Iconic visionary Rajo Laurel effortlessly captured the city’s fashionable zeitgeist with the spectacular launch of the RAJO Afters Club at Stardust Makati.

Orchestrated in brilliant collaboration with creative confidantes, the evening transformed into a dazzling playground of style and sophisticated revelry.

Guests were treated to an exclusive preview of a highly anticipated holiday collection, beautifully blending relaxed, sculptural drama with fluid textiles and interchangeable separates.

Designed to transition the modern urbanite seamlessly from high-stakes daytime affairs to late-night soirées, the collection emerged as a magnificent testament to pure, unadulterated glamor that celebrates effortless movement and the active joy of dressing up.

Bathed in the warm glow of disco lights, the venue hummed with the electric energy of the metro’s most prominent tastemakers, creative visionaries and style architects.

A brilliant collective of fashion influencers, high-profile personalities and cultural icons elevated the room’s glamor, while a show-stopping drag performance added a bold, theatrical flair to the festivities.

The night celebrated the debut of the brand’s first-ever official merchandise collection — elevating everyday essentials like tees, caps and tote bags into instant sartorial statements.

The unforgettable affair solidified the gathering not merely as a fashion preview, but as the season’s ultimate cultural milestone.
