Met Gala 2019 Exihibt “Camp”

Article by Sharonda Pope

The MET GALA 2019 Exhibit this year theme is “Camp: Notes on Fashion.” Nope, not camp as in sleep away camp with sleeping bags and tents, but camp as in exaggerated fashion. The exhibit is inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay that defines camp as "love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration." Featuring both men's and womenswear, the Met's "Camp: Notes on Fashion" exhibition will feature over 200 pieces of fashion, along with sculptures, paintings, and drawings from the 17th century through today. The exhibit will feature designers from Virgil Abloh to Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Rei Kawakubo, Mugler, Bob Mackie, Karl Lagerfeld, and more. Fresh off the Couture Week runways, the Viktor & Rolf slogan couture gowns that sparked an endless stream of memes will also be on display. The entire 2019 event is being sponsored by Gucci. Gucci's Alessandro Michele along with tennis icon Serena Williams will also be joining pop stars Lady Gaga and Harry Styles as co-chairs of the 2019 gala.
