  • Arent Fox “Landlord Program” Eradicates Illegal Counterfeits of Clients’ Products at “Counterfeit Triangle”
    O Arent Fox “Landlord Program” Eradicates Illegal Counterfeits of Clients’ Products at “Counterfeit Triangle” June 3, 2008 New York City recently conducted the largest seizure of illegal counterfeit merchandise in its history, recovering $1 million in counterfeit merchandise and closing three Canal Street buildings described by Mayor Michael Bloomberg as “one of the most notorious shopping malls.” Shari Hyman, director of the Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement, labeled the closed buildings as “the worst of the worst in this business.” The city’s action follows several civil actions against Canal Street landlords brought by Arent Fox on behalf of several fashion companies who faced a growing problem that had thwarted prior efforts to combat it. Seeking new strategies, these brand owners hired Arent Fox to impose liability on Canal Street landlords who knew about their tenants’ illegal activities but remained willfully blind to the problem. Arent Fox developed an innovative “landlord program” that required the landlords to take specific steps to stop counterfeiting, including hanging signs warning consumers that the tenant was not authorized to sell plaintiffs’ brands, specifically prohibiting counterfeiting in the leases, hiring a monitor to ensure tenants’ compliance, and evicting any tenant selling counterfeits. The buildings closed by New York City officials were already subject to a consent injunction Arent Fox obtained as part of this program on behalf of Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Kenzo, Loewe and Burberry. The city’s seizure notably did not uncover counterfeit merchandise of any of brands represented by Arent Fox (with the exception of a few Burberry perfume bottles), although it did find a significant amount of other well-known brands not covered by the injunction.

  • PARIS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    PARIS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Paris | 2019 0 Regarded as the fashion capital of the world, Paris is the retail, administrative and economic capital of France, accounting for near 20% of the French population and 30% of national GDP. Paris is one of the top global cities for tourists, offering many cultural pursuits for visitors. One of Paris’s main growth factors is new luxury hotel openings or re-openings and visitors from new developing countries, which are fuelling the luxury sector. This is shown by certain significant openings and department stores moving up-market. Other recent movements have accentuated the shift upmarket of areas in the Right Bank around Rue Saint-Honoré (40% of openings in 2018), rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, and Place Vendôme after the reopening of Louis Vuitton’s flagship in 2017. The Golden Triangle is back on the luxury market with some recent and upcoming openings on the Champs-Elysées and Avenue Montaigne. The accessible-luxury market segment is reaching maturity, and the largest French proponents have expanded abroad to find new growth markets. Other retailers such as Claudie Pierlot and The Kooples have grown opportunistically by consolidating their positions in Paris. Sustained demand from international retailers also reflects the current size of leading mass-market retailers including Primark, Uniqlo, Zara brands or H&M. In the food and beverage sector, a few high-end specialised retailers have enlivened markets in Paris, since Lafayette Gourmet has reopened on boulevard Haussmann, La Grande Épicerie in rue de Passy replacing Franck & Fils department store, and more recently the new concept Eataly in Le Marais.
