Born Catherine Marguerite Marie-Thérèse Baheux in Calais, France, Walker is known for having supplied over a thousand garments for Diana, Princess of Wales.
Walker designed two seasonal collections per year, as well as wedding gowns and she created a range of skincare products.
He continues to run it with the same philosophy, focusing on bespoke garments for clients and eschewing runway shows, large marketing campaigns, and the wholesale trade.
