“A lawyer is not just the one who is going to defend you in court but is also a kind of guide that pushes you in the correct way, to enhance and to explore your ideas. That is exactly my role in the context of beauty.” Claudia Del Re 

In this first part of my conversation with Claudia Del Re, she shares with us why she thinks she’s one of the luckiest lawyers ever, defining herself as the “attorney of beauty”.

Claudia brings us into her world and illustrates the work that she does by offering clear, expert guidance and advice buttressed by concrete examples, strategies and tips on how to preserve and protect one’s creations and intellectual property.  

She also speaks to the specific challenges regarding Florence’s artisans and centuries-old traditions of craftsmanship and the difficulties in protecting this important cultural heritage and ensuring that these techniques are not lost. 

We also touch upon AI and technology, the nuances of the law when it comes to wine, fashion, intellectual property and a host of other areas, and the importance of keeping trade secrets secret.

Finally, we talk about her teaching, what the university students who take her classes are interested in and what they worry about, and she gives us her keen insights on the future of fashion.
