On the highest cliffs of Capri, where the sea meets silence and the wind speaks to the gods, emperors built their dwellings to defy time. Ancient tales tell that the long corridors of those imperial terraces once held the slow step of women wrapped in the light of sunset, crossing the stone in laced sandals whose sound echoed softly through the island's silence. Capri still recognises those same souls today: the ones who walk without haste, as though they belonged to something eternal. The Imperial Step is born from that millennia-old legacy. From the light sound of sandals on stone warmed by the sun. From a beauty that asks for no attention, and yet commands everything. A slow step. A certain step. A step impossible to forget. The Imperial Step is the most essential silhouette of the collection, reduced to a gesture: slim braids of leather rising along the ankle and a single golden ring as the only ornament.
