Omni Talk Retail is live from eTail West 2026 with coverage powered by NetElixir.

In this interview, Anne Mezzenga speaks with Denise Incandela, EVP of Fashion at Walmart, about the ongoing transformation of Walmart Fashion.

Over the past several years, Walmart has evolved from a basics driven apparel business into a modern, trend relevant fashion destination. Denise shares how the company has:

Relaunched and elevated major private brands
Introduced new brands like Free Assembly to fill key market white space
Leveraged AI to accelerate trend analysis and product design
Modernized stores and e commerce to make fashion the hero
Used pop ups and influencer strategy to shift customer perception

Walmart is also applying AI at the earliest stages of product development, using insights from runway shows, social media, and global trend data to accelerate design and deliver more trend right product to customers, faster.

With 145 million weekly customers, Walmart’s opportunity to democratize fashion at scale is unmatched.
