The Center for the Study of Fashion, Law, and Society® is a think tank and educational resource created for the benefit of those interested in the nexus of fashion and law. Through panels, symposia, position papers, and a quarterly publication, The Journal of Fashion, Law, and Society, the Center will address important legal and social issues relating to fashion, and facilitate a dialogue among scholars and professionals in fields like law, sociology, and history, whose approach to fashion might otherwise be constrained by their respective disciplines. The Center's official launch is currently planned for January 2014.

The still-amorphous equitable defense is, however, addressed in the much more in-depth opinion concurring in the judgment (which, appropriately, calls out the other two judges on the panel for basing their ruling on a legal issue not even in dispute at this point in the litigation -- the so-called "…
