HAPPY BORNDAY ARMANDO CABRAL . The man’s footsteps (& footwear) are legendary! Feliz Aniversário the brilliant Armando Cabral. Easily one of the most well-respected, prolific and successful models in the upper ranks of the Industry. I’ve followed this brother for most of his 14 years in the game and I’ve never heard one negative word about him. In an industry where “competitive" is an overly gentle understatement, that is saying a lot. The phrase I hear most attached to his name is “pure class.” . Armando quickly parlayed his highly successful modeling career into a second chapter as a high end footwear designer. His other parlay was to lay the groundwork for his younger brother Fernando to follow in his footsteps and eventually become one of history’s greatest male supermodels of color. . It is clear to all those who know this brother that his extreme generosity with his knowledge, insight and wisdom about the game, human nature, and life in general has earned him the respect as THE big brother of the fashion industry to countless young models who seek to follow in his footsteps. . THANK YOU, BROTHER! PARA FRENTE E PARA CIMA! . Armando is repped around the globe by multiple agencies, his mother agency is Karacter Agency in Lisbon. His career is still firing on all cylinders. You can currently see him and his two beautiful kids in a Christmas campaign for J. Crew.
