What is camp fashion? Ten designers that go all in on camp
What is camp fashion?
Camp fashion or more is more is more. Camp is a celebration of exaggeration. Fetishized silhouettes, opulent fabrics, and proportions that go against retail standardization.
In Susan Sontag’s famed essay, and the inspiration behind the 2019 Met Gala, “Notes on ‘Camp” (1964), she emphasizes the elements of camp as those of shocking excess and theatricality.
Camp is an overkill. It’s overindulgence and exorbitance; it’s also fabulously fun to take part in. Ideal for a board meeting or job interview? Maybe not; but if you’re keen for a bit of excess, why not dip your toes in a bit camp?
So for those whose style would never be described as understated, here are ten designers who are fully indulging in camp. Why not give them a go? Life’s too short for monochrome.
