As the global fashion and apparel industry has grown to represent a $3 trillion market, a new area of law is required to help guide fashion designers and executives through the legal quandaries peculiar to fashion. This text will address such legal issues as: defining and protecting intellectual property, knock offs, licensing, counterfeiting; agreements such as franchising, distribution, rentals, leasing; handling customs; and creative copyright infringement. It will provide a practical working knowledge to avoid legal disputes and protect rights of fashion executives, managers, and designers. Contributors representing industry and law firms will provide content and case studies for better understanding of legal issues when law meets design.

Outstanding Text

I am a lawyer practicing fashion law, a fashion designer and a professor of Fashion Law at Parsons the New School for Design. I have made this text available to my students in the University's library. It is a great reference book that compliments the course nicely. There are very few books out there on this subject. I suspect more will be written if the Innovative Design Protection and Piracy Prevention Act passes in Congress, and as this area of law evolves, but in the mean time this book is the best on the market.

Educational and Interesting

The book is a must read for anyone who wants to design for fashion or any kind of creative field. It's interesting and doesn't boggle the mind with too much jargon, but still is educational and with examples and explanations. It's things that are completely necessary to know for anyone trying to get into the industry, law or fashion.
