New York-based designer Emily Adams Bode of BODES created a new line of homely clothing for men. The line features re-purposed materials and intentionally lived-in designs. The designer aimed to create clothes that give the feeling of relaxation that comes from previously owned clothing with these new fashion-forward articles.
Featuring new pants, jackets, shirts and sweaters that were all created individually with hand-made detailing and needlepoint stitching. The vintage style may seem worn out, but each article was made with high-quality materials to provide long-lasting statement pieces to be worn, not hung up and admired. By adding feminine lace and quilted fabrics, this line of homely clothing by BODES creates a contrast to classic street-wear apparel.
