The theme this year is Camp: Notes on Fashion, an homage to Susan Sontag’s seminal 1964 essay Notes on "Camp", which the exhibition takes as it’s bible. At the heart of camp is “its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration.” Camp rejects notions of high art and revels in theatrics, in parody and irony and pastiche. Think gaudy costume pieces, feathers, glitter, tulle, boas. Think Oscar Wilde saying, “everything in moderation, including moderation.” From Lupita Nyong'o's divine Divine-inspired make-up to Jared Leto holding his own head, Michael Urie's Victor/Victoria transformation to Joan Collins going as her character from Dynasty, here we round-up those people who delivered the most glorious hair-raising, breath-taking (on theme) beauty looks last night.
