to dinner on the canal.
Some shoes wait for the big occasions. The Castello isn't one of them — it's the velvet Mary-Jane you actually reach for, from the first aperitivo to the last vaporetto home. This season it arrives in wine: deep, warm and made for candlelight.
Where the cool girls go: Palazzetto MyVenice
Tucked into Dorsoduro, a few steps from the Grand Canal, Palazzetto MyVenice is a 16th-century Venetian palazzo turned restaurant: original terrazzo floors, soaring ceilings, Murano glass on the table and contemporary Venetian cooking done properly. Ask for a table by the window and let a gondola drift past between courses.
★ There's a caviar bar on the first floor — champagne pairings by candlelight, and a Venice that's quieter and more real. Cool girls order the bottoni.

The shoe: the Castello in wine
Deep wine velvet, a hand-tied velvet bow and the softest sole in Venice. The Mary-Jane that turns a plain black dress into an occasion — and never hurts, all night long.
Also new in wine — the San Marco, the velvet slipper you'll live in.
