This book provides an insight into the legal workings of the most ostentatious fashion sector, couture, whilst simultaneously advocating for stronger legal protection in this industry.
Offering an interdisciplinary approach, including art theory from Tolstoy and Rand amongst others, the book examines where couture fashion sits within the law. Most significantly the book considers the couturier as an ‘artist’ and couture as ‘art’ in relation to how this art form may be protected legally by copyright. Reflecting on contemporary issues, recent legal cases are analysed together with legislation, to provide awareness on the current position, and considers implications for the future by suggesting legal frameworks in pursuit of improvements. Using UK Law as a case study, the book also comparatively assesses global fashion law, analysing the legal workings in the EU and the US.
The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of fashion law, copyright law, art and intellectual property.
