Event Date: 9/15/2014
Hosted By: Phu Styles and FGI-LA
Yesterday's event was full of style, tips, and some history on Donald J. and Lisa Pliner. The night was created for as a trajectory of the brand, where members, students, family and friends got a personal experience. We heard about their accessories, shoe lines, and more about the Pliner's themselves. With more than 25 years of business and branding, Donald J. was able to talk about their dog Baby Doll and how she was a huge aspect of their company and brand. With his Donald J. Signature Collection and Donald Pliner collection, we got an inside look at more of his shoes from the past. What inspired him, and what he thought was successful where among some of the topics, he and Lisa were able to touch base on as well. Wrapping up the night we were able to do a question and answer from some of the audience members, where they were able to get direct answers from both of the Pliners. With exciting news of Lisa's new book just finishing and her new book in the works, as well as Donald working on a book, the Pliners aren't done with any branding. They are continuing to grow and bring awareness to their foundation, Peace For The Children. A foundation started after adopting their daughter from another country which didn't have playgrounds at the adopt homes and schools. Find out more here at Peace for the Children Facebook link.
