APPLIQUE FRUIT BUNCH SHIRT

Started by Emily Adams Bode in 2016, BODE is a brand that links the sentimentality and artisanship of yesteryear with modern takes on classic silhouettes. By repurposing historic materials from the past and reimagining them in a new context, BODE's pieces carry a dream-like, ethereal aura. From work jackets and pants surgically crafted from antique quilts to the excavation, celebration, and reinterpretation of Indiana's senior chord trend from the early to mid 20th century, Bode's reinterpretations are the perfect vehicle to highlight her eye for design while shining a spotlight on old textiles, arguing for both their beauty and their relevance in luxury menswear today.

This shirt is inspired by a tea towel from the 1930s-1950s. The contrast piping and fruit-and-vegetable appliqué of the original have been faithfully reproduced here. Each appliqué piece is made from fabric scraps and hand-applied.
