Le Soleil Est Mon Amour - Armando Cabral x Nataal
Nataal has teamed up with Armando Cabral for this extra special SS23 story shot by Daniel Obasi in Abidjan. The season sees his namesake men’s footwear brand expand into unisex sizing as well as new categories including shirts and fragrance. To celebrate, our narrative highlights Armando Cabral’s natural connections to Africa and our shared network of talent across the continent. “I’m excited for this season’s collection. We’re launching new designs and we’re expanding the size ranges for many of our styles,” Cabral says. “I didn’t just want to create a marketing campaign, I wanted to create something organic and artistic. So, a collaboration with Nataal was the right way to bring this story to life.”
