The Anniversary Issue, as we are calling it, is a milestone once only dreamed about. A distant possibility has now become something tangible, flourishing into the platform it is today. We are so fortunate to be in a space where rules and proverbial boxes are not really there so we have the beautiful opportunity to make of this what we please. But without the people who have stood by the vision that has become Bode, we would not exist nor continue to transform. Through each released issue, we reinvented all we had known while at the same time maintaining the essence of the vision that sparked this journey. Born to be a new beginning, words cannot quite capture the joys of watching this platform reinvent itself further curating conversation for a global audience through fresh thinking and bold ideas. One year later, the promise is still the same — to commit to visual genius through an optimistic editorial eye, while investing in true story telling through lasting, collaborative relationships.
