Products and positioning
The house built its name on seasonless couture, made-to-measure eveningwear and occasionwear. Mandagie has since argued that the future of fashion lies in ready-to-wear and has expanded accordingly. For Raya 2019, for example, he released a ready-to-wear collection named Aloha, inspired by a tropical paradise and featuring coconut and monstera leaves, orchids and frangipani.
Beyond fashion
Mandagie's profile extends into business. Caely Holdings, a Malaysian listed company, appointed him executive vice chairman, linking his name to a wider corporate platform.
Why it matters
The label's move from couture into ready-to-wear mirrors a strategy followed by many Southeast Asian designer houses, using festive collections such as Raya to reach a broader customer base while keeping couture as the brand's showcase.
