nytimes.comHaving walked for Dior Homme, Dries Van Noten, Calvin Klein and J. Crew, the model Armando Cabral is no stranger to designer shoes. So it was not a stretch that the 30-year-old Portuguese native who earned a business degree in London would start his own line of men’s footwear. “As a model traveling a lot, I was looking for versatile shoes that I could wear all the time and for any occasion,” says Cabral, who introduced the collection two years ago and now sells it in stores like Odin and Steven Alan in New York. In the spirit of adaptability, Cabral’s spring shoes include leather-and-denim oxfords, suede brogue-inspired sneakers and espadrilles with rubber soles. “The idea is to combine the sensibility of classic design with casual wear,” he says. “Easy dressing for men.”
