Section 02 / Background
Licensing in the fashion industry is when a brand owner gives permission to a company (typically a wholesaler) to use their name on merchandise. For example, a fashion designer may give another clothing company the rights to sell product using the fashion designers name. Possibly for a specific category. Brand licensing is an important aspect of the apparel industry.
