<i>‘Quite simply, this book is a joy to read. It is beautifully laid out, with a helpful visual key and practical tips that may not strictly cover legal issues but are useful to read from a commercial perspective. Whilst fashion law is not a defined legal area as such, there are core issues that affect fashion businesses and these are covered in a clear and concise manner.’</i>

- Charlotte Duly, MARQUES Class 46,
