Home / IN CONVERSATION WITH -MS. MARIA JOSE GONZALEZARIA JOSE, FOUNDER CHILE FASHION LAW

Ms. María José González is a founder of Fashion Law Chile. She has been awarded as “Most Influential Fashion Lawyer of Chile”.

IN THE YEAR 2016, WHEN YOU DECIDED TO COME UP WITH YOUR OWN BLOG ON FASHION LAW, CHILE WHAT WERE YOUR VISIONS?

I had discovered Fashion Law a year before that. In that year all I did (besides being in my second year of law school) was study, read every book, every paper, article about Fashion Law I could, about IP law, immerse myself in the Fashion Industry and Fashion Law. In 2016, when I was in my third year of law school, I decided I wanted to share all the knowledge I was learning with everyone. I wanted for Fashion Law to be known in Chile, that’s why I decided to create something of my own, my own blog about Fashion Law.At the moment I knew it wasn’t going to be easy – and right now isn’t easy as well. I knew many people would laught at me, some people would start to not taking me seriously and I believe it was that way. In despite of all of that, I knew how big the Fashion Industry is worldwide, and how profitable is in my country (at least retail is), and how many new incredible talented designers are discovered every day, and if there’s an industry I knew there was a place for Fashion Law.

It simply started as a platform just to share my thoughts and interest about fashion law. Through several research I discovered the potential and opportunities surrounding the fashion industry and I told myself that like it is in Industries all over the world, the legal area is an essential aspect in every business and it is so much better when the lawyer also understands the business and the terms applied in such an industry, so i started my fashion law journey. The Vision is and has always been to provide legal and business solutions to creatives in the fashion industry. Over the years, the vision has become clearer and we aim to help provide mentorship programs, training, online classes, courses and contents to help fashion entrepreneurs know how best to protect their creativity and their brand.

I am super proud of the Nigerian Fashion Industry, the industry has evolved over the past few years. Over the years, the industry has gained support both by private companies and public organisations providing fundings, organising trainings, empowering creatives towards achieving their business goals. There are several issues affecting the Nigerian Fashion Industry but i believe that with time the industry will surpass the issues.

During the times when i have struggled with motivation to move forward with this amazing aspect of law. I simply remind myself why I started and what I hope to achieve. Personally, I have had my struggles considering the novelty of this area of law but I keep pushing considering the impact I hope to make in this space.
