Brand Highlight: RHODE

It’s said that some of the best ideas come from solving a personal problem. That’s just what best friends and Rhode Co-Founders Phoebe Vickers and Purna Khatau did. In 2014, Phoebe and Purna couldn’t find anything they loved to wear. It seemed like all the options were trend-driven, overly detailed, and instantly dated. And so, Rhode was born out of a slow meditation on what it means to get dressed - with beauty, confidence, and above all, comfort. 

Taking inspiration from handmade vintage prints, directional yet wearable silhouettes, and the concept of feminine joy, there’s something special and soulful infused in every Rhode design. It’s that undeniable feeling of discovering something different and something real - you just know it when you spot a Rhode piece.

With a loyal following and vast appeal, Rhode pieces are made for eating pasta and hitting the dance floor. It’s about dressing for both a spontaneous Saturday stroll and packing for a long getaway you’ve planned for months. It’s for the woman who relishes discovering something exceptional. Because you never know where life will take you, rely on Rhode.

Our must-have RHODE pieces for Fall/Winter 2022: 

Ester Dress: This dress is made to swing and sway, thanks to its lightly puffed sleeves, a deep v-neck, and a fitted slinky bodice that flows to a high/low hem. The spirited Shetland Pony Print gives an autumn-ready vibe and inspiration from Renaissance-era tapestries to complete that darkly romantic look. Galloping horses in muted red are juxtaposed against an icy blue background allowing for a striking pop of color. ($565)

Zadie Dress: Meet Zadie, the ultimate party dress. At once modest and alluring, fall’s new favorite features a high mock neckline and deep keyhole detail and is finished with a cascading ruffle at the side. In classic black velvet, it will be your new favorite LBD. ($475)

Varja Dress: Varja is a study in understated femininity in matte black. Featuring elbow-length sleeves with origami details, it’s accentuated with ruffles at the bodice that feel polished but not overdone. An instant wardrobe workhorse, it works for casual and extra-special affairs alike. ($475)

Serena Dress: Designed with a fitted bodice that descends into a full-tiered skirt, the Serena dress is destined to make a statement at your next special occasion. The Autumn Fern print in black was inspired by the darkly romantic interior of a castle in Scotland with a modern take on wallpaper florals. The faded blue blooms against a black background give it a well-worn, antique look that signals its specialness. ($595)

I opened Bishop in the fall of 2011 - just over ten years of experiencing my daily dose of retail therapy! After I graduated from the University of Mississippi, I moved up to New York City and started my career in television. Working for MTV, VH1, and The Martha Stewart Show – whilst dreaming of being my own boss. After getting hitched and moving to Old Town, I knew it was the perfect time to make my dream a reality. Bishop has evolved from a shoe store to a micro-department store – dressing out customers head-to-toe.
