Linked: The New Ethics of Fashion’s Global Supply Chain
Do you know where your clothes have been? In fashionable fairy tales from Cinderella to Project Runway, new looks go straight from the inspired hands of the designer to the body of the wearer. But in real life, apparel is part of a global supply chain that involves sourcing, manufacturing, and shipping — and increased attention to issues of sustainability, safety, and trade agreements such as the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Today, transparency isn’t just a runway trend. International trade and domestic jobs are linked in presidential debates. And supply chain monitoring is more than a hedge against horrible headlines. Amidst this new attention to what goes on behind the seams of the fashion industry, what is the lawyer’s role? Is mere compliance with existing standards sufficient? Or are lawyers the missing link between rapidly evolving social policy and business strategy?
Please join us for a panel discussion, “Linked: The New Ethics of Fashion’s Global Supply Chain.”

The Body Politic: From Banning Burkinis to Designing Democracy
Burkini bans in France and the resulting controversy are a powerful reminder of why fashion plays an important role in politics: what we wear defines who we are, both as individuals and as nations. Are religious rules for fashion consistent with democratic values? How do designers reconcile freedom with faith? Can fashion companies appeal to niche markets without alienating mainstream consumers? And what are the practical and political implications of the ABA’s new anti-discrimination rule? Join us as we launch an ongoing election-season discussion of the role of fashion in public life with “The Body Politic: From Banning Burkinis to Designing Democracy.”
