Young and David Moin NEW YORK — The fate of Saks Fifth Avenue is still in limbo.

And there’s a new wrinkle to the plot: Banking sources said that, if Saks Inc. sells both the northern stores and SFA, chairman R. Brad Martin would still hold onto the reins of the 41-store Parisian chain.

  • 1 Condensed Research Report on the Impact of Bad Faith Trademark
    Condensed Research Report on the Impact of Bad Faith Trademark Registration in China on CFDA Members April 11, 2018 Introduction CFDA and Its Members Founded in 1962, the CFDA is the leading industry association representing the interests of U.S.- based fashion designers. The CFDA’s mission is to support the work of American fashion designers on a global basis, including through research and advocacy with respect to barriers to market access. The organization is also particularly focused on supporting emerging designers in the early stages of their development build their businesses and brands. o For more information on the CFDA’s activities and programs, see www.cfda.com. Purpose of Project This report was prepared in response to wide-spread concerns among our members regarding bad- faith trademark registration and its impact on their businesses. The CFDA is aware that bad faith trademark registration exists in most countries with negative effects worldwide. The scale of bad faith registrations and the economic impact on our members, in particular, is enormous. The purpose of this research project is to measure the problem, identify its special characteristics, and deliver the results to relevant authorities and experts in China for their use in generating solutions. It is our hope that the solutions being developed in China will function as models for other countries also addressing bad-faith registration. 1 Survey Data The research behind this report is based on a review of two types of survey data: - A membership questionnaire conducted between January and February 2018; and - A review of data gathered from public sources, primarily the public database of the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (wsjs.saic.gov.cn) focusing on the word trademarks of the CFDA’s members.

    Council of Fashion Designers of America ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The mission of the Council of Fashion Designers of America is to strengthen the impact of American fashion in the global economy. B 1 Letter from the Chairwoman, Diane von Furstenberg, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven Kolb In fashion, we respond to the world we live in, a point that was powerfully driven home in 2017. We were excited to see talents with broad cultural backgrounds and political ideas begin to express their experiences and beliefs through their collections. Diversity moved into the spotlight in ways we have never seen before. Designers embraced new approaches to business, from varying show formats to disruptive delivery cycles. It was also the year to make your voices heard, and CFDA listened. We engaged in civic initiatives important to our industry and partnered with Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and FWD.us. We also relaunched our CFDA Health Initiative with guidelines to help those impacted by sexual assault or other forms of abuse. There’s no going back. In 2018, CFDA is moving ahead at full speed with an increased focus on inclusivity and women in fashion, the latter through an exciting new study with Glamour magazine. We may be a reflection of the world we live in, but we also work hard to make that world a better place. Altruism, after all, never goes out of style. 3 CFDA STRENGTHENED PILLARS WITH MISSION-DRIVEN ACTIONS MEMBERSHIP Fashion Professional Fashion Civic+ Retail Partnership Week + Market Development Supply Chain Philanthropy Opportunities SUSTAINABILITY INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT SOCIAL AND EDITORIAL MARKETING AND EVENTS KEY UNCHANGED MODIFIED NEW PROVIDED INITIATIVES RELEVANT TO DESIGNERS EMERITUS AT EVERY STAGE OF CAREER DESIGNERS • Board Engagement • Philanthropy and Civic ICONIC Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • Board Engagement • Fashion Week • Philanthropy and Civic ESTABLISHED Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • NETWORK.
