Overview

A dress can be copied legally. A stripe can be worth millions. And an Instagram account can spark years of litigation. Fashion is a multi-billion-dollar industry built on creativity - but it survives on law. Behind every runway show, collaboration, and viral campaign lies a web of trademarks, contracts, and regulations that most people never see. From Catwalk to Courtroom pulls back the curtain. Written in plain English by a practicing attorney, this revised and expanded edition tells the story of fashion law through the battles that shaped it: Hermès versus the MetaBirkins NFTs, adidas versus Thom Browne, the Supreme Court's cheerleader-uniform showdown in Star Athletica, Chanel's war on the resale market, and the RICO lawsuits targeting fast fashion. Inside you'll find: 21 chapters spanning copyright, trademarks, publicity rights, licensing, labor, influencer marketing, resale, AI, sustainability, and international trade Case briefs distilling landmark decisions into facts, holdings, and why they matter Practice pointers with real-world guidance on contracts, clearance, and enforcement Current developments - the tariff shock, digital product passports, France's ultra-fast-fashion crackdown, deepfake laws, and the AI copyright rulings Appendices including an enforcement decision guide, a US/EU/UK/China comparison, sample clauses, and a glossary Whether you're a designer protecting your first collection, an entrepreneur building a brand, a law student exploring the field, or an attorney advising creative clients, this book is your map to the legal terrain where creativity becomes commerce. Fashion is culture. Fashion is commerce. And fashion is law.
