Her namesake label founded in 2016 expresses “a sentimentality for the past through the study of personal narratives and historical techniques.” Bode’s clothing often sees the use of workwear silhouettes, vintage craftsmanship, and a variety of textiles. Also under consideration for the award were Amiri’s Mike Amiri, Fear of God’s Jerry Lorenzo, Thom Browne, and Willy Chavarria.
