Bode SHORTS

New York designer Emily Adams Bode launched her namesake label in 2016. A year later, the CFDA Fashion Awards recipient became the first female designer to show at New York Fashion Week: Men’s, after which her brand quickly earned a devoted following for its inventive use of antique fabrics and workwear silhouettes. Representing an examination of personal history and traditional craftsmanship, Bode’s garments are tailor-made in New York and New Delhi, using materials from the designer’s collection of vintage textiles, tablecloths, bed linens, and handkerchiefs. The amalgamation of patterns and textures results in patchwork utility shirts, trousers, and leisurewear, with elements of conventionally feminine needlework such as quilting and embroidery. Blending classic artistry with contemporary design, Bode brings a structured softness to the realm of luxury menswear.
