Founded in New York in 2016 by Emily Adams Bode Aujla, BODE has become known for its deeply personal approach to menswear, transforming vintage textiles, antique quilts and rare fabrics into distinctive contemporary garments. The brand’s work bridges fashion, craft and storytelling, with each collection often drawing from historical objects, family traditions and forgotten forms of American design. BODE’s aesthetic is recognisable for relaxed tailoring, richly textured fabrics, patchwork, embroidery and unexpected archival references. Rather than chasing conventional luxury, the house celebrates craftsmanship, individuality and the beauty of imperfection—giving heritage materials a new life through modern silhouettes. For Monarch Avenue, BODE represents a new kind of luxury: thoughtful, artisanal and deeply connected to history, where every garment carries a sense of character and story.
