A Fashion Law Dinner Party with Fashion by Felicia ·

2025/09/14

New York Fashion Week, and Milan Fashion Week, spotlight new fashion collections but, also, new and recognized faces - the models who wear the clothing and help to create the glamorous lifestyle and aura that brands sell to their consumers. Not all modeling work is glamorous, however, especially if a model finds herself (or himself) at a disadvantage under the contract they have signed with their modeling management agency. To solve the incongruence and opaqueness of modeling contracts and the often

For fashion lawyers and scholars, the Met Gala is a dream hypothetical. This year, it was even more so thanks to the Gala's theme "Tailored to You" and the exhibition the Gala celebrated, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. A celebration of black fashion heritage and black cultural heritage, the looks on the blue carpet raised legal questions. How does the Zoot Suit, a core part of the historic concept of a dandy, spur creativity in fashion thanks to its status as part of the public domain? Can we

What would dupes, authentic fakes, or conceptual fashion that riffs on trademarks and their messages be without the designers who make and create this fashion? In Part II of this Fashion Law Dinner Party we speak with Professor Abigail Glaum-Lathbury from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago about her Project G.U.C.C.I - the Genuine Unauthorized Clothing Clone Institute. “[A] visual primer into copyright and intellectual property law and illustrate systems of exclusion and hegemony.”, Project

Authentic Fakes? Dupes between Law & Heritage

A Fashion Law Dinner Party with Fashion by Felicia ·

2025/01/21

Dupes - fake or replica products that may or may not be legal to produce and sell- seem to be everywhere. Between the "Wirkin", Dupes.com, and beauty dupes, it seems that many consumers are eager to prioritize value by buying "fakes" over brand loyalty and, perhaps, brands' heritage. But, is there a hidden authenticity to buying a fake, a replica, a dupe, of a Birkin bag or similar fashion or luxury product? What is the difference between a knockoff, a dupe, a fake, and other more specific legal

A Fashion Law Dinner Party focused on food and fashion has to have sustainability as a main topic of conversation. To discover the important role that sustainability plays in the food and fashion industries, we travel to Il Borro in Tuscany. A historic medieval village, a hamlet, which, today, preserves tradition, culture and sustainability in the heart of Tuscany as a place of luxurious hospitality, Il Borro is run by a part of the Ferragamo family, including Vittoria Ferragamo, Il Borro's

In the first Fashion Law Dinner Party of 2025, inspired by your New Year's resolutions related to food, we concentrate on the heritage and legal aspects of food and fashion collaborations. How can a fashion brand identity’s match a food product? Can trademark rights in a fashion logo applied to leather goods, and clothing, be expanded to food products as a new category of goods? What about place and a brand’s heritage - are there links to certain territories that can help communicate the

While exploring film and fashion inspired places to visit in Rome and the Italian State's preservation and support of Cinecittà in the first part of this episode, some questions were raised about Italian fashion and Italian film's common origins in early 20th century Italy. Exploring the origins of Italian fashion and film raises complex notions like sprezzatura , a Renaissance concept most recently embodied on screen in Paolo Sorrentino’s Oscar winning movie, La Grande Bellezza. In this episode, we

Two central questions over the holidays include what to wear and what classic movie to watch. In many movies, fashion plays an important role, helping the characters express their identities and narrative arcs. The law also plays a role in films with celebrated fashion moments. Take "Roman Holiday". The ending of this 1950s classic with the fashion icon Audrey Hepburn likely would not have been possible without the rules of copyright law. If Irving had not had the right to effectively gift the

Fashion benefits from a number of source communities, communities from whom cultural practices, traditional knowledge and even artisanship and designs themselves originate.

Following our dinner party with Professor Cathay Smith and a discussion about the fashion law ramifications of reproducing the American flag on clothing and using the American flag as part of fashion expressions, we turn to examining American fashion and style with archivists and fashion historians. What makes American style? What are the origins of an American fashion brand logo? What role does nostalgia have in our conceptions of American fashion heritage?

Having discovered the art, history, and culture of Paris, and its relevance for fashion, the second part of our Parisian Fashion Law Dinner Party turns to French Fashion Law. There is a myth that France extends more legal protection to fashion designs than the U.S. through French copyright law. Is this true? We talk to Laurine Janin-Reynaud, an IP attorney with TAoMA Partners based in Paris, about this legal myth, and more French legal claims, from parasitism to trademark dilution and even the

The American Flag between Fashion, Heritage, and Law

2024/07/01

A central symbol of an American summer is the American flag. With the 4th of July, we find more and more fashion featuring the American flag. But the American flag can also be a part of brands' heritage and identities. Why can artists and fashion designers alike reinterpret the flag and make their own prints or patterns with the flag? Are there any laws that actually circumscribe the use of the American flag? In this episode, we speak to Professor Cathay Smith, a copyright, art law, and cultural

For fashion lawyers and scholars, the Met Gala is a dream hypothetical. What parts of a Met Gala dress might be conceptually separable under copyright law? What additions within reproductions inspired by the archives are original? How might we balance the preservation of antique fabric with a desire to upcycle that fabric into a new gown? These are just some of the issues Felicia Caponigri explores during this dinner party with her colleague Lucrezia Palandri, a fashion law scholar based between

What makes a great partnership between a fashion brand and a cultural institution? In this episode we explore the legal and ethical standards and rules that frame presentations of fashion as part of our wider culture. The presentation of fashion’s cultural significance often happens in a museum, but it can also happen in a public space, like a piazza, where so many fashion shows are staged, or even on a red carpet. During the appetizer and main courses of our dinner party, we speak to Dr. Valerie

Digital Fashion

As fashion accessories go digital, one of the main issues is how to categorize these born digital objects into traditional IP boxes like trademark and copyright. Things can get even more complicated when artists and fashion brands collide in our blurred universe of commerce and culture. What is a trademark use anyway? Can an artist use a trademark in their work or can’t they? Join me for our coffee and dessert course as we speak to Mark McKenna, Vice Dean of Faculty & Intellectual Life Professor
