![]() When Dallas isn’t making millions by goofing around, he’s modelling for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana while effectively filling the non-threatening attractive male void that was left by the disbandment of One Direction. He has 20m Instagram followers at the time of writing, which is 3m more than Barack Obama. YouTube and Vine (RIP) were the launch pad for this American online personality, whose modelling career is a side-gig for his full-time occupation of documenting his waking life to a frankly staggering audience. Once upon a time young men rocked up to modelling agencies with a few amateur snaps and an overzealous mother, but if Cameron Dallas is anything to go by, things have changed. Peak hipster may have subsided, but Huxley’s still got us wishing we were cool enough to go heavy on the facial hair, tattoos, leather and jewellery without looking completely and utterly ridiculous. Putting that divisive achievement aside, in an industry where models are expected to be a blank canvas, Huxley’s decidely unblank canvas (he’s teeming with tattoos) marked a new kind of men’s style icon where clothes are almost secondary to body mods. Whether you consider it admirable or unforgivable, Billy Huxley is one of OG beard wearers who spawned thousands of hairy-hipster imitators. In a world where being a name and a face is enough to get cash-registers ringing furiously, the fact that Cabral’s fancy footwear shows a genuine understanding of design is music to our ears, and feet. ![]() That’s not the case with Portugal-raised model Armando Cabral who can back up being generally elegant and expensive-looking with being the designer of an eponymous shoe brand that is every bit as tasteful in appearance as the man himself.
