lol wtf -- "There are plenty of big law firms in the city that hire lawyers who have knowledge in the background of fashion," Scafidi told a group of press and professors. "Why wouldn't they hire lawyers who are actually trained in the field of fashion?"

The world's first degree in fashion law will be offered by Fordham Law School starting this autumn, the New York-based institute has announced.

Professor Susan Scafidi - the director of the school's Fashion Law Institute who created the first course in fashion law in 2010 - was joined by program backer and part-financier Diane von Furstenberg as she made the announcement inside the Lincoln Center campus, Racked reports.

"There are plenty of big law firms in the city that hire lawyers who have knowledge in the background of fashion," Scafidi told a group of press and professors. "Why wouldn't they hire lawyers who are actually trained in the field of fashion?"

Scafidi credited the CFDA and particularly its president, Von Furstenberg - who she called the "patron saint" of fashion law - with the creation of the program being made possible. Von Furstenberg, who has been a long-time campaigner for bringing copyright protection to the US, told the press conference that she, "firmly believes this program will become a powerful tool in the fashion world and beyond, and help us all as an industry - lawyers or not - better understand, grow, and protect our businesses."

Applications for Fordham's new program - which has already been approved by the American Bar Association - are being accepted from today to start in autumn 2015 and will be offered on both a full-time and part-time basis. The program comprises two different degrees: a Master of Studies in Law, or M.S.L, for professionals interested in fashion law, and a Master's of Law, or LL.M, in Fashion Law for students who already have a J.D. law degree. Modules covered will include fashion financing, fashion modelling law, fashion licensing and sustainability.
