Having discovered the art, history, and culture of Paris, and its relevance for fashion, the second part of our Parisian Fashion Law Dinner Party turns to French Fashion Law. There is a myth that France extends more legal protection to fashion designs than the U.S. through French copyright law. Is this true? We talk to Laurine Janin-Reynaud, an IP attorney with TAoMA Partners based in Paris, about this legal myth, and more French legal claims, from parasitism to trademark dilution and even the concept of ambush marketing. After exploring intellectual property law's application to fashion in France, we turn to fashion archives in Paris. Valentina Cognini, a historical archivist with experience in fashion archives in the U.S., Italy, and France shares the nuances of preserving French fashion with us. We also discuss what makes a Parisienne.
