The RAJO Holiday 2026 collection treats the wardrobe as a place for experimentation.
RAJO’s Holiday 2026 collection carries the youthful spirit that has long come with creative director Rajo Laurel’s mononymous label, along with a trace of androgyny he has flirted with in seasons past. The trademarks arrive on schedule, from the asymmetry to a fearlessness with loose shapes.

Workwear After Hours: Inside RAJO Holiday 2026
Workwear gets the RAJO treatment here, which means it sheds the rigidity of its industrial origins. The work Laurel has in mind also stretches well past the office and into the 6-to-9, those hours after clocking out when family and play take over, and the clothes follow along without requiring a change of outfit.
Shirts take on graphic proportions and sculptural forms, and fluid textiles soften the structure just enough to keep everything wearable. Several kimono-style pieces also send the memory back to RAJOMAN, his 2024 debut menswear collection inspired by his Lolo Pepe, the first Filipino to graduate from the Imperial Japanese Army Academy.
Dressed Like Family
Family shapes this collection a second time, since Laurel built it around the everyday wardrobes of his sisters and collaborators, Venisse Laurel Hermano and Gela Laurel Stehmeier. Both women spend their days on professional pursuits and their evenings with family and friends. Their own closets supply the logic behind the collection’s emphasis on interchangeable separates. Each piece is meant to be worn, revisited, and restyled for years, an approach that fits the brand’s stated commitment to longevity and considered consumption. Breathable, tactile materials keep comfort at the center of it all.
Colors And Proportion Play Along
Laurel describes the palette as mostly neutral, though the eye keeps wandering toward the accents of silver, fuchsia, and lustrous brown that give the collection its pulse while preserving a cool, calm temperament. A fuchsia blouse slips off one shoulder, and nearby a cloud-like white top floats with serene authority. An ultramarine gathered skirt meets a striped, billowing blouse with a ruched collar. Meanwhile, crisp shirts carry oversized front pockets in stripes or pleats.
Ankle-length trousers wear a mesh overlay; an asymmetrical leopard-print dress commits to its pattern from neckline to hem, and a black shirt shows off its woven details. A dark blue piece outlined in thick black piping takes an angular, kimono-esque shape; bomber jackets arrive in abstract prints. A loose-fitting red jacket is striped and finished with a fluttering collar makes a feast of the whole closet. Throughout, Laurel plays with proportion as though it were a favorite toy he has no plans to put away.
The collection resists the urge to chase novelty for its own sake and finds its possibilities in what already hangs in the closet, stretching the familiar into new purposes.
