Fashion has become a key economic sector, due to the high levels of turnover it generates worldwide.  However, with digitalization, this sector is facing new challenges, and given its complexity, it is essential to have adequate legal responses to ensure its protection in all areas that cover the entire value chain: production, logistics, distribution, sale to the consumer, agents involved or image.  This is how the concept of Fashion Law came about, to regulate all aspects that affect the fashion industry.

Fashion Law

Fashion has always been present in our history and culture as a way of expressing part of our personality.

Nowadays, it has become a sector that represents an enormous weight for the world economy. This is why the need arises to establish its relationship with the law, with the aim of guaranteeing its legal protection in all areas.

Thus, the concept of fashion law, also known by its Anglo-Saxon term as Fashion Law, has arisen as a specialty of law that covers all the legal aspects related to the fashion industry, from design, production, logistics, transport to the sales process, even after being delivered to the end consumer.

The concept of fashion is understood in its broadest sense, not being limited exclusively to the textile sector, but also including various categories such as cosmetics, fragrances, jewelry, luxury goods, footwear, and others.

Legal disciplines covered by fashion law

Unlike other branches of law, fashion law does not have a specific regulation but is composed of different legal disciplines, such as labor law, tax law, civil law, new technologies, and above all Intellectual and Industrial Property.

It is essential to identify which legal tools are the most suitable for guaranteeing the protection of all business activity within the fashion sector.

At Navas & Cusí we offer comprehensive and cross-cutting advice on fashion law, aimed at companies in the sector, luxury firms, fashion agencies, online or physical shops, designers, models, and photographers, as well as digital start-ups in the sector.
