A night with a lawyer might sound like the least exciting appointment on anyone’s New York Fashion Week agenda, unless, of course, that evening is spent with Douglas Hand. The self-proclaimed and bonafide #fashionlawyer is the antithesis of legal ennui thanks to his loyal clients and fans that include the Council of Fashion Designers of America, Rag & Bone and 3.1 Phillip Lim.
Now, to add to his legal empire, Hand has released The Laws of Style, a tome published by The American Bar Association and directed at his fellow attorneys on exactly how to dress and conduct oneself in and out of the courtroom. “I do think professional men need a bit of sartorial instruction, particularly in this environment where more and more firms are going full-time business casual,†Hand told Observer during the book’s celebratory dinner at The Lambs Club. “Business casual, as The Laws elucidate, is far more challenging than wearing a suit. There are far more ways to cock it up.â€
