TFG Exclusive: Book of the Month
Wednesday, March 7, 2012 This month, TFG is excited to read Fashion Law: A Guide for Designers, Fashon Executives, and Attorneys. As the global fashion and apparel industry grows to represent a $3 trillion market, lawyers are having to address the industry's specific legal needs and peculiarties. Fashion Law is the first book that provides a comprehensive overview of the practice area.
Divided into four main parts, the book covers the following legal issues:
- Intellectual property protection of fashion
- Fashion and apparel licensing
- Counterfeiting
- Commercial operations and expansion
- Employment law issues in fashion
- Marketing, advertising, and promotion
- Retail Leasing for Fashion
- International Development of the Fashion Business
- Import and customs issues in fashion
The guide also includes the following features:
- Summaries of court cases
- Legal tips fashion designers and executives should establish in conducting their business
- Template agreements illustrating the provisions that owners and managers of fashion business should include in their documents
- Sample clauses to familiarize readers with the legal language
Fashion Law was written by a team of experienced attorneys and legal experts and edited by Guillermo C. Jimenez, a professor at the Fashion Institute of Technoloy, and Barbara Kolsun, General Counsel for Stuart Weitzman. TFG was most impressed by the book's use of primary sources and sample clauses, all of which bring the practice area to life and help the reader navigate through the various legal issues that face the fashion industry. Whether you're an emerging designer launching your own line or a practicing attorney, Fashion Law is an ideal read for anyone who is involved in the legal or business side of the industry.
