Fashion Law at QMUL
Professor Gibson introduced a fashion law pilot in 2008, making CCLS in the QMUL School of Law one of the first law schools in the UK, and indeed around the world, to introduce fashion law on its postgraduate LLM programme. Professor Gibson then expanded the offerings in 2014 to address the breadth of intellectual property rights in fashion, as well as the interaction between intellectual property and other areas of law (including equality and diversity, commercial practices, data protection, sustainability and ESG, social media and influencer marketing, and fashion in the metaverse), making CCLS home to the biggest LLM fashion cohort in the UK. CCLS now boasts the largest postgraduate LLM community in fashion law in the UK, with 1000s of fashion law alumni around the world, and is now introducing the first LLM in Fashion Law in the UK, with the launch of the new programme in September 2025. For more information on the LLM in Fashion Law, please visit QMUL Fashion Law.
