Celebrating Filipino Creativity & Leadership in the UAE!
Jojo Lapore is one of Dubai’s most respected Filipino fashion designers — a visionary known for blending couture elegance with modern Filipino artistry. As former President of Kabayan Kapit Bisig (2015–2020) and Founder of Hawak Kamay Unity in UAE, he has been a driving force in community leadership, styling dignitaries, celebrities, and empowering countless Filipinos through fashion and advocacy.
From major UAE volunteer events like Dubai World Obstacle Championship, Oceanman UAE, Burj 2 Burj Run, and Emirates Film Festival, Jojo continues to serve with passion and heart. His brands Jojo Lapore Couture and JL Collections have become staples in pageantry — including Man of the Philippines-UAE, Mrs. Kabayan Kapit Bisig, and Ginang ng Pilipinas — showcasing world-class Filipino craftsmanship.
He also champions inclusivity through projects like We Belong Catwalk, uplifting People of Determination, and contributes to prestigious platforms like Fashion Factor UAE and Middle East Fashion Week.
A true artist. A leader. A community pillar.
Proudly Filipino. Proudly Jojo Lapore. 🇵🇭✨
