What is 'camp'? It's a puffy-sleeved robe decorated like a can of beer. It's a bright peach suit decorated with choo-choo trains, smiling lions and grinning suns. It's ugly as pretty, pop culture as chic. MetGala
," expounded the theme further, defining"camp" through more than 250 objects.
In her 1964 essay"Notes on 'Camp'" , Susan Sontag -- the first person to explore the subject in depth -- makes few explicit references to fashion. Nonetheless, she explicitly states that fashion is one of the arts that"camp taste has an affinity" for.Camp was, for Sontag, not an idea, but a"sensibility" characterized by"love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration." And Sontag's codification does more than support the Met's theme.
