2017 Proceedings
St. Petersburg, Florida 2017 Proceedings Motown Style and the American Dream Monica Sklar, PhD and Oloni Binns University of Georgia, USA Keywords: music, costume, Motown, 1960s The challenges of the dress styles of the record label Motown were a symbol of the shifting American Dream of the 1960s. This research evaluates two aspects of the dress history of Motown: the garments’ design and their social context. During Motown’s beginnings in the early 1960’s the glamorous image portrayed by its artists was deemed socially progressive by highlighting African American’s inclusion into American upper echelon status. Yet as the decade evolved Motown’s dress became out of step with the prevailing styles of social movements. The American dream was expanding to focus on civil rights, war, and the environment, thus Motown’s wigs, matching velvet suits, and sequined dresses were contrasting the messaging of the new styles of the era. This research documents the design development process including how the clothing was selected, produced, and where existing pieces are archived. The image making transitioned from do-it-yourself creations to a highly manipulated process of wardrobe stylists, finishing schools, and designer labels. Costumes were homemade such as men’s pants split open to make a matching women’s outfit for the Miracles, and evolved to the use of hip pads and wigs to create an ideal female form (Posner, 2005). By the time Motown reached its prime success, musical acts like the Supremes received an open clothing budget and department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue were shut down for their shopping sprees.
