Bode SS27 is a cowboy-inspired fashion collection referencing the American West between 1865 and the 1890s through Western motifs, ornate detailing, and durable materials. The range includes a brown cow-print bikini and jacket, alongside a men's jacket and shorts set with matching green trims and a striped green T-shirt. Other textiles feature colorful graphics depicting rope tricks and horses, while a gray animal print is overlaid with blue cowboy figures shown mid-lasso. The collection continues the Western references established in the FW26 Rodeo Bodeo concept while adapting them across contemporary silhouettes.
Suede and leather fringe appear across riding pants, jackets, and a red blouson with a decorative yoke. Denim remains central through a camp-collar long-sleeve shirt detailed with star rivets at the pocket and a chore jacket finished with folk-style trims around the collar, pockets, and cuffs. T-shirts, trousers, and tailored pieces provide additional core garments within the range.
