VLA Launches Sustainable Fashion Workshop Series

New York-based Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (VLA) recently announced a four-part workshop series focusing on social and legal issues in the fashion industry. The first segment in the series, Social & Legal Issues in Fashion Series: Ethical and Sustainable Practices, explores both the sociology of the fashion industry and legal issues that surround trademarks and counterfeits. It takes place Tuesday, June 15th, 6:00-8:00 pm. Other topics include: human rights issues, sustainable manufacturing, repurposed goods, and a movement towards "local fashion." The workshop will be taught by VLA's executive director, Elena M. Paul, Esq., and Anna Akbari, Ph.D.
