This year's Style Harvest: A Playful Holiday showcases pieces with flattering silhouettes, cuts, and prints to take every Filipina down memory lane. You see, the clothes are inspired by classic children's toys like yoyos, slinkys, pick-up sticks, building blocks, puzzles, and toy soldiers. To my contemporaries, I'm sure you have also played with those things during your childhood. I did!

As such, expect the latest collection to highlight cheerful Christmas colors -- mainly blues, reds, yellows, and greens -- in timeless pieces such as tops pants, skirts, and dresses. Bayo's color palette was based on happy hues and shades that complement the season.

According to Bayo’s creative director, Anna Lagon, the team was inspired to create a collection that would bring out fun memories of childhood thus their holiday line of Style Harvest, which is a memoir to every adult and young adults’ Christmas.

"We literally had a playful time while working on the various pieces along with the unique artworks, inspired by the iconic toys we have chosen; it did bring out the child in us," shared Anna. "After all, this season, is the happiest time of the year not only for the young, but also for the young at heart." She added that the brand's design sensibilities remain classic and elegant, "which are all consistent with what Bayo is all about."

This 2016, Bayo formed a partnership with KIDS 4 Others (Kids in Dedicated Service 4 Others) to celebrate the season of giving. Those buying pieces from the collection will be helping the Concordia Children’s Services and Gentle Hands Inc., where part of the proceeds will be given.

Launched in 2013 to promote Filipino creativity, Style Harvest is a collaborative brand of Bayo that aims to assist communities and organizations by sponsoring projects that help cultivate Filipino talent and ingenuity.

Last year's collaboration was with the Tourism Office of Pampanga, which invoked the Filipino Christmas tradition by taking inspiration from the parols made by the artisans of San Fernando, Pampanga. Bayo also partnered with Virlanie Foundation, Inc. to support its mission to help less fortunate children. Both organizations foster the love for the Filipino and its heritage.
