DESCRIPTION
The international expansion of luxury and fashion products demands that fashion professionals gain knowledge of the essential laws/legal procedures involved in operating a fashion business, as the creation, production, sales and promotion of the fashion product takes place in many jurisdictions around the world, where the laws are as diverse as the countries themselves.
The course will be taught through the use of practical based lectures and workshops, participants will analyze the essential laws/legal procedures that affect the fashion business, including, but not limited to, commercial and company law, intellectual property law, trademark law, employment and labor law, licensing, merchandising, import and export law, distribution agreements, safety, sustainability and consumer protection issues.
