History

In 2016, the brand was formally launched with a collection of garments composed entirely of antique textiles for the purpose of storytelling and preservation in American menswear.[6][7][8]

The company opened its first retail store in 2019.[9][10]

The Bode brand is known for its use of historical techniques in modern fashion, such as using quilting, mending, patchwork, sashiko, boro, and appliqué.[2][11]

Emily Adams Bode Aujla was the first female designer to show at New York Fashion Week: Men's, the dedicated menswear shows at the event.[12][13]
