The Best of 2019’s Met Gala
Susan Sontag’s seminal essay ‘Notes on Camp’ (first published in 1964) was the inspiration behind this year’s theme. In the opening pages, Sontag defines camp as “a vision of the world in terms of style — but a particular kind of style. It is the love of the exaggerated, the ‘off,’ of things-being-what-they-are-not.”
