SM Parisian Shoes and Bags Holiday Collection 2012
It is with great thrill that I share these photos with you! I’ve gone to three different SM Department Stores to see these babies in the flesh and I WASN’T DISAPPOINTED AT ALL! 🙂
https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swfAny shoe-lover wouldn’t want to miss getting a few (if not ALL) pieces from this collection.
I fell instantly in love with the beautiful floral details of Oriental Chopine. These were the first I tried on from the new collection.

Shoes – Who would have thought?
I remember my Multiply days. I’d count online shoe shopping as therapy. I didn’t have to even purchase them. The fact that I’d click and see the many colors and shoe designs was enough to make me happy.
It’s been years since my “Multiply Shoe Collection”. I happened to browse through some of my photos from this year and 2011 and realized that I seem to have acquired similar-looking shoes! Talk about the power of visualization!
I don’t think I’d call myself a shoe addict yet. 🙂 There are pairs I’ve purchased myself while there are shoes that were just given to me (God thankfully provides through different people 🙂 ). When I go looking for shoes, I make sure that I purchase pairs that I’d actually use.
I’m also not the type who would splurge on signature heels. While I do appreciate stylish shoes, I feel guilty spending an arm and a leg for a single pair which is why I really love Parisian shoes! 🙂 They’re priced right but the quality and style aren’t compromised.
Rajo! for Parisian 2012
November 9, 2011: I remember being so enthralled as I entered the huge SMDC showroom at the Mall of Asia complex. Months flew by so fast, Rajo Laurel’s first foray into shoes (with Parisian, nonetheless!) seemed like it was just yesterday.
September 25, 2012: Still on a high after receiving the trophy from the 34th Catholic Mass Media Awards, I quickly drove off to the SMX Convention Center to witness the reveal of Rajo Laurel’s much anticipated comeback with Parisian and Milanos.
Rajo shares that he’s always been fascinated with Japanese culture. “I am in love with the graphic qualities of their traditional garb, the intricate art of the obi, the deep romanticism associated with kimono and of course the Zen balance of the modern Japanese aesthetic.”

RAJO! for Parisian – Shoe-happy me!
Just attended the launch of RAJO for Parisian, and just like the other girls (and guys) at the event, I went home shoe-happy!
In Rajo’s Twitter account and his blog, he mentioned that November 9, 2011 is a big day for him and indeed, it was. After more than a year of research, conceptualizing and working on the designs, the shoe collection finally saw the light of day at the SMDC showroom at the SM Mall of Asia.
I like how the show was brief yet extravagant. There were no lengthy special numbers, just an attention-grabbing fashion walk and video that encapsulated everything Rajo worked on and his excitement to partner with Parisian. After a final pose with his models, Rajo gleefully told all of us present that we’d be the first ones to take home our own pair of Rajo for Parisian shoes!
Oh, the frenzy that followed! They dedicated a portion of the SMDC showroom to a long display of shoes where we picked out styles we liked and asked the friendly SM attendants for our sizes. It took me a while to try my pair on, but when I slipped my feet into the plum and brown Kylie G shoes, I just fell in love!

For this shoe collection, Rajo drew inspiration from sculpture, architecture and pop culture. Eugene Saw of Parisian said that teaming up with Rajo was a wonderful experience as he shared with them his expertise and work ethic –factors that are responsible for the success of his brand. Given the collection’s exquisite design and workmanship, the shoes are priced from P999.75 to P2,199.75, remaining true to what Parisian stands for – high fashion made affordable.
The Rajo! for Parisian collection will be available at seven premiere SM Department Stores starting November 11 – SM Makati, SM Cubao, SM North EDSA, SM Megamall, SM Southmall, SM Mall of Asia, and SM Cebu.
