Grantz) (Do Not Delete) 12/5/2011 11:35 PM Note Fashioning a New Look in Intellectual Property: Sui Generis Protection for the Innovative Designer Linna T. Loangkote* Fashion design is weaving its way through the fabric of American society by transforming how people think about fashion apparel. The $350 billion fashion industry not only puts the clothes on our backs, but gives individuals an outlet for individual expression as well. More and more, the fashion design process is recognized as a creative process where vision, raw materials, and skill meet to produce fashion apparel that should be worthy of sui generis protection. Current intellectual property regimes fail to adequately equip designers with legal remedies to guard against design piracy, and this affects both innovation and competition. Moreover, even though the U.S is a signatory to the Berne Convention, the U.S.’s lack of a protection scheme for fashion design is out of step with other signatory members, namely the European Union, and this mismatch could invite unintended reciprocity problems for American designers abroad.

The exhibition also explores the factors that enable emerging cities, such as Seoul, Shanghai, Berlin, Istanbul, Johannesburg, São Paulo, Mumbai, and Stockholm, to rise to global prominence. As The New York Times noted in a 2008 article titled “The Sun Never Sets on the Runway,” at any given moment, somewhere in the world, a city is hosting a fashion week event. Fashion weeks are indeed continuing to multiply as emerging cities realize the economic value of the fashion industry, as well as the value of fashion as a source of “soft power” to communicate identity and spread cultural influence throughout the world. The exhibition makes the case that multiple factors—from economic conditions to government support to press interest—combine to help create a globally relevant fashion city. Big Park, dress, spring 2015, Lisa Folawiyo, dress, spring 2015, Seoul, gift of Big Park Lagos, gift of Lisa Folawiyo More than 70 garments and accessories by designers from these cities are on display in Global Fashion Capitals.
