FASHION AND LUXURY INDUSTRY LAW
Manager: Lolita Huprelle, Olivier Sautel (olivier.sautel @ umontpellier.fr) and Eloïse Patocki-Tomas
Fashion and luxury industry law is an emerging field of law.
Traditional legal tools, procedures and corporate forms are gradually being adapted to create a new, autonomous law.
Fashion and luxury industry law therefore does not only apply common law rules to the field, but also claims
the application of specific and original rules.
According to this observation, the creation of an establishment diploma is essential to offer training to professionals.
Objectives
The program is open to both students and professionals.
The "Fashion and Luxury Industry Law" School Diploma is the only program of its kind in France. Its aim is to train students and professionals in the legal issues applied to fashion and the luxury goods industry. The course enables students to grasp the specific rules of fashion and luxury industry law, and to understand the relationship between the special, autonomous rules applicable to the field and ordinary law.
