This episode is all about fashion designer, director and style legend Tom Ford. I begin with a brief biography and history of Tom Ford's career. Then I provide a legal analysis of the trademark infringement case Chadwick McQueen v. Tom Ford International LLC  over a Tom Ford shawl collar cardigan. Finally, I discuss and analyze how Tom Ford's counsel was able to register a trademark for Tom Ford's famous and controversial perfume name "fucking fabulous" overcoming the scandalousness provision of Section 2(a) of the Lanham Act including a discussion of the recent landmark Supreme Court decision in Iancu v. Brunetti.  Enjoy and thank you for listening!
