RUNWAY: Bode SS19

Emily Bode's Spring/Summer 2019 collection was East meets West with influences from subcontinental India in strong focus and juxtaposed with Western sensibilities in the cut of the clothing. The stunning patterns seen on the clothes felt authentic and unique to Bode while a 1950s tailoring aesthetic pervaded the collection. For those fashion-lovers who need a bit of branding, there was some here as well but it felt like an afterthought, one that did not help or advance the brilliant fabrics, patterns and view point of the designer.
