Join us during New York Fashion Week as we highlight foreign national and immigrant fashion designers and models and the unique legal challenges they face in the industry. Panelists will discuss Immigration & Nationality Law, the Non-Immigrant Visa process, intellectual property matters, the Fashion Worker’s Act, employment issues, politics of fashion & race, branding, and more. Designers will discuss how they have integrated elements of their heritage into contemporary designs and ways in which designers are responding to the needs of a new global population.
