Who Owns Fashion?

Who really owns a design? Not the algorithm that copied it overnight. Not always the brand either. And definitely not a legal system still working out what “original” even means in the age of fast fashion and AI.

Who Owns Fashion? traces 300 years of copyright law colliding with an industry that moves faster than any court can rule, from the UK’s Closed List to the Piracy Paradox to the lawsuits currently reshaping fast fashion. Sharp, deeply researched, and genuinely funny, this is fashion law for people who’ve never read a law book and loved every page anyway.

For law students, IP nerds, and anyone who’s ever added a suspiciously familiar dress to their cart and thought: wait, who actually made this first?
