An evening with acclaimed menswear designer Emily Adams Bode Aujla, an innovator in textile and craft conservation and the re-use, study, and preservation of antique lace. Bode, in conversation with Threads of Power curators Emma Cormack and Michele Majer, will explore the importance of the archive in contemporary lace fashion and how the craft of lacemaking connects us to our past, present, and future.

She continues to reinvigorate American menswear through the art of storytelling and preservation with these foundational one-of-a-kind pieces alongside collections of historical reproductions. Bode has been recognized with numerous awards, including 2021 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Menswear Designer of the Year, 2020 Woolmark Prize: Karl Lagerfeld Award, 2019 Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) Prize Finalist, 2019 CFDA Emerging Designer of the Year, 2019 Business of Fashion 500, 2019 GQ's Breakthrough Designer of the Year, and Forbes 30 Under 30.
