Cosmeceuticals – The Promise and Pitfalls of “Juicing” Your Branded Products:
As fashion designers enter the cosmeceutical market they must be cautious about the proper labeling of their products to avoid consumer confusion that could make their product within the regulatory purview of the FDA. We will discuss the promise and pitfalls associated with cosmeceuticals including labeling, advertising, marketing and what to do when someone challenges your labeling or advertising materials.
Hitting the Right Notes – Music-Inspired Fashion:
This program will discuss how to maximize the opportunities to connect your brand with current and iconic talent, how to license the rights necessary to use the music you want, and how to monetize fashion and music. The presentation will include a primer on copyright, rights of publicity and the evolving federal law related to music owners and trademark protection. All this in the context of fashion design, including advertising, marketing, runway shows and performances as well as on the Internet.
