  • Victoria Beckham Visits UNAIDS in Geneva to Lend Her Support to The
    PRESS RELEASE Victoria Beckham visits UNAIDS in Geneva to lend her support to the AIDS response ahead of World AIDS Day UNAIDS International Goodwill Ambassador urges people to test for HIV and to seek treatment if necessary GENEVA, 23 November 2018—A little over one week before World AIDS Day, UNAIDS International Goodwill Ambassador Victoria Beckham has visited the organization’s Geneva, Switzerland, headquarters to support calls for people to know their HIV status and to seek treatment for HIV if necessary. “I am really happy to be in Geneva to support UNAIDS in the run-up to World AIDS Day,” said Ms Beckham during her visit. “We need to make sure that people feel supported to take an HIV test by ending the stigma and discrimination still too often associated with the virus. Today, we have the medicines to keep people healthy and to stop the virus being transmitted. AIDS isn’t over yet, but it can be.” UNAIDS estimates that there were around 36.9 million people living with HIV worldwide in 2017, with around 21.7 million people accessing life-saving medicines that keep people alive and well and stop the transmission of the virus. However, UNAIDS also estimates that around one in four people worldwide continue to be unaware that they are living with HIV. During the visit, the UNAIDS Executive Director, Michel Sidibé, met with Ms Beckham to thank her for her support and to discuss the latest developments in the AIDS response. “We have made a lot of progress in expanding access to treatment, but the number of people who don’t know their HIV status is still far too high,” said Mr Sidibé.

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.

ALL OTHER JEWELLERY, VICTORIA’S OWN COVER STAR Victoria Beckham ‘I’m really good value at a dinner party – I want to relax and have a laugh. I like to have fun, and I think that often surprises people’ Words Lotte Jeffs Photography Kerry Hallihan Styling Alison Edmond WHEN WE MEET AT HER SOUTH-WEST LONDON DESIGN STUDIO, Victoria Beckham, 43, is wearing an oversized cream jumper. As she talks – carefully, pointedly, knowing that every sentence is a potential tabloid headline – she frequently shrinks into her polo neck, pulling it up so only her hyper-alert eyes are visible. She warms up after I spill a cup of peppermint tea on the carpet (‘When you have kids, nothing is sacred’), and answers my questions with warmth and humour. Her large, private office is in the middle of the workshop. Having just launched her first high-street collaboration with US retailer Target (her elevated everyday style for women and kids at an accessible price point), she and the team are busy putting the finishing touches to the autumn/winter collection she will show in New York the following week. ‘Emancipation with optimism’ and ‘Feminine with a practical streak’ were how she described her new work, and they are words that must be on her mind as we chat. She comes across as thoughtful – or, as she puts it, ‘intense’ – when discussing world events and a more feminist future for Harper and her three boys, but I’m surprised by her easy rapport.
