Fashion Law Week 2013

March 1st check me out on the runway at Fashion Law Week in D.C.!

Fashion Law Week (FLW) is an annual educational legal symposium dedicated to engaging students and the community in the discussion surrounding legal issues within thefashion industry. Over the last decade,Fashion Law has emerged as a more respected and relevant field of law. From the advent of several Federal legislative attempts to extend copyright-like protection to fashiondesigns, to the detrimental global economic effects of counterfeiting, the legal issues within the fashion industry have undoubtedly affected many of us. Fashion Law Week wants to continue the movement to educate designers, students, practitioners, fashion aficianados, academia, and the community about the legal issues within the fashion industry. FashionLaw Week is the first and only week in the nation devoted to educating the community about the field of Fashion Law. Tickets are on sale now via Eventbrite!
