“…In the early eras of fashion, styles of dress did not change much and lasted for periods as long as centuries (Freudenberger, , p. 39). These long stints of time are called Trachts (Freudenberger, , p. 39). During this time of Tracht cycles, changes in fashion were typically specific to men's fashion and were prompted by military factors (Freudenberger, , p. 39).…”

Since humans began wearing clothes, we have used them to portray characteristics about ourselves including ethnic origin, tribes, wealth, status, and religion. This paper discusses the intellectual property protection available for clothing designs in the United States, Europe, India, and China. It begins by discussing the history of fashion and fashion designing across the world during different eras.Next, the paper explains the early methods used to protect fashion designs as originators struggled to protect their creations in regimes that had not yet implemented sui generis protection for fashion designs. Some regimes, notably the United States, still do not offer sui generis protection for fashion designs and have greatly limited the industry's ability to self-regulate against copying. The paper also discusses and compares the current regime of fashion design protection in the United States, European Union, India, and China, including their strengths and deficiencies. Finally, the paper suggests a solution to the lack of protection in the United States that would treat fashion design piracy similarly to the treatment of counterfeit goods.

“…Many scholars have emphasized the effects of "bourgeois" imitation of elite dress and behavior in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is argued that, like most fashions, the taking of sugar by itself and with exotic beverages started as an elite custom and then "trickled down" to a "rising" bourgeoisie anxious to ape its betters (Freudenberger 1963). 15 When the trickle became a flood in the course of the eighteenth century, as yet poorer classes imitated their immediate superiors, mass consumption arose.…”

Private Tooth Decay as Public Economic Virtue: The Slave-Sugar Triangle, Consumerism, and European Industrialization

The only group of clear gainers from the British trans-Atlantic slave trade, and even those gains were small, were the European consumers of sugar and tobacco and other plantation crops. They were given the chance to purchase dental decay and lung cancer at somewhat lower prices than would have been the case without the slave trade. [Thomas and Bean 1974: 914]Although the quotation above represents a radical departure from earlier economic assessments of the Atlantic slave trade, it shares with them an almost universal assumption: that the real significance of the Atlantic sugar triangle lay in its contribution to the productive capacity of Europe. Thus, concluding that only consumers “benefited” is tantamount to reducing the slave trade to economic triviality. This view of import trades has informed historical understanding not only of the factors leading to industrialization in Europe but also of those apparently retarding similar development in the Third World, including Africa and the West Indies (Bairoch 1975: 198–99).
