Ostensibly inspired by the opulence and gilded extravagance of circus wagons produced from 1824 to 1940 by the Bode Wagon Company in Cincinnati, the show was, in fact, a safe and predictable riff on the whimsy Ms. Bode has mined before from folk art, found objects and vintage textiles (no designer has ever gotten more mileage out of an old tablecloth.)
