Hilton to visit South Coast Plaza for shoes

Paris Hilton, the socialite, actress and singer recently turned fashion icon, is scheduled to appear at South Coast Plaza in February to promote her new line of high-end footwear.

The Paris Hilton Footwear Collection, which offers spring, summer, fall and winter lines, and ranges in price from $59 to $195, will go on sale Jan. 29 at Macy’s, collection spokeswoman Emily Weiner-Cohen said. Hilton plans to make a personal appearance from 3 to 6 p.m. Feb. 8 to sign autographs for the first 200 people to purchase her shoes after the first day they go on sale.

The Paris Hilton Footwear Collection includes stilettos, flats, wedges and sandals, with sizes ranging from 5 to 11.

Weiner-Cohen said she expected a packed house for Hilton, who will sign photographs of herself rather than the shoes.

“The first 200 people who buy shoes from the 29th to the 8th are guaranteed to meet her, so we’re expecting more than 200” people, Weiner-Cohen said.
