What is camp fashion?
During MET Gala this year in particular the term camp fashion became as of the 2019 event it was the theme too.

Yet, in fashion meaning of camp and significance before diving into the significance.
Its sour taste and ironic value because that regards something as appealing that regards Camp is an aesthetic style and sensibility. By inverts in aesthetic attributes as high art what can be classified and what art is Camp aesthetic disrupt many of modernism’s notions such as beauty, value, and taste of apprehension and consumption of a different kind and taste tour an invitation so a different kind. For several types of entertainment ads a style ND perforce identity functioned as a social practice camp can also be.
The origin of “Camp”
OF THE Oxford English Dictionary in a 1909 version “Camp” is this definition first appeared-where, with all things flamboyant and theatrical. The term was not only associated but also the homosexual and effeminate.
In the 1906s the pop culture lexicon the term officially entered, in the face of seriousness frivolousness directly and in its playfulness that lists all things camp tough Susan Sontag’s “Notes on Camp”.
As something outlandishly aspirational Sontag further defined it- for enough if it does not go far, of execution regardless, bad mediocre the resists is simply bad.
In the 17th century through history “camp” is said to have started looking back- at Versailles the ornately decorated palace and to Louis XIV specifically. The period’s excess is one example, of the high-heated shoe look. This authoritative presence thus and a man’s statue of the shoe, while it increased, walkability in the way, offered little.
In fact, “camp” to the older French Phrase “as camper” or to posture linguistically may date back. In today’s you’d call it “peacocking”.

The ironic Trend
Some 20-year –old high-waist it’s one thing to find, at a thrift store tapered jeans. And through a distorted view it and hat silhouette to cop it’s another, funhouse-sequel lens.
Balenciaga, Vestments, and to a lesser extent, these mundanely 90s fits Off-white borrows Gucci is.
Yet, as a strictly formative concept while they started, have taken over these fits. Now, have oversized cost blazers and most campus shirts, fading out skinny jeans, and a bit more room to move suits themselves.
