My mom @beepedersen_ and @maisonchinoisehouston hosted a beautiful book signing for Donald—an afternoon filled with love, legacy, and fashion.
It was so wonderful to see the Pliner family—his wife and muse Lisa, their daughter Starr, and even sweet Moonlight 🐾—along with so many familiar faces who supported Donald & my mom for nearly 17 incredible years at the Houston store in Highland Village…relationships that have truly become like extended family.
Moments like these feel rare and deeply meaningful—full of history, connection, and heart.
Precious moments, forever cherished ✨
More than a memoir, “The Selling of One’s Sole” offers an honest look inside the fashion industry—its highs, its setbacks, and everything in between.
From Donald’s early days in Chicago working in his father’s shoe store to building a globally recognized brand, his journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and passion.
A reminder that success isn’t linear—it’s built through vision, persistence, and the courage to begin again.
