Do Your Shoes Make a Statement? A Conversation with Donald and Lisa Pliner

How do Donald and Lisa Pliner say so much without uttering a word? Their head-turning heels, loafers and more make bold statements about looking good and feeling good too.

We talked with the fashion power couple a few weeks ago about how comfort and style can say more about your personality than you think…

 

What’s it like for the two of you to work on this collection together?

“We started the Lisa and Donald Collection just three years ago. Lisa’s idea are a lot different than mine, and we can balance and get a lot of different feelings from the collection.”

 

Can you sum up in one word what your collection is all about?

“The most important thing about the collection about everything that we do is comfort. It doesn’t matter how fashionable the shoe is, if you can’t wear it, it’s not fashionable.”

 

Some don’t mix high fashion with comfort. Why is comfort so important to your collection?

“Because we travel so much, that’s how we got into comfort. We do these appearances so we find out who the real customer is as opposed to just sitting around and designing the shoes. [That’s] what makes Donald and I so special. We do know our customer and … we give the customer what they want.”

 

What do you think inspires your creations?

“There are so many shoe designers and so much repetition out there. Women know what they want when they go shopping. We know our customer, and we know what we specifically stand for and what we design.

Basically our trend is in our own hands … That’s what Donald Pliner is about. It’s Donald Pliner. It’s Donald and Lisa. It’s about what we feel — not what we’re copying or trying to enhance.”

 

What advice can you give women looking to buy their next pair of shoes?

“There are too many women wearing shoes that don’t look like them, and you know it’s not their personality. It’s someone else’s.

That’s the beauty of my shoes. They talk. My shoes talk because of their comfort.
