Donald Pliner has been synonymous with luxury footwear since 1989, bringing bold design, innovative materials, and impeccable craftsmanship in the footwear industry. With design studios in New York and Los Angeles, the brand stays attuned to current trends while maintaining a perfect balance between daring fashion statements and everyday wearability. Known for their versatile and comfortable styles, the brand has a legacy of creating footwear that doesn’t just look great but also feels amazing. From casual to dressy, Donald Pliner’s collections cater to the needs of those who prioritize both style and comfort in their wardrobes.

For the autumn–winter 2024–5 collection, loafers take centre-stage with a focus on texture, metallic finishes, and functional details. The Lissi loafer in Silver brings a metallic sheen to a timeless silhouette, perfect for those looking to make a subtle statement, while the Carlisle loafer in Wine adds a polished touch with its box-calf leather and scalloped edges. The collection also explores chunkier, more utilitarian-inspired designs with options like the Marsha loafer in Saddle, featuring a bold EVA foam lug sole, and the Hampton loafer, which merges classic loafer elements with a mule silhouette. With luxurious materials like nappa leather, antique calfskin, and hair-calf, this collection offers a variety of textures and styles to match any fall look, ensuring both comfort and standout style.

Philanthropy is a core value at Donald Pliner, and the brand is proud to announce its ongoing partnership with Shoes for a Cure, in collaboration with the Fashion Footwear Charitable Foundation (FFCF), to raise awareness for breast cancer and support first-step research. Shoes for a Cure brings the footwear industry together, raising money and providing grants directly to the doctors working tirelessly to find a cure for breast cancer.

Shoes for a Cure is driving impactful change by empowering researchers and scientists to develop innovative solutions that bring us closer to a world without breast cancer. As the largest fundraising event in the footwear industry, Shoes for a Cure has raised over US$60 million to date, directly contributing to life-saving breast cancer research. From Wednesday, October 23 through Sunday, October 27, 2024, the annual Shoes for a Cure event not only strives to drive awareness, but also encourages consumer participation in the fight against breast cancer.
