As for the shoe? The brand opted for a black and white style, with a trapeze-shaped metallic heel and Pink Tartan&#8217;s signature quilted clover repeated on the leather lining and insock. Nice.<\/p>\n<p>ALDO Group&#8217;s VP of marketing, Douglas Bensadoun, had especially nice things to say about the new alliance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve been fans of Pink Tartan from the get-go,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They&#8217;re a proudly Canadian brand that continues to raise the bar while delivering right on target. Working with Kimberly [President and Creative Director of Pink Tartan] has been a genuine pleasure &#8212; she&#8217;s a class act. Her elegant taste and timeless aesthetic pushed our design team to develop a style that feels like an instant classic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, who doesn&#8217;t love an instant classic?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A footwear collaboration<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67426,"featured_media":71387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64593],"tags":[71317,75545,67588,64849,75546,70779,75547,64847,68587],"class_list":["post-53880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-whisper","tag-aldo","tag-aldo-rise","tag-easy","tag-fashion","tag-mastercard-fashion-week","tag-montreal","tag-pink-tartan","tag-style","tag-braids"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pink Tartan Meets ALDO - 29Secrets<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"ALDO RISE joins forces with Pink Tartan during Toronto Fashion Week\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pink Tartan Meets ALDO - 29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ALDO RISE joins forces with Pink Tartan during Toronto Fashion Week\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/pop-culture\/daily-whisper\/pink-tartan-meets-aldo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-10-23T09:19:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/pink_tartan.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Anne T.
