Camp fashion runway

“DEFINITION OF CAMP: something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate, or out-of-date as to be considered amusing; a style or mode of personal or creative expression that is absurdly exaggerated and often fuses elements of high and popular culture.”

Who wouldn't wear a dress made of sewing needles, and a thimble on your head?

Coinciding with the 2019 Met Gala, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's new Costume Exhibit, "Camp: Notes on Fashion" is all about extreme, exaggerated fashion.
