Luxury eyewear CEO says people “judge you” by your shoes

12/08/2013
Majid Mohammadi, chief executive of luxury eyewear brand Cutler & Gross, has said he believes footwear is “definitely something people judge you by”.

In an interview with the Financial Times to discuss what he likes to wear, Mr Mohammadi highlighted a pair of Oxford-style brogues from Italian brand Pollini as his shoes of choice at the moment.

Emilia-Romagna-based Pollini has used a white rubber sole and white laces to create a contrast with crinkled and perforated swallow-tailed calf leather upper. Majid Mohammadi told the FT that he likes them because the leather is soft and light. “They are very easy to wear,” he said, “ while also making a statement with white trimming and laces.”
