# Artistically Poetic Menswear Lines BODE Utilizes Creative Prints in Its Spring/Summer 2019 Capsule By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-12-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-prints References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/bode-ss19-lookbook/#slide-9) & [bodenewyork](https://www.bodenewyork.com/) Creative prints and mismatched patterns dominate the Spring/Summer 2019 collection by contemporary fashion brand [BODE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-x-bode). The garments prove to entertain a breezy and lightweight silhouette that is ideal for the warm months. Moreover, the vibrant and busy aesthetic make the offerings exceptionally playful and attention-captivating. The mismatched creative prints boldly add an artistically poetic quality to the composition. The inspiration behind BODE's Spring/Summer 2019 fashion collection lies in [Indo-Canadian heritage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-fw25). An undoubtedly interesting perspective and topic, designer Emily Bode offers an intimate exploration of "long-time collaborator Aaron Aujila." Striking, noticeable and chic, the exotic patterns add a potent cultural connotation to the collection. While the creative prints are elegantly paired up in BODE's lookbook, the pieces will prove to be fabulous even as stand-alones. BODE's styles are scheduled to drop in January of 2019.
