BAYOU
RAYA ’25
A celebration of contrast, the delicate calm of dusk meeting the quiet intensity of a brewing storm. Inspired by Brunei’s Kampung Ayer, Bayou captures the fleeting beauty of transition, where serenity and strength coexist in perfect harmony.
The name Bayou draws from multiple layers of meaning. In its essence, “Bayu” signifies the gentle tropical breeze that heralds change, while “Bayou” evokes images of boats gliding across the water, a tribute to the heritage of Kampung Ayer, the “Water Village.” Symbolically, “Ba” represents being, and “You” embodies individuality.
Together, Bayou becomes a metaphor for transformation—an invitation to embrace one’s unique journey and make a bold, stormy statement.
With Bayou, this collection becomes a vessel for personal expression, much like the boats that navigate life’s waters, blending tradition and modernity in every detail.
