Autor

"Dubbed the bridal shoe guru by fashion editors"

Alan, educated at Melbourne Grammar, was a keen sportsman, eventually playing for the Old Melburnians in the Amateur Football Association, representing the State, then selected as an All Australian.

In the 1960's, specialising in high fashion shoes, including glamorous styles for brides, bridesmaids, mothers, and guests, he opened the first city location named "PINKYS", followed by a 2-level boutique, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, opposite the Melbourne Town Hall.

Alan changed the store name to "Alan Pinkus" highlighting his flair for "theatre" to attract a specific clientele.

He became respected as an innovator in the footwear and retail industries in Australia and overseas by his international product development.

Myer, a major departmental group, invited Alan and his wife Diana to open concession departments nationally, and then welcomed him as a Fashion on the Fields judge at the prestigious Melbourne Cup Carnival.

He joined the Rotary Club of Brighton in 1975 and was elected President 1986-7.

He was presented with an "Award of 40 Years" commendation for dedication to retailing in the city, by the Lord Mayor of Melbourne.

In retirement the question often asked; "why have you been involved in the development and design of women's shoes over 50 years?"

Simply, "the personal satisfaction one receives when a female proudly "walks tall" completing a creative vision of the total look, in an exciting pair of Alan Pinkus shoes!"
