'We're experiencing a resurgence of camp - not just in fashion, but in culture in general,' said Bolton. Some of the items in the exhibition might best explain the theme: the 'swan dress' worn by Bjork to the Oscars, a glittering costume worn by flamboyant US singer Liberace, a shower head necklace designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld for Chloe in the 1980s. 'In the end, the purpose of camp is to put a smile on our faces and a warm glow in our hearts.' 'Camp is by nature subversive (.) confronting and challenging the status quo,' the Costume Institute's head curator Andrew Bolton said Monday at a press event about the exhibition before the gala. The museum's exhibition is based on 'Notes on Camp,' an essay written in 1964 by American author Susan Sontag. Lady Gaga's dream theme!

He then blow dried her locks with the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Professional Edition, using the tool's concentrator attachment, which he explained helps to 'dry tha hair quickly and efficiently'. To create the style, Owen first prepped the hair with the Dove Style+Care Volume & Fullness Mousse and the Smooth & Shine Heat Protection Spray to 'protect strands from breakage and to provide an additional healthy glow'. 'The full combination of the gown, striking headpiece, and very long hair make for such an exquisite look.' Gemma and I discussed how Cher is the perfect influence and inspiration as well for this year’s Camp theme. 'I was inspired by Gemma’s Tom Ford gown and it immediately reminded me of some of Cher’s iconic and over the top Bob Mackie gowns from that era.
