  • FALL / WINTER 2017/2018 2017. Is It Fall and Winter?
    THE FASHION GROUP FOUNDATION PRESENTS FALL / WINTER 2017/2018 TREND OVERVIEW BY MARYLOU LUTHER N E W Y O R K • LONDON • MILAN • PARIS DOLCE & GABBANA 2017. Is it Fall and Winter? Now and Next? Or a fluid season of see it/buy it and see it/wait for it? The key word is fluid, as in… Gender Fluid. As more women lead the same business lives as men, the more the clothes for those shared needs become less sex-specific. Raf Simons of Calvin Klein and Anna Sui showed men and women in identical outfits. For the first time, significant numbers of male models shared the runways with female models. Some designers showed menswear separately from women’s wear but sequentially at the same site. Transgender Fluid. Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler hired transgender models. Transsexuals also modeled in London, Milan and Paris. On the runways, diversity is the meme of the season. Model selections are more inclusive—not only gender fluid, but also age fluid, race fluid, size fluid, religion fluid. And Location Fluid. Philipp Plein leaves Milan for New York. Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy leave New York for Paris. Tommy Hilfiger, Rebecca Minkoff and Rachel Comey leave New York for Los Angeles. Tom Ford returns to New York from London and Los Angeles. Given all this fluidity, you could say: This is Fashion’s Watershed Moment. The moment of Woman as Warrior—armed and ready for the battlefield. Woman in Control of Her Body—to reveal, as in the peekaboobs by Anthony Vaccarello for Yves Saint Laurent.

  • 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.
