While it might seem difficult to select from endless styles of garments, we shoppers have it easy compared to the transactional and IP lawyers ironing-out difficult issues behind the scenes, as discussed in the articles in this week's Fashion Law special report.

In "Beauty and Justice: How Brands Targeting Women of Color Can Assess Their Risks," the author writes that staying abreast of legislation, enforcement actions, and social trends should be a priority for beauty product companies. And in "Protecting Fashion in the Metaverse," we read that new technologies are forcing brand owners to implement registration and enforcement strategies to protect their intellectual property rights in the metaverse.
