FASHION BUSINESS SERIES: Selling Your Products in Stores - From Consignment to Commercial Leasing

In the digital city of San Francisco, we often find ourselves talking about e-commerce strategies. For fashion companies, in-person sales are also essential for gaining new loyal customers. Having your products in a store allows shoppers to casually discover and interact your brand. This presentation will offer you an overview of options for getting your products in front of potential customers. We’ll cover consignment, street vendors, pop-up shops, and commercial leasing. You’ll learn how to make the most of these opportunities by having the right questions to ask retailers and commercial landlords. We’ll also discuss event planning and marketing, to help you draw those customers in. You’ll walk away with new insights on business development strategies and the legal resources to help you achieve your goals. With attorneys: Alex King: Small Business & Startup Attorney at Bend Law Group and Rachel Fischbein founder of Law On The Runway. >>> RSVP TO ATTEND!

Fashion Law Boot Camp For Fashion Professionals, Attorneys, and Law and Design Students - San Francisco, California

For the first time ever, the Fashion Law Institute in New York is partnering up with Levi Strauss & Co. in San Francisco to offer a six-day intensive fashion law course geared to fashion professionals, attorneys, and law and design students.

The Fashion Law Institute, based at Fordham Law School in New York, had never offered this program outside of New York. “After three years of planning this, we’re quite excited,” said Susan Scafidi, the Fashion Law Institute’s founder, in an email.

The boot camp—which will cover topics such as intellectual-property rights, copyrights, trademarks, finance, business, government regulations and civil rights—will take place Aug. 4–9 at Levi’s Plaza in downtown San Francisco.

There will be guest lecturers from the fashion industry as well as attorneys who have worked in this discipline.

“Since its launch in 2010, we have been looking forward to helping the Fashion Law Institute in its efforts to share knowledge and information,” said Thomas Onda, chief intellectual-property counsel at Levi Strauss, who spearheaded Levi’s collaboration.

In Southern California, Loyola Law School recently started offering a concentration of fashion law classes at its downtown Los Angeles campus. In late July, the law school will offer a 10-day intensive fashion law seminar.
