Kent State School of Fashion to Induct Shoe Design Icon Donald J Pliner Into Hall of Fame

Few names in fashion footwear evoke the kind of response that the mere mention of Donald J Pliner does. Pliner is one of America鈥檚 most successful designers of high-end footwear to grace the shelves of the best retailers in the country. The label can be found in the closets of well-dressed women and men around the world. 

In April 2025, the iconic designer will be recognized as the 2025 inductee of 5X社区鈥檚 School of Fashion Hall of Fame, which Pliner considers the highest honor of his life. Joining Pliner at his induction ceremony will be his wife, muse and design partner, Lisa, who has been by his side for the past 28 years.
