Drawing from Susan Sontag’s seminal essay, this striking volume explores its meaning and its expression in fashion from its origins to today “[An] amazing catalogue. . . . Extraordinary.”—Christiane Amanpour, CNN Although an elusive concept, “camp” can be found in most forms of artistic expression, revealing itself through an aesthetic of deliberate stylization. Fashion is one of the most overt and enduring conduits of the camp aesthetic. As a site for the playful dynamics between high art and popular culture, fashion both embraces and expresses such camp modes of enactment as irony, humor, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality, and exaggeration. Drawing from Susan Sontag’s seminal essay “Notes on Camp,” the book explores how fashion designers have used their métier as a vehicle to engage with the camp aesthetic in compelling, humorous, and sometimes incongruous ways. As a sartorial manifestation of the camp sensibility, this thought-provoking publication contributes new theoretical and conceptual insights into the camp canon through texts and images. Stunning new photography by Johnny Dufort highlights works by such fashion designers as Virgil Abloh, Thom Browne, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Alessandro Michele, Franco Moschino, Miuccia Prada, Richard Quinn, Yves Saint Laurent, Elsa Schiaparelli, Jeremy Scott, Anna Sui, Gianni Versace, and Vivienne Westwood.

Must Have Book For the Fashionista - Wonderful collectible book from the 2019 Met Gala theme CAMP. It is a gorgeous book with fabulous illustrations and photography from the exhibit exceptionally well written by the team at The Met Costume Institute. Worth it! Review: You need this in your fashion library! - I regretted not buying this book when visiting the exhibit on opening day, however I’m glad I was able to find it here at a fraction of the retail cost. This is my favorite Met exhibit publication after the McQueen Savage Beauty book. It adds a fun pop of pink to your library, and the dual paperback interior inserts feature some of the most colorful, joy inducing designs you’ll ever see. A must have for all fashion lovers! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,480,181 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,023 in LGBTQ+ Demographic Studies #2,541 in Collections, Catalogs & Exhibitions #2,874 in Fashion Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 235 Reviews | ## Images ![CAMP: Notes on Fashion - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YHTqsXwxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent!
