Fashion Law : Fashion Lawyer & Attorney : Fox Rothschild Law Firm : Licensing, Intellectual Property

Me neither.

And just in case you didn't get the point about Brazil's impact on the fashion world from the previous post, WWD has deemed it an emerging luxury force, stating:

Fueled by a boom of both the financial and creative kinds, the country is making a real impact on the fashion and accessories worlds at multiple levels—from serving as a leading design and retail inspiration to becoming an emerging market for luxury brands.

Who are we to argue with WWD, and the army of designers quoted in its article?  So what better time than now (especially since you have shipped your holiday goods!) to go and be inspired? From the food, to the art, to the beaches....and to its Fashion Conferences!

So, pack your bag, grab a flight or just pop in to Fashion Law Brasil 2012 on November 30, 2012.  I will see you there!!

You know, everything happens for a reason. 

As I mentioned, I going to speak at Fashion Law Brazil 2012, which will be held in Rio on November 30, 2012.  Earlier this week, I was telling my kids about the trip.  My 7 year old said, Mommy, did you know the 2014 World Cup is being held there?  And I told him I did, and asked, how did he know?

He said his class learned the words and "signs" to "Wavin' Flag," the 2010 World Cup theme song.  He then proceeded to tell me that the song was about people struggling for freedom, and did I know that many people in the world don't have the rights we do?  or the money? or even running water?  But despite that, they still fight for truth and justice, and to make their dreams come true.  And sometimes, an event like a soccer game can give people the push they need to overcome or just come together.  So we need to be grateful for what we have and even when we have a bad day, we have to fight on.  And always be brave.

I just about fell over.  Then, he sang me the song and I teared up.  Pretty powerful stuff.

So, why are you reading this on the Fashion Law Blog?

Because, fashion is a tough business.  It is a constant struggle and you will always be fighting - to make it, to keep your place or to move forward.  There is always a new season, a new line, another show.  Despite the outward glamor and the glossy images we see in magazines, you all know that isn't what life inside the fashion world is like. 

But if you want it, never give up.  Your dreams are worth fighting for and be grateful you have the opportunity to chase them.  The strong will not only survive, but win. 

Do you have what it takes?

When you think of Brazil, you probably think soccer (or football as they call it), and that Brazil is the host of FIFA's 2014 World Cup.  But, now you should think fashion too!

Did you know:

• Brazil sold over 67 Billion dollars of fashion goods in 2011;
• Brazil is the world's fifth largest producer of textiles (second largest producer of denim);
• Brazil is the fourth largest producer of finished garments; or
• Brazil's fashion industry employees 8 million employees, 75% of which are female?

YUP.

And, on November 30, 2012, Brazil will hold its second annual Fashion Law Conference and has invited me to participate!  How cool is that? 

So, for all you international readers out there (or adventurous US travelers!), I hope you will join us!!!
