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.
The company opened its first retail store in 2019.
The Bode brand is known for its use of historical techniques in modern fashion, such as using quilting, mending, patchwork, sashiko, boro, and appliqué.
Emily Adams Bode was the first female designer to show at New York Fashion Week: Men's, the dedicated menswear shows at the event.
In 2023, Bode launched its first womenswear line.
