BAYO and Aquino Foundation collaborates in style for the “I Am Cory” collection

4:27:00 PM

Together with the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation (NCAF), Bayo releases its new limited capsule collection to commemorate the life of the most admired Filipina of our time with a one-of-a-kind synergy of art, history, and fashion for a cause: the “I am Cory” collection.

Bayo supports NCAF, an organization devoted to building on the democratic legacy of two great Filipinos who brought out the best in their countrymen, and its goal of introducing Ninoy and Cory and their ideals to the new generation. Through this partnership with the foundation, Bayo is producing a unique collection n fit for the stylish Filipina.

Inspired by her colorful floral artwork, Bayo’s I am Cory Collection features everyday staples such as flower pot shirts, scoop neck shirts, striped tank tops, 1950s-inspired dresses, and chambray and striped polos with floral print and pockets.

Also in this collection are canvas bags which feature iconic prints of one of her landscape paintings and a flower pot painting, rendered in full and magnified versions.

Part of the proceeds from every purchase of the “I am Cory” products will be donated to the foundation to help support the advocacies of NCAF’s partners and the iamninoy-iamcory movement with its core youth mobilization and empowerment program which seeks to surface a new generation of Filipinos willing to step up as selfless heroes in their own right. From their ranks would emerge new leaders through a process of spiritual transformation in the mold of Ninoy and Cory Aquino.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I am curious. I travel. I am soul searching. Curious Tootling Soul, 3 words referring to me. In our everyday lives, we wander, and we ask questions. Yes, and sometimes it is hard to explain to someone who doesn’t quite see the world how you do— the way you do. Life to many can just be sectionalized and put into little boxes. A box for your true self; a box for your sociable self; a box for your fancies: your wants, your desires. Looking at your bucket list—list, highlight, and check. For some though life isn’t quite so simple. Some of us don’t know exactly what we want to do next or where we want to go, we just know there is so much out there we want to experience. We visit and travel new places often without knowing exactly what for, just that we know in our soul we need to. Mundane, humdrum existence and material things don’t impress us. We are in search for answers, for fulfillment and gratification. We need to be surrounded by love and warmth, growth and good. We know there is nothing better than a genuine laugh or a heartfelt hug. We are moved by the storytellers, the dreamers, the drifters, the people whose lives are different than ours, that we can learn from. We are drawn to new surroundings and unique experiences. As we fall in love with so many things around us, sometimes it is hard to keep track. We love and we continuously holding on for that love. We love different. We love doing things that terrify us because we know those are the moments that we grow. We love looking back and seeing that we have accomplished what we never thought we could, things we never thought were even a possibility. Because it is in those moments we know we are becoming the people we were always intended to be. We leap before we look sometimes. It is finding ourselves when we didn’t know we were lost and continuing to find ourselves over and over again. It is kissing a cute stranger under the stars, waving at a baby we pass on the street, helping someone who cannot repay us. It is jotting down a funny memory or a beautiful quote we can’t forget. It is finding out what makes us smile the biggest, what our passions are, what makes our eyes light up just by talking about it. (an excerpt from A. Twigg, 2015) I fall, but I keep on rising. My faith has been tested, but it always remains. I have grandiose plans and an endless list of options; the places that I want to explore and journeys that I want to take. I don’t always know how I will accomplish something, I just know some ways and the courage of somehow—I will. Life for me is a puzzle of creating moments. It is finding my next adventure. It is setting my feet on new sands, diving into new seas. It is laughing with a group of strangers, singing words to songs that I don’t know matters. It is knowing that there is a whole wide world out there just waiting for me to discover it. It is the feeling that there is no better time than right now to do what we have always wanted to do, so why not go? Do it.
