The exhibition features colourful spaces, all in vivid shades of pink, blue and yellow.

well as sculptures, paintings and drawings dating from the 17th century to the present.
THE EXHIBITION
There are two distinct parts of the “Camp: Notes on Fashion” exhibit. The first, focuses on the origins of camp from the 19th and early 20th
centuries. The second shows how elements of camp -- including humour, irony and parody -- have been expressed in fashion.
Pieces from designers like Balenciaga, Jean Paul Gaultier and Jeremy Scott are on display, along with notable red carpet looks like Cardi B’s
oyster 2019 Grammy dress and Bjork’s swan dress she wore to the 2001 Academy Awards.
“Camp: Notes on Fashion” exhibit is an exploration of how over-the-top fashion has been used as both a form of expression and escapism
throughout history. It is both a way of seeing the world as an aesthetic phenomenon and a quality present in objects, people, buildings, clothes,
furniture and cultural products such as movies, pop songs and novels. In the latter case, they are works that value style over content.
