one relationships with independent Stylists. Like cabi, Walsh believes that what you wear can shape how you feel, and that style is most powerful when it’s personal. It’s a perspective that resonated with the cabi community and made her a fitting voice for this year’s event.

“When you disconnect from yourself, you are not being authentic to yourself,” Walsh told the audience. In one of the session’s most provocative moments, she challenged the instinct to disappear inside the familiar: “Comfortable is a word people use to not be seen.”

That invitation to be seen carried through a session focused not only on clothing, but on identity, purpose, and the power of the conversations women have with themselves and one another. Walsh brought the ideas behind her book off the page through personal reflection, practical guidance, and a live exploration of dressing for a feeling rather than an occasion.

The message found particular resonance among cabi Stylists, whose work is rooted in personal relationships with women. Through in-home styling sessions, private appointments, and virtual styling experiences, Stylists help clients identify clothing that reflects who they are, how they want to feel, and how they want to move through the world. Walsh underscored the significance of those exchanges: “What you are doing is not small.” She continued, “Your stories are empowering and powerful, and that conversation every day with yourself is how it starts.”

Walsh’s appearance reflected the shared belief at the heart of both her work and cabi’s: personal style is an ongoing practice that can create real shifts in confidence, self-perception, and connection. Her CREATE method offered Stylists a fresh framework for continuing the work they already do every day, helping women make more intentional choices and see new possibilities in themselves.

“Fashion has the power to transform not just how we look, but how we feel,” said cabi CEO Addie Rintel. “Erin understands that getting dressed with intention can change the way we move through the world, and that’s exactly what our Stylists help women experience every day. We’re honored to have had her join us at Fashion Week as we celebrated the confidence, connection, and community that make cabi so special.”

Held twice each year, cabi Fashion Week brings thousands of independent Stylists together to experience the new seasonal collection, sharpen their business skills, and strengthen the community that drives cabi forward. It is a powerful moment of education, inspiration, and shared purpose that equips Stylists to return to their communities with renewed confidence and momentum. Walsh’s session became a defining moment of this season’s event, giving Stylists new language for the impact they make and reinforcing that every meaningful transformation begins with a woman choosing to see herself differently.
