Inside the mind of a fashion designer - get to know more about Rajo Laurel in his new YouTube Channel

Published Sep 20, 2022 10:19 am

Fashion designer and icon Rajo Laurel recently launched his YouTube channel to allow his fans and
audience to get to know him more personally–from his passion and sense of purpose, and his
everyday life.


Initially, the fashion icon revealed that the thought of vlogging was daunting but his passion for
learning, and yearning to engage with his followers and fellow designers persevered. “One of the
things that I am learning now as I become a true ‘tito’ of the world is to just say ‘yes’, especially
to new experiences and opportunities,” said Laurel.


In his first ever YouTube video, his viewers get a chance to get to know him through a sit-down
interview where he shares his routine, inspirations, and favorites–he even sings a few lines of his
favorite song! His second YouTube video, on the other hand, is a treat for fans and budding designers
as they get a ‘House of Laurel’ studio tour, and as he shares how his designs come to life.


“We are very proud to launch Rajo Laurel’s YouTube channel because it gives us the opportunity to
highlight the realness of Rajo and get to know him as a person. In doing so, we hope that people can
connect and get inspired by him. At the same time, this is a chance to spotlight how talented Filipinos
are by sharing his insights and accomplishments from his years of experience,” said Emmelyn Cruz,
Gushcloud Philippines Head of Studios.


Rajo Laurel’s YouTube Channel is managed by Gushcloud Philippines, a global technology-driven
digital talent and media company with concentration on influencer marketing, entertainment, and
commerce.

“Gushcloud has always been committed to creating relevant content that inspires. The release of Rajo
Laurel’s YouTube channel is not just something we are proud to be a part of, but a testament of our
mission. As a fashion icon and designer, Rajo Laurel has a voice that can move mountains and
inspire future generations. His channel allows audiences to further understand his genius, ideals, and
creativity as an artist. By making that happen, we are continuously bringing our vision of creating
tomorrow’s positive influence into a reality,” said Jamie Paraso, Country Director of Gushcloud
Philippines.


Join Rajo Laurel in his creative adventures. Get to know him better as he shares musings on fashion
design, travels, lifestyle, and recreation. New videos will be released on Saturdays, 7PM on the Rajo
Laurel YouTube Channel.


Aside from Rajo Laurel, Gushcloud has also signed celebrity wedding videographer Jason Magbanua,
celebrities Bangs Garcia, Ciara Sotto, Bettina Carlos, Michelle Madrigal, and Patrick Garcia & family
for channel management. For more information, visit gushcloud.com.
