Fashion and shoe designer Donald J Pliner will make a personal appearance in Saturday at Belk at the Summit, March 30, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., and the public is invited.
Pliner, the luxury fashion creator who has gained celebrity status for his footwear and accessories designs for men and women, will meet fans and showcase and sign merchandise from his Spring 2013 collection. Refreshments from Kathy G. will be served.
Donald J Pliner launched his line of luxury men’s and women’s footwear and accessories in 1989. Almost immediately, his name became synonymous with innovative design and high style and unprecedented comfort.
Inducted into the Footwear News Hall of Fame in 2004, Pliner still designs every pair of shoes himself, carefully screening each new design to ensure perfect fit and function.
The Donald J Pliner corporate office and showroom, located on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, transports visitors inside the highly visual world of the designer's mind. A museum-like presentation of shoes-as-art coexists comfortably with a relaxed living-room-like setting.
And while casual comfort marks the atmosphere of his office, Donald J Pliner is anything but laid back. Nothing goes unnoticed in the world of Donald J Pliner. Colors, shapes and profiles all have meaning.
Today, the Donald J Pliner global brand has established an almost-cult following among men and women. Initially attracted by the fashion-forward style, they return for its comfort and craftsmanship.
The Donald J Pliner Collection is sold nationwide in select specialty stores and upscale department stores including Belk and at the company’s five concept stores (Aventura, Coral Gables, Houston, Las Vegas, San Jose).
