Explaining the Met Gala’s “Camp” theme through Gucci outfits

The theme for next year’s Met Gala is out and it’s going to be campy. Formally named “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” which is inspired by Susan Sontag’s Notes on ‘Camp,’ the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute will be exhibiting pieces that have elements of “irony, humor, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality, excess, extravagance, nostalgia, and exaggeration.”

Now, this theme isn’t as on-the-nose as “Heavenly Bodies” was. But one great example of campy fashion is Gucci, which is sponsoring the Met Gala 2019. Time describes the label’s style as “whimsical and ostentatious.” You can see it through Alessandro Michele’s over-the-top silhouettes, kitschy bootleg design, and how he incorporates unconventional elements like the Paramount Pictures logo and photos of cats on sweaters.

Another “Camp” muse is Lady Gaga, who will also co-chair the Met Gala next year. As Out Magazine puts it, the singer’s career “has essentially been a meditation on the meeting of camp and high art.”

The next Met Gala will be on May 6, 2019, while the exhibit will run from May 9 to Sept. 8, 2019. What do you think of the 2019 theme?
