When one thinks about the fashion industry, it’s easy to picture well-lit runways and shopping malls. But to Dr. Lorynn Divita, associate professor of human sciences and design, clothing is so much more than that. In addition to being a basic need, it’s a resource for self-expression, reflection and communication.
Divita came to Baylor in 2002 as an associate professor of apparel merchandising. Since then, she’s taught a multitude of courses on fashion, each of which speak to the evolution and impact of style.
“Clothing has always been of interest to me, because as an old saying goes, ‘You can be standing silently in a corner, but your clothes are screaming who you are, ” says Divita. “Clothing really is communication, and we reveal so much about our lives just depending on how we are dressed.”
