About

Bode is an American luxury brand that expresses a sentimentality for the past through the study of personal narratives and historical techniques. Modern workwear silhouettes united with female-centric traditions of quilting, mending, and appliqué shape the collections. Each piece tells a story and is tailor-made.

Emily Adams Bode Aujla was the first female designer to show at NYFW: Men's. She is paving the way for women entrepreneurs in the menswear industry. In 2016, the brand began with a collection of one-of-a-kind garments composed entirely of antique textiles and continues to reinvigorate American menswear through the art of storytelling and preservation.

Bode Aujla has been recognized with numerous awards for both her foundational one-of-a-kind collections and her seasonal narrative-based collections, including: Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Award: Emerging Designer (2022), CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year (2022, 2021), Woolmark Prize: Karl Lagerfeld Award (2020), LVMH Prize Finalist (2019), CFDA Emerging Designer of the Year (2019), Business of Fashion 500 (2019), GQ's Breakthrough Designer of the Year (2019), and Forbes 30 Under 30.
