The Black Book

Bode, founded in 2016 by designer Emily Adams Bode Aujla, is an American luxury clothing brand dedicated to the preservation and reinterpretation of antique and traditional textiles. The brand’s debut collection featured garments crafted entirely from vintage fabrics, reflecting a deep commitment to storytelling through design.

Renowned for its use of historical techniques including quilting, mending, patchwork, sashiko, boro, and appliqué, Bode seamlessly bridges craftsmanship and contemporary menswear. In a milestone moment, she became the first female designer to show at New York Fashion Week: Men’s. In 2023, the brand expanded its vision, debuting its womenswear line.
