Decency Exposed: The New Culture Wars
We’re not the fashion police — though we’re asked that question quite often! — but we are keeping a close watch on current developments involving fashion and policing. Join us on the eve of New York Fashion Week for FASHION POLICE, a double-header symposium in partnership with the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. The first panel, “Retail Ransacked: Theft on the Rise,” will address this growing trend, its causes and effects, and strategies and public/private initiatives to combat it. In case you missed our popular event at San Diego Comic Con, we’ll reprise it with our second panel, “Decency Exposed: The New Culture Wars,” an exploration of obscenity, decency, and current regulation of what we do or don’t wear. We look forward to welcoming you back to campus for the first time since the start of the pandemic! Dress code: Clothed, please.

Inside Out 7
I once thought that there were no second acts in American lives, but there was certainly to be a second act to New York's boom days.
Indeed, the entire world is poised for a fresh start after an unanticipated intermission -- but how will the forces of change play out on fashion law's global stage? Our 7th annual February fashion month event, "Inside Out 7: Fashion's in-house counsel on the industry's next act," brings together a distinguished group of counsel from leading fashion companies to share their insights into proposed sustainability legislation, newly revealed perils of boilerplate language, retail security challenges, diversity developments, intellectual property meets digital fashion, and more. We look forward to seeing you online this Friday, February 25, from 8:45-10:00am New York time -- ready to remove our masks and act!
DATE: Friday, February 25, 2022
