After a successful collaboration with the SM’s Parisian line late last year, it was take two for designer Rajo Laurel who recently showcased his latest collection for the iconic shoe brand at the SMX Convention Center. It also marked the launch of his new collaboration with Milanos, SM’s in-house men’s shoe line.

The designs, which were highlighted in a shoe, had Japanese influences. Rajo has said that he and his family had always had affinity to Japanese culture, and his latest trip to Japan inspired him to design a collection with designs, materials, and textures inspired by the Land of the Rising Sun.

The Rajo for Parisian collection has artisan pieces in metallic, suede, brocade and satin materials. Each design was obviously well thought of, resulting in fabulous pairs that can complement every fashionable woman’s wardrobe.

In his first collaboration with Milanos, Rajo has Samurai inspired dressy and casual designs, including boots with Japanese contempo touches.  Men can definitely take a stylish step forward with the wide range that Rajo for Milanos offers.

After the show, guests were also given the opportunity to have the first picks from the collection. The fashionable guests were thrilled to be able to bring their favorite pairs home right after the shows.

The Rajo for Parisian and Rajo for Milanos collections are available in SM stores at Makati, Cubao, Mall of Asia, North EDSA, Megamall, San Lazaro, Manila, Fairview, and Las Piñas. In the provincial areas, these can be found at SM Bacoor, SM Dasmariñas, SM Lucena, SM Lipa, SM Baguio, SM Pampanga, SM Clark, and SM Marilao in Luzon; and SM Cebu, SM Mandurriao, and SM Lanang in the Vismin area.
