Armando Cabral Grained Leather Lace-up
It's said that all models want to be actors and all actors want to be directors. Feasible? Yes. However, what makes more sense to me is a model using some of that moolah and going into familiar territory. You spent your career wearing clothing then why not delve into clothing if you have the head for it. Enter Armando Cabral of Armando Cabral Shoes. You've no doubt seen his face in everything from your J. Crew Catalog to the highest of fashion's runways and since 2009 this Portuguese native has been building his shoe company. Consisting of simple, clean and well made oxfords, sneakers, slip ons and chukka styles, this brand is one I would trust especially coming from a man who has walked in many shoes, literally. Pictured here is his cool textured Grained Leather Lace-up for spring 2012 available at stores like Odin New York and Steven Alan.
