FASHION SHOW AS AN OBJECT OF COPYRIGHT

Abstract

The fashion industry is developing at an incredible speed and in order to maintain interest in fashion in a world where a huge number of enterprises work for the sake of “intercepting” consumer attention, the fashion industry turns fashion shows into works of art. Fashion shows are more like theatrical and spectacular performances, the implementa- tion of which employs a large team of specialists. Given the current trends of fashion shows, the question arises as to whether a fashion show can be considered an object of copyright. In this article, the author examines the legal issues of protecting a fashion show as an object of copyright, issues of “co-authorship”, as well as the rights of models as “performers”.
