Symposium Round-ups
At the Fashion Law Institute’s 7th Annual Symposium, speakers highlighted an array of cutting-edge developments that could have a substantial impact on the fashion economy in the U.S. and abroad. To address these issues Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney discussed the state of the American fashion sector and called for a comprehensive new lobbying effort, bringing Washington and the fashion world together to design laws best suited to helping the American fashion industry survive and advance.
For more, check out this WWD account of Congresswoman Maloney’s proposal and the symposium rundown in Look Online: Daily Fashion Report, which also provides a summary of each of the day’s panels.

Fashion and Government Need Closer Ties, Maloney Says
WWD
WWD reports on Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney’s call for a new dedicated fashion industry lobby to address the cutting-edge issues raised at the Fashion Law Institute’s 7th Annual Symposium, Fashion Revolutions:
Maloney’s solution: an official fashion industry lobby.
“You’ve got to start an organization that represents all of you and that represents your interests because you’re artists, you’re working all the time, you don’t have time to go to Washington D.C. and tell us,” Maloney said.
Without a lobby and a consensus on some core priorities, Maloney said the fashion industry faces an uphill battle, including with the Garment District rezoning.
“If you don’t become [a lobby] and fight for it, you’re fighting against real estate companies that have billions and billions of dollars and you’re going to lose.”
Berets and Revolution
Our Fashion Revolutions volunteers wore berets bearing the Fashion Law Institute’s award-winning logo — and iD magazine has this to say about the beret’s history and significance as a revolutionary symbol for our today.
Ironically, though, the beret’s most famous wearers have almost all been revolutionaries. In 1960, photographer Alberto Korda captured Che Guevara in Guerrillero Heroico, his most iconic portrait, wearing a black beret embroidered with a commander’s star. The image, which continues to decorate college dorm rooms to this day, cemented the beret as a symbol of resistance. The Black Panther Party also harnessed the hat’s power in the 1960s, claiming it as part of their much-photographed de facto uniform: black beret, black pants, black leather jacket. The Young Lords Party in New York wore purple berets, and the radical Chicano Brown Berets took their name from their signature caps.
And when Beyoncé played the Super Bowl halftime show in 2016, her backing dancers wore black berets in homage to the Panthers, their arms raised in a black power salute. Rudy Giuliani called the performance an “attack” on the police during an appearance on FOX News, and departments throughout the country discussed protesting; other viewers praised the icon’s show of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Puma, United, and Dress Code Trends
New York Times
Vanessa Friedman discusses the changing dress code climate with Professor Scafidi in her latest article for the New York Times.
That tension has always existed, but in the past, the employer has generally won — at least when an individual was acting under the aegis of a brand, or on its behalf. Last year, however, when another dress code brouhaha broke out — this one about a temporary worker in Britain who was sent home for refusing to wear high heels — Susan Scafidi, a professor at Fordham Law School in New York and the founder of the Fashion Law Institute, told me that the pendulum had begun to swing the other way.
As an example, she pointed out that the New York City Commission on Human Rights published new guidelines in December 2015 for the municipal law that prohibited “enforcing dress codes, uniforms, and grooming standards that impose different requirements based on sex or gender” (e.g. If women have to wear heels, so do men).

Last week the Supreme Court issued its long-awaited opinion in Star Athletica v. Varsity -- just the latest in a series of significant legal developments shaping the future of fashion. Join Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney and other fashion industry thought leaders in discussing the revolutionary changes facing the fashion world at the highlight of the fashion law calendar, our 7th Annual Symposium on March 31, 2017.

Idea-ologies: Recent trends in fashion & intellectual property litigation
Last year’s Fashion Law Institute symposium took place on the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court decided to hear Star Athletica v. Varsity, the now historic case about copyright and cheerleader uniforms, and that was just the first of a series of high-profile fashion and IP cases that occupied courtrooms over the following months. Samsung v. Apple, Converse v. ITC, Louis Vuitton Malletier v. My Other Bag, and Jenny Yoo’s convertible bridesmaid’s dress lawsuits – do these and other disputes signal a revolutionary new approach to intellectual property jurisprudence or a return to familiar legal principles? Industry insiders launch the day with a discussion of the latest developments and scope out what lies ahead.
11am-12:15pm
Mercenary Matters: Technology and the changing world of retail
From smart mirrors to connected dressing rooms, the tech revolution that initially allowed us to shop anywhere, anytime is now changing the in-store retail environment. But can stores win back the allegiance of consumers? Will the ongoing war between clicks and bricks lead to a retail armageddon or an omnichannel détente? On the other hand, can online shopping ever provide a satisfactory answer to the boutique experience or the real-world store’s ultimate weapon: the opportunity to try before you buy? And what will be the influence of wearable tech on how the full spectrum of fashion is marketed? Join leaders on the front lines of fashion law and retail as they share their strategies for deploying retail technology and capturing the customer of the future.
12:15-1:45pm
LUNCH
1:45-2:45pm
Freedom Fighters or Anarchists? Tailoring legal ethics to an era of deregulation
U.S. federal regulations are facing the firing squad as the forces of deregulation mount a fresh offensive against the power of the administrative state, including a controversial executive order requiring that every new regulation be counterbalanced by the elimination of two old ones. With potential effects on the fashion industry ranging from the end of the Dodd-Frank conflict mineral disclosure requirements and possible sidelining of proposed cosmetics law reform to the weakening of environmental, employment, and data privacy regulations, do lawyers have a responsibility to fill the legal void, or is legal liberation itself a social good?
3-4pm
Border Wars: Fashion, global trade, and the new isolationism
Trade relations have become contested territory. The past year has heralded Brexit, President Trump’s proposed border adjustment tax, the death of the TPP, and an uncertain fate for NAFTA. What the shift from expansive internationalism to protectionist isolationism will mean for fashion remains unclear, but the status quo is poised to change dramatically. And given the global nature of the fashion industry – in the U.S. alone, 97% of all clothing and footwear is manufactured outside the country – the stakes are significant.
4:15-5:15pm
Grassroots Uprising: Frontiers and landmines for fashion entrepreneurs
Fashion law is about more than courtroom battles, legislative skirmishes, or even international relations. It can both empower and impede designers as they seek to conquer new markets, and the most effective advisor is one who can help entrepreneurs use law to their tactical advantage at a time of sweeping changes. Arm yourself for the revolution as a stellar panel of fashion industry leaders joins U.S. Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, a leading advocate for the industry in Congress, to explore the cutting edge of legal and business strategy.

SCOTUS: Expressions Hair Design’s Free Speech
Expressions Hair Design fought the law — and won, at least for now. The Supreme Court has weighed in on the New York statute prohibiting businesses from advertising a mark-up for credit-card fees and found that it did indeed regulate free speech. But does that mean the law is unconstitutional?
Not necessarily. The full opinion is below; note not only that the case is now remanded for consideration of the law’s constitutionality, but that the Court also suggests in a footnote that the law might have been found unconstitutional on other than free speech grounds if the argument had been raised earlier.
