Course summary

The Fashion Law LLM gives you the unique opportunity to specialise in a thriving and growing area of legal practice. You will focus on the laws and regulatory frameworks applicable to the fashion industry and develop a wider understanding of the socio-cultural and policy issues, including social justice issues in fashion, including cultural appropriation, fast fashion, and sustainability. Our approach is international and comparative to reflect the nature of the fashion and luxury industry. Your fellow students will come from the UK and more than 80 other countries, each able to draw on prior academic and in many cases professional experiences from different jurisdictions to enrich discussion and debate in class. The School of Law has consistently been ranked in the top 10 law schools in the UK for the quality of our research and teaching, and many of our internationally recognised staff act as advisers to governments, industry and NGOs, both nationally and internationally. The Postgraduate Law Centre is based in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Holborn, the legal district of London, close to law firms, chambers and the Royal Courts of Justice. You will have access to facilities and equipment at the Postgraduate School of Law Centre in Lincoln's Inn Fields, which comprises workstations, wireless internet access, projectors and a common room.
