The Costume Institute and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has announced the theme "Camp: Notes on Fashion, ” which is inspired by Susan Sontag’s essay “Notes on ‘Camp. ’
In the essay, Bolton mentioned camp fashion as "love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration. . . style at the expense of content. "
Met Gala 2019 will be co - chaired by Lady Gaga, Harry Styles, Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele, Serena Williams, and US Vogue editor - in - chief Anna Wintour. Camp: Notes on Fashion will be held on May 6 at the annual Met Gala.
Vogue announced that the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2019 Costume Institute exhibit — and therefore the theme for the 2019 Met Gala — would be centered around all things campy, which means we can expect a wide array of exaggerated and theatrical outfit choices. Basically, it will be a sight of 'over - the - top' fashion.
Few Quotes that inspired Met Gala 2019 theme are as follows -
1. "Camp is a woman walking around in a dress made of three million feathers. ”
2. “Camp sees everything in quotation marks. ”
3. “The relation of Camp taste to the past is extremely sentimental. ”
4. “The whole point of Camp is to dethrone the serious. Camp is playful, anti - serious. ”
5. “The androgyne is certainly one of the great images of Camp sensibility. ”
