Why You Need a Social Media Policy
289 days ago - Fashion Incubator, Featured, The Fashion LawyerLet’s face it – social media is popular and whether you know it or like it, your employees are on it.

Copycat China: Lessons Learnt from New York

Fashion Lawyer 101: Dress the part, please!

Model Behaviour: The Model Alliance, Model Release and Contract Tips for Models
461 days ago - The Fashion LawyerWhile in high school, I had a close friend who was “discovered”.
