Edonis 28,718 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I'm afraid so many of y'all are going to be upset with Gaga's look if she doesn't look "pretty" with her outfit Camp is totally the opposite of that and most of the posts I've seen on this forum (not necessarily yours OP) suggest the typical "pretty/glamorous" looks. I have a feeling she's going to get really out there with the fashion because Gaga is camp and this is totally on brand for her. I'm excited nonetheless though!

These are more "I want Gaga to slay like back in 2010!!11!!" typical monster thoughts. Plus she wore this entire look already: I understand the theme perfectly thank you, please knock off the patronizing fashion equivalent of mansplaining attitude. For the billionth time, they are camp. I chose that look in particular because it's reminiscent of 90s drag ballroom culture. It screams homosexual and theatrical and drag to me. camp synonyms: exaggerated, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual My chosen looks are every single one of these. The black and white Dior one (I think it is, I'm no expert- not to say I don't understand the theme though) is giving me Cruella De Vil campy over the top realness. Plus, like I said before, you'll get those like Selena who will just turn up in a pink dress with boots that don't match for "distasteful edge" or something. And there'll be people wearing the huge neon tulle dresses, yeah that's camp but predictable and not thread worthy in my opinion because it seems too predictable to make a thread about. The looks I chose IMO are the sort of over the top, theatrical Gaga looks that no one else would be wearing because they'd be too busy with neon. Take your fashion guru "I'm better than everyone else" fury out somewhere else, like gimme a break, fashion is subjective and this theme is subjective and broad.

Most people seem to be tearing my ideas down. I think she'll go with something classic and theatrical. That sort of camp.

Her Makeup at the met has also been atrocious before u know ur makeup artist done ****ed up when you make someone double ur age look young (srsly what's with the eyebrows?) I think they were going for a Chinese Opera look with the eyebrows (given the theme was China: Through The Looking Glass), and I think it looked great. I loved the 2015 look so much.

kabirartfling 9,063 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 She is so not wearing Dior! My bet is on Gucci or versace this time! I think it's gonna be extravagant but still classy cuz that's her zone lately! I hope it's a Victor and rolf piece but who am I kidding Give your love to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doppelganger 3,862 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 As much as i love Galliano, Gaga doesn’t need the controversy of wearing his designs. Not at this point. I’m hoping for something campier and possibly vintage, but she’ll probably end up wearing custom Gucci. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,512 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 In my opinion, these two dresses could be considered the most"campy" out of those you posted because of the way they reference an exaggeration of an instantly recognizable character: This one, who is like an over-the-top A-line 40s housewife and this one, who is the Queen to end all Queens It's so hard to define though If a word needs an entire ****ing essay to define it, maybe it's not such an agreed-upon concept after all. I think of "camp" as just the zeitgeist of the gay fashion of the moment. Its definition seems to be always-changing and nebulous at best I've taken a few dips in the lady pond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you're La Maison Gaga doesn't make your word gospel sis LIKE THERE IS NO WAY THIS ESPECIALLY ISN'T CAMP You‘re quite aggressive and hateful towards me and my brand, only because I don‘t seem to agree with your views of Camp? Quite immature. How about you discuss this with me as a person, instead of adressing me and trying to tear me down for having a page? I, in not any sort of way, feel superior or better than any of you for owning a page about fashion. I don‘t disagree with your views to make you look dumb and wrong. I disagree with your views simply because Camp has a different meaning to me. Calm down a notch and learn how to handle other people‘s opinions. This is a discussing board after all. A forum.

I like how simple the description in English is. Please compare that to the German one (translation beneath ): "Camp ist eine stilistisch überpointierte Art der Wahrnehmung kultureller Produkte aller Art (Film, Musik, Literatur, Bildende Kunst, Mode, Schminke etc.), die am Künstlichen und der Übertreibung orientiert ist; oft gehören die als „campy“ erlebten Werke der Trivial- oder Populärkultur an, die hier jedoch nicht (nur) gedankenloser Zerstreuung dient, sondern eine ästhetische Aufwertung erfährt." "Camp is a stylistic hyperpointed way of the perception of cultural products of all kind ( film, music, literature, visual arts, fashion, makeup, etc.) which are oriented on the artificial and the exaggeration; often the as "campy" experienced works belong to the trivial and pop culture, which not (just) serve as a thoughtless dispersion, but undergo aesthetic improvement" I translated it by myself and I don't understand a single word and I want to simplicity of the English version in the German one OT: I honestly don't care what she's gonna wear ( hey, that rhymes ). But I hope she'll give a little tease of the LG6 looks . But I'm gonna be mad if she just wears her Enigma outfit to promote the show Ew, David!

Babel 41,226 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I think a lot of people have a very “soft” way of thinking camp. I want her to purposely look “bad”. It’ll be much more powerful statement than her wearing a cute McQueen dress and disappearing in the crowd just like she did in 2015 and 2016. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
