Fashion (and luxury) is a global industry worth over a trillion dollars and rising. It presents a significant growth opportunity for developing countries in terms of domestic output and international enterprise. At the same time, it is one of the highest polluting industries and raises many ethical, cultural, and human rights concerns.
On the Fashion Law LLM, you will examine the industry across a range of legal perspectives including intellectual property, commercial law, transactions and licensing, and technology and media, including artificial intelligence (AI) in fashion. You will engage with important questions of social justice and ethics in fashion, including sustainability and environmental impact, diversity and inclusivity, labour laws, consumer protection, fashion activism, and cultural heritage and appropriation. Our teaching is international in focus, allowing you to gain crucial knowledge and understanding of fashion in established and emerging markets, and how the industry operates across borders and cultures.
You will develop key analytical and practical skills as you explore these areas, with a particular focus on developing research skills in digital resources that are used in the fashion and luxury sector.
You will have voluntary access to an excellent series of lectures in Critical Thinking and Writing in Law to help you to improve your writing and research in law skills.
We also offer Fashion Law as a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) and Certificate (PGCert) .
