Iconic designer Rajo Laurel recently celebrated two important milestones. The first was the launch of the brand’s Holiday Collection 2025. Designed in collaboration with his sisters, Venisse Laurel-Hermano and Gela Laurel-Stehmeier, the collection marked a first in the brand’s history. Also, it was the debut of a contemporary new store design for The RAJO Store, Power Plant Mall.
