It transforms imaginative garments and textiles into carefully constructed silhouettes. The pieces in the Art Couture section present fashion not merely as a subjective experience but as a conceptual lens–sculptural, iconic, and alive in the flowing movements of fabric.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Wearable Art that Amplifies Voices</strong></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747635722236Sculptor Anna Orlina dawing a dress from the Bayo Atelier Anna Orlina-inspired collection.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo Courtesy of Ladder Events Production </span></span></span></div><p>Sculptor Anna Orlina’s pieces are born of fluidity, softness, and introspection–qualities that have shaped her journey and honored her father’s legacy. Her collection amplifies voices, often expressed through delicate gradients and intuitive glass forms. With Bayo Atelier supporting her vision, Anna’s artistry reinterprets couture into luminous glass sculptures–radiant, transformative, and brilliant design.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Harvest Creative CommUNITY Hub</strong></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747635746875_DSC2714_4x5.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo Courtesy of Bayo Foundation</span></span></span></div><p>Driven by dedication and rooted in personal stories, the artisans at the Harvest Creative CommUNITY Hub x Rising Sun Foundation showcase traditional craftsmanship infused with individual narratives.
