FASHION AND LUXURY INDUSTRY LAW
Manager: Lolita Huprelle, Olivier SAUTEL (olivier.sautel @ umontpellier.fr) and Éloïse Thomas
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 demands
the application of specific, original rules.
In light of this observation, the creation of an establishment diploma is essential to offer training to professionals in the field.
Objectives
This program is open to students and professionals.
The "Fashion and Luxury Industry Law" degree is the only one of its kind in France. Its objective is to train students and professionals in the problems of law applied to fashion and the luxury industry. The course allows students to understand the specific rules of fashion and luxury industry law and to understand the articulation between the special and autonomous rules applicable to the field and the common law.
