The noted Filipino designer returns to his roots with a timeless collection and an inviting retail space that evokes family warmth and the wearable style
Fashion designer Rajo Laurel marks this next chapter in his life with two memorable milestones.
His holiday 2025 collection was born from an intensive and intentional collaboration with two of his sisters, resulting in chic and timeless pieces designed for everyday wear. He also reopened his boutique at Power Plant Mall, a refined and streamlined setting, thoughtfully complemented by the attentive and welcoming staff.
Together, these milestones highlight his dedication to design, inclusivity, and making every fashion experience personal and engaging.
Design trio
It all started with a request from his two sisters, Venisse Laurel-Hermano and Gela Laurel-Stehmeier, to create a capsule collection featuring pieces made for traveling. "I loved it so much that I turned this idea into the entire collection," Rajo tells Manila Bulletin Lifestyle in an exclusive interview.

Today is my hour, tomorrow is yours!
