Y'all, it's one of the best days of the year... you know behind my birthday (February 13th), Christmas (December 25th), Beyonce's birthday (September 4th)... It's The First Monday in May, which means it's time for the Met Ball Gala!!! You know I've done a deep dive the last two years. Here's 2017's Review and 2018's Review.
Here's what we know:
- Anna Winter approves of literally every person in attendance at the Met Gala (and I just have some questions about credentials, I write from my couch in CA in my pjs)
-This year's theme: "Camp: Notes on Fashion".
- This year, Wintours’ co-chairs include Lady Gaga, Harry Styles, Serena Williamsand Alessandro Michelle.
-The exhibit is inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay that defines camp as "love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration."
- The exhibit: Camp: Notes on Fashion Overview: Through more than 250 objects dating from the seventeenth century to the present, The Costume Institute's spring 2019 exhibition will explore the origins of camp's exuberant aesthetic. Susan Sontag's 1964 essay "Notes on 'Camp'" provides the framework for the exhibition, which examines how the elements of irony, humor, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality, and exaggeration are expressed in fashion.
