FASHION LAW

Legal knowledge and practice for fashion
7th Edition

Managing Fashion & Luxury companies requires a deep understanding of the legal framework that is characterizing the core internal processes of the companies, as well as the relations with clients and other external parties. Thanks to the participation of both academics and industry insiders, the "Fashion Law" course will focus on the introduction of the main fashion business models and the processes of collection and product development, in order to concentrate on the key industry-based legal issues from a practical point of view:

- brand protection and different typologies of trademarks' protection, as well as other intellectual property rights that can be used to protect fashion creations and models;

- fashion negotiation and specific agreements for the industry;

- supply chain issues: from advertising to the digital fashion processes;

- the “made in” discipline, the crime issues such as brands and products counterfeiting and fashion forgery.

The course will be constantly carried out with practical cases (litigations, contacts, benchmarks and simulations with managers and lawyers of the fashion industry) and concluded with final mock trials. The setting is Milan, the Italian and European fashion capital, combining together fashion companies and legal offices supporting the industry.

Dreams come true! Fashion Law course at Milano Fashion Institute was intense, deep, practical and exciting.

More than 20 amazing professors & guests from the Fashion Industry, for 120 hours shared valuable insights that usually remain behind closed doors.

Yes, lawyers need knowledge about design and sales processes. Yes, they are asked to advise not only on IP protection & contracts but also contribute to sustainability management in action. Yes, the industry is ever changing. And yes, creativity here is a must. Even for the lawyer.

No matter at what stage of professional travel you are, the course will be valuable, if you are targeted to be part of the industry. The diversity of attendee’s backgrounds adds even more value. Things in fashion change so do the course and its lectors. It is adapted each year, to keep up with the fast-passed spirit of the industry. Definitely worth one month in Milano.

The Fashion Law summer course at MFI has far exceeded my expectations. It was organized in such a way as to suit both active legal professionals and recent law graduates, like myself, or even current law students. This intensive and very dynamic course was a perfect blend of law and business, with both fundamental and unique lessons ranging from the basics of IP law to the sociology of consumption or olfactory marketing, to help us understand, in the best way possible and as aspiring fashion lawyers/legal counsels, the environment in which we wish to operate later on.

The emphasis was perfectly put on both theory and practice, through numerous discussions, case studies and exams with renowned professors and guests from the industry. It really is a unique opportunity to learn in a tailor-made environment with very dedicated and passionate professionals and staff.

I can only recommend this course to anyone who would have any interest(s) in the field, or who would simply be willing to get a deeper knowledge of the industry from a legal perspective. Thanks to the theoretical and practical foundation I've acquired throughout this enriching experience, I now feel extremely comfortable to pursue my academic and professional experiences in the field of fashion law.
