Our clothing is a language we use to tell the world who we are and who we want to be. But this language doesn’t only come from individual choices and the fashion industry, it is also influenced by unwritten rules and the legal system itself.
Join Lawyers for the Creative Arts for a fascinating discussion on the intersection of fashion and the law led by Richard Thompson Ford, Stanford Law Professor and author of Dress Codes: How the Laws of Fashion Made History. Professor Ford will share some of his compelling research on fashion history, sumptuary laws, and changing social norms.
As Professor Ford lays out, this history manifests in what we wear today and the meaning we assign individual garments and styles of dress. Whether we are conscientious of it or not, we all engage in the language of fashion. Register for this free program – you may never look at fashion in the same way again.
