This reflects something of an existential crisis: What, exactly, <em>is<\/em> camp fashion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the show illustrates, camp has been a fabulously festooned presence for centuries, from the absurdly opulent regalia of 17th-century courtiers to the bedazzled frocks on this season\u2019s runways. And unlike the items highlighted in other Costume Institute exhibitions of late, which have zeroed in on relatively niche themes like papal couture and otherworldly high-tech fabrications, camp fashion is readily available to be bought \u2014 and worn \u2014 today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show\u2019s heady concept, and its title, are derived from Susan Sontag\u2019s seminal 1964 essay \u201cNotes on \u2018Camp.\u2019 \u201d That may sound painfully intellectual, but camp is essentially a celebration of pure, pretense-free fun. As vintage dealer Christophe Azemar, of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/le-6-rue-paradis\/\">Le 6 Rue Paradis<\/a>, explains, going back to the word&#8217;s Gallic roots: \u201cThe French verb <em>camper<\/em> means \u2018taking an assured or proud and provocative attitude.\u2019 For me, it\u2019s a philosophy, an intellectualization of frivolity and \u2014 why not? \u2014 a bit of bad taste.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sontag gives numerous examples of the camp spirit, but the most definitive may be this: \u201cIt relishes, rather than judges, the little triumphs and awkward intensities of \u2018character.\u2019 . . . People who share this sensibility are not laughing at the thing they label as \u2018a camp,\u2019 they\u2019re enjoying it.\u201d Camp is about embracing the eccentric, an attitude fashion purveyor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/ricky-serbin-haute\/\">Ricky Serbin<\/a> sums up as \u201cLet the freak flags fly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For fashion collectors, the resulting look is their holy grail. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/oh-jackie\/\">Oh!

The late designer shocked and titillated the \u201980s fashion elite with his whimsical, irreverent parodies of bourgeois finery. \u201cHe ridiculed the industry hierarchies,\u201d says Tiemeyer, noting that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/moschino\/\">Moschino<\/a> embodied \u201ca counterpoint to the myth of what a designer should be, should do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether emblazoning a sober blazer with smiley faces or embellishing a skirt suit with cutlery, Moschino rendered high style with a hearty wink. He himself famously said, \u201cIf you can\u2019t be elegant, at least be extravagant\u201d \u2014 words that, with all due respect to Sontag, epitomize the essence of camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/fashion\/clothing\/evening-dresses\/moschino-couture-hershey-chocolate-bar-runway-gown-new\/id-v_3785821\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/moschino_hershey_768_rnwy_master-634x950.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-333099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/moschino_hershey_768_rnwy_master-634x950.jpg 634w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/moschino_hershey_768_rnwy_master-234x350.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/moschino_hershey_768_rnwy_master-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/moschino_hershey_768_rnwy_master-623x933.jpg 623w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/moschino_hershey_768_rnwy_master.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/fashion\/clothing\/evening-dresses\/moschino-couture-hershey-chocolate-bar-runway-gown-new\/id-v_3785821\/\">Jeremy Scott for Moschino Couture chocolate bar gown, Fall 2014<\/a>, offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/marilyn-glass\/\">Marilyn Glass<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Several of Moschino\u2019s canonical designs feature in the Met\u2019s exhibition, and many of the same pieces have been offered by 1stdibs dealers.
