SUMMARY:Consuming Fashion: Fibres and Fun in the 1960s
DESCRIPTION:The next installment in the seminar series from Deakin University\, Australian Catholic University and Old Treasury! ‘Material Histories’ presents new scholarship from a wide range of speakers\, all united by their passion for objects! \nThe 1960s is a period defined by change. An era of unprecedented growth in youth culture and synthetic fibres saw the birth of two fashion icons: Barbie and Woolmark. During this online talk event\, we’ll delve into the history and impact of these two fashion giants. \nFirst Speaker\nPlaying with Barbie: Youth fashion and child’s play in the 1960s\nwith Dr Pauling Hastings\nMattel’s Barbie doll launched in Australia in 1964\, a time of unprecedented growth in the youth fashion market. Dubbed “The Teenage Fashion Model Doll\,” Barbie modelled teenage lived experience and aspirations to children\, challenging traditional images of postwar femininity and motherhood. For Barbie\, fashion enabled possibility. Through her expanding fashionable wardrobe\, Barbie reinforced new ideas on sartorial style\, fun and alternative women’s roles.\nDr Pauline Hastings is a Professional Historian and independent scholar. Her work on Australia’s postwar manufacturing\, marketing and consumption of fashion and textiles connects the material to broader histories of society\, culture and the economy. \nSecond Speaker\nFashioning Australian wool: the Wool Fashion Awards and Woolmark in Australia’s 1960s\nwith Dr Lorinda Cramer\nAustralian wool stood a fashion crossroads in the 1960s. On the one hand\, exciting new synthetic fibres linked with modernity and youth culture had electrified the clothing market. On the other\, initiatives directly focused on regaining wool’s footing strengthened. This included the Wool Fashion Awards that had launched the previous decade and the introduction of the Woolmark symbol in Australia in 1966. Both extended wool’s appeal for Australian consumers by creating a glamorous\, fashionable and high-quality image for the natural fibre.\nDr Lorinda Cramer is a lecturer in Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies at Deakin University. Her work explores the worn and material histories of Australian wool\, the gendered dimensions of dress and textiles\, and historical examples of sustainable fashion and waste in museum collections. \nMaterial Histories is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Deakin University and Australian Catholic University. \n‘Consuming Fashion: Fibres and Fun in the 1960s’ is presented as part of Melbourne Fashion Week.
