This looks like it's going to be a really great event tomorrow — confab on intellectual property law, commons culture, and fashion. Features former Gucci design head Tom Ford (MY LORD AND MASTER), Norman Lear, "Sex and The City"'s Michael Patrick King, DJ Danger Mouse, and "Desperate Housewives" costume designer Cate Adair. Damn! Takes place in LA, but there's a live webcast.
On January 29, 2005, the Norman Lear Center will hold a landmark event on fashion and the ownership of creativity. Ready to Share will explore the fashion industry's enthusiastic embrace of sampling, appropriation and borrowed inspiration, core components of every creative process. Presented by the Lear Center's Creativity, Commerce & Culture project, and sponsored by The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM, this groundbreaking conference will feature scholarly debate, fashion shows, multimedia presentations, the clash of perspectives and the cross-fertilization of ideas.
