Rosie Burbidge has produced the ultimate guide to navigate the various aspects of laws which apply directly to the fashion industry. Designed to serve actors of the fashion world in their day to day conducting of their business, European Fashion Law provides an essential and practical step by step understanding of the legal pitfalls which can be avoided if you know them. Rosie has relied on her extensive experience as an IP practitioner to offer an accessible and pedagogical tool, managing the incredible feat not only of avoiding jargon but daring to mix in a delightful spoonful of fun and humour to help the medicine go down! -- Olivia Dhordain, founder of Outboxing IP, Switzerland Fashion is a complex cultural industry and that complexity characterises the field of fashion law. In European Fashion Law, Rosie Burbidge translates that complexity into an accessible and essential volume for all those interested in the field, from experts to those new to the field. Burbidge covers the enormous complexity of fashion law and organises it carefully and methodically, making this work an indispensable resource for all readers. The book is enriched by Burbidges own experience and expertise in practice, together with her critical awareness and understanding of the industry itself, and her keen intellectual curiosity in the dynamic relationship between the industry and the legal and regulatory environment for fashion. This brilliant book is now fully updated in its second edition and is an invaluable addition to any library. It is an essential resource reaching across the breadth of the industry, from students to practitioners to brands and beyond. -- Johanna Gibson, Director of the Fashion Law LLM, Queen Mary University of London, UK
