BODE
Fashion Designer
BODE is a menswear brand centred around vintage textiles, founded by American designer Emily Bode. The brand began in 2015 with a collection of unique garments composed entirely of antique textiles. BODE continues to explore fashion as a medium of storytelling by combining modern workwear silhouettes with the historically female-centric traditions of quilting, mending and appliqué.
BODE works with female-run factories in Peru and India that are dedicated to maintaining historical practices of textile production. In New York, these fabrics are supplemented with otherwise forgotten textiles such as bed linens, tablecloths and various domestic materials.
Its founder, Emily Bode, was the first female designer to show at New York Fashion Week Men’s and was a 2018 runner-up for the Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund award. In 2019, the brand won Emerging Designer of the Year Award at the CFDA Awards. BODE was nominated for the Woolmark Prize 2020.
