I created DressDiversions to share my lifelong interest in the forces that shaped fashion during the 20th and 21st centuries (and sometimes further back in history as well). My interests in clothing and dress are broad, but as I read, travel, and go about life in general, I stumble upon interesting connections that intrigue me.
As a young woman in the early 70s, the world of fashion presented an irresistible path to a career of glitz and glamour. In retrospect, it was humbling hard work, but there are no regrets. My years of experience working in both the clothing industry and fashion academia are the springboard for this discourse, which I will share with you. I hope others will appreciate the insights I continue to discover in exploring the world of clothing and dress.
