What better way to get back in the groove being in person at the office or in class after WFH for over a year than with a fresh pair of shoes. Now that most jobs and schools are preparing for 100% in-person or a hybrid schedule for the fall, you’re going to need a fresh pair of shoes to make you feel good as you step back into the chaos. If you’re a shoe fanatic like I am, there is nothing quite like the feeling of splurging on a pair of shoes that you’ve been eyeing on for a while in your shopping cart.

Watched by an audience that included Jennifer Lopez, Sean Combs, Doja Cat, Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Ciara, Monica Bellucci, Christian Bale, Dame Helen Mirren, Kitty Spencer and many more, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana presented their latest Alta Moda collection in a venue that has, until now, never hosted a fashion show: St Mark’s Square.
