Cape Town Fashion Council Presents ‘The Law and Fashion: Know Your Rights,’ an Intellectual Property Workshop #FashionLaw @Ctfc_za

Cape Town Fashion Council Intellectual Property Law

The Fashion Law movement has been gaining momentum around the world, independent of our movement here in the States. A new addition to the movement is Africa, as South Africa begins to also make its Fashion Law voice heard.

This is the second programming I am seeing from South Africa on Fashion Law educating its fashion community. The first was organized by Africa Fashion International this past fashion season.

Ladybrille designers, check out the details below.
