Bodybag by Jude
Check our website for retailer information
This Montreal-based line of streetwear may have gone more runway chic in recent collections, but designer Judith Desjardins has been praised for keeping her designs ultimately wearable and practical. Launched in 1998, Bodybag by Jude has become a mainstay at Montreal Fashion Week, her Montreal shop and atelier a popular stop for in-the-know shoppers. The latest collection for F/W 09-10 has a distinctively British theme, with tartan plaid showing up on tailored dresses and skinny high-waisted pants, cropped lacquered tweed jackets layered over jersey tops, and luxe draped hoodies in rich cherry red. Fans hoping for a couture version of Bodybag are in luck - last year Desjardins launched her new line called J.U.D.E. Justified Unique Design Experience, which offers a high-end European-influenced take on her signature feminine style.
