Bode SWEATERS

Just two years after Emily Adams Bode Aujla founded her namesake label Bode—pronounced BOH-dee—she became the first-ever female designer to show at men’s New York Fashion Week in 2018. Popular and critical success swiftly followed for the New York City–based label, which is best known for Bode Aujla’s distinctive use of rare, vintage textiles from around the world. Rich with history, these textiles embody the label’s grander pursuit of making clothing with a narrative carefully cultivated through attentive craftsmanship and an embrace of imperfection. Bode’s androgynous fashion exists outside a set category—with influences coming from across eras and styles—but that’s precisely what makes these contemporary heirlooms timeless.
