Description
Camp – Notes on Fashion at The Metropolitan Museum
The Costume Institute’s spring 2019 exhibition will explore the origins of the camp aesthetic, and how it has evolved from a place of marginality to become an important influence on mainstream culture. Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay Notes on “Camp” provides the framework for the exhibition, which will examine how fashion designers have used their métier as a vehicle to engage with camp in a myriad of compelling, humorous, and sometimes incongruous ways.
The exhibit will also feature some of the Cher’s most spectacular outfits—made by her ride-or-die designer, Bob Mackie.
