Bode Aujla was born in Atlanta, and spent her childhood living between Georgia and Massachusetts.
Early life and education
Emily Adams Bode was born on June 13, 1989, in Atlanta.[1] Her name was inspired by the 1968 song "Emmie" by Laura Nyro.[2] A descendant of Pilgrims who arrived in America aboard the Mayflower , her parents are both from Massachusetts; her father is a doctor specializing in diabetes, and her mother is a painter and homemaker.[3] She was raised between Buckhead, a suburb of Atlanta, and Truro, Massachusetts, where she spent her summers vacationing on Cape Cod.[4]
From a young age, Bode Aujla displayed an interest in fashion, sketching dresses, creating collages of her favorite styles and models, and participating in weekend handicraft and quilting classes as well as summer fashion programs at Amherst College.[5] She frequently accompanied her mother and aunts to antique stores and seasonal markets in the Southern United States and New England, experiences that she credits with fostering her interest in antiquing and collecting.[6] Initially, Bode Aujla aimed to become a stylist and did not recognize the possibility of a career in design until her senior year of high school.[5] Following her graduation, she spent a year studying at the American School in Switzerland before enrolling in the Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts and Parsons School of Design at The New School in New York City, where she majored in philosophy and menswear design.[7]
Career
Early work
In college, Bode Aujla held internships at Marc Jacobs, where she designed ancillary merchandise such as keychains and swimsuits, and at Ralph Lauren, where she focused on vintage-inspired clothing featuring leather, appliqué, beadwork, and fringe.[8] She also worked as a sales associate at the Isabel Marant store in SoHo and small boutiques in Lower Manhattan, and as a freelancer.[9]
Bode Aujla had been recruited by several American fashion brands before graduating, but Prior to launching her own brand, she had been working as a buyer at a boutique.
The brand was formally launched in 2016. Its initial collection were created from antique textiles. This collection began the brand's cornerstone of storytelling and preservation in American menswear.[10] [11] In February 2017, she was the first female designer to show at New York Fashion Week: Men's, the dedicated menswear shows at the event.[12] [13] She was runner-up in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2018, won the Emerging Designer of the Year title at the CFDA Awards in 2019, and was an LVMH prize and Woolmark prize finalist in 2019 and 2020, respectively.[14]
Personal life
Bode Aujla is married to interior designer Aaron Aujla, cofounder of Green River Project design firm.[15] [16] The two married in the yard of their home. The couple planned the wedding themselves and enlisted the help of their respective brands–Bode designed the menswear, bridesmaid dresses, lobster bibs, and Pagri. The wedding became the inspiration for her 2022 Pre-Fall collection.[17]
