Where Sports Meets Fashion Law with Network Chief Legal Officer Daniel Bellizio

Sports and fashion are more interconnected now than ever, and March Madness is showing just how powerful the two industries are together — particularly for student-athletes. In this episode, Kenya talks with fashion law attorney Daniel Bellizio about his storied career representing iconic designers in luxury and sportswear collaborations, and his current work in talent management at Network — advising student-athletes on cutting-edge deals in the evolving landscape of name, image and likeness (NIL).This conversation is a must-listen for designers, student-athletes and anyone interested in learning more about the merger of sports and fashion law. We discussed: intellectual property (IP) and other legal issues in collaborations and NIL deals; the business of talent management; what parents and student-athletes should know about branding and building a community; and whether it’s time for student-athletes and fashion designers to form unions to represent their respective interests.Connect with Daniel Bellizio: LinkedIn Follow Network: InstagramConnect with Kenya: LinkedIn and InstagramFollow Suited with Kenya Wiley Subscribe to the Suited newsletter
