The meeting place
The first Monday marks the annual Gala of the Costume Institute, more commonly known as the Met Gala, which is held inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The theme

This year, Camp: Notes on Fashion is the theme that must follow all celebrities invited and this is certainly not the camp we think.

According to the Met's official website, "Through more than 250 objects dating from the seventeenth century to the present day, the Spring 2019 exhibition of the Costume Institute will explore the origins of the camp's exuberant aesthetics. "

"Susan Sontag's 1964 essay, titled" Notes on "Camp," provides the framework for the exhibition, which examines how the elements of irony humor, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality and exaggeration are fashionably expressed ".

Sontag, one of the most respected writers and critics of the twentieth century, defined the camp as "a serious that fails", a "taste for the androgynous" and a "love of the unnatural" ".

In an interview with Jenna Bush Hager Wintour said, "It's interesting to tell people, 'This year's exhibition will be held in the camp,' and they see their minds go away, and they think of hiking shoes, backpacks, a rope. "

She added," This is nothing about nature. That's all that is completely unnatural and false and not really what you think it means. "
