The Camp 100: Glorious Flamboyance, From Louis XIV to Lil Nas X

Celebrate the unapologetic, the outrageous, and the utterly fabulous with The Camp 100, a wildly entertaining romp through 100 people, objects, and cultural phenomena that embody the elusive spirit of Camp. With his signature wit and irreverence, author and cultural commentator Simon Doonan unpacks this hard-to-define sensibility—equal parts humor, irony, artifice, and extravagance—spotlighting everyone from Grace Jones to Benjamin Disraeli, and everything from K-Pop to kitschy home décor. Revived by the 2019 Met Gala and more relevant than ever, Camp is explored here not just as a style but as a lens through which to view and survive an all-too-serious world. Beautifully illustrated and hilariously insightful, this book is both a manifesto and a celebration—a joyous invitation to see glamour, absurdity, and brilliance in the most unexpected places.
