Fashion Law Gets Accredited!

Ms. Susan Scaffidi has done it again!  She continues to take our beloved niche to the next level, with the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham School of Law now offering an LL.M. in Fashion Law.  An M.S.L. for nonlawyers will be offered as well.

Offering part-time and full-time programs, this feat is a major step for the fashion law niche.  After opening the Fashion Law Institute in 2010, the notariety and reality of its need became clearer and clearer.  I even had the joy of attending the annual Symposium in  2013.  It was amazing!  Fashion trailblazer  Diane von Furstenberg will provide seed money for the program and continue as an advisor to the Institute.  She's been pivitol to its success from the start.

Congrats a zillion to Fordham and the Fashion Law Institute.  We're so excited about this next step!

The Movement Continues!

It wasn't all that long ago our Fashion Law Friend Staci Riordan wrote about The Movement that is Fashion Law.  She noted how the niche is growing and something to be taken quite seriously.  Literally following in the heels of Susan Scafidi, who is beyond major in putting our niche on the map, the reality of fashion law is continuing to make waves.

At the hands of Staci, Loyola Law School in California will be launching the Fashion Law Project--a department in the law school dedicated to this stylishly growing field of law.  We are so excited for Staci, and the many law students who will get the chance to study Fashion Law at Loyola.  

The Fashion Law Project, like its big sister in NYC, the Fashion Law Institute, will include classes like Fashion Law Business Transactions, Fashion Modeling Law, and even a Fashion Law Clinic.  

As you all know, Fashion Law is really the reason this blog exists.  Seeing this niche grow the way it has and continues to, will keep us bringing you all the Fashion Law news, updates, and runway shows you need to stay in the know.

Can't wait to see where the next Fashion Law program will pop up!!

Happy Birthday Fordham Fashion Law Institute!!

Not too long ago, fashion law was a twinkle in our eye.  And now the Fashion Law Institute, a landmark fixture in the industry, is turning 2 years old!  We are so excited about this feat.  For those of us who love fashion law, we know how important this is.

Our fashionable trailblazer in fashion law, Susan Scafidi, set out to make this Institute her baby, and has taken it all the way down the catwalk.  I got the privilege of visiting and was beyond amazed at what she has put her stiletto print into.  Glamorous kudos to her!  

In addition to being the author of Counterfeit Chic, she is also the brains and fashionable attorney/Academic Director behind the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham Law School.  For years, so many of us just wanted a class on fashion in law school--now, we have an entire Institute.  The Institute offers a clinic, bootcamp, and help to the fashion district, and seminars for practicing attorneys living and loving the field.  It also happens to be located right in the Fashion District.  How perfect!

Happy Birthday!!
