Highlights from the Fashion Court Display
In the main lobby of the Central Plains Region from September 1 - November 19, 2005
Fashion Court
The Fashion Court exhibit highlighted lawsuits involving the fashion and beauty industries.
Found in the vast holdings of the National Archives-Central Plains Region are a number of federal court cases that involve, in one form or another, the fashion and beauty industry. Included in a new exhibit are select cases that demonstrate the variety of lawsuits that have made their way through the legal system. Some involve well-known names, such as Levi Strauss, seeking patent protection. Others involve common citizens hoping to receive financial compensation following "beauty disasters," such as exploding bottles of nail polish and hair loss from permanents. And still more cases chronicle important events in the history of the labor movement and the rise of unions in the garment industry.
