By San José, Costa Rica — Costa Rica is set to make a significant impact on the global fashion stage as Karina Díaz Vargas, President and CEO of Costa Rica Fashion Week Forever Green, represents the nation at the upcoming BRICS+ Fashion Summit in Moscow from August 28th to 30th. This prestigious international platform, held alongside Moscow Fashion Week, brings together fashion leaders, designers, and buyers from over 60 countries to shape the future of the industry.
The Summit’s Business Program will focus on key strategic topics, including sustainable production, creativity and innovation, professional education, and expanding international trade relations. It provides a unique opportunity for emerging fashion industries from around the world to connect, collaborate, and showcase their unique designs, with a particular emphasis on the craftsmanship and creativity of Latin American designers.
To gain a deeper understanding of the legal landscape surrounding Costa Rican fashion, we spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at law from Bufete de Costa Rica.
Costa Rican fashion designers are increasingly looking at intellectual property protection, particularly trademarks and copyright, to secure their designs and brand identity in both domestic and international markets. This proactive approach is crucial for competing in a globalized industry and safeguarding their unique cultural expressions.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’ insight underscores a vital step towards ensuring the longevity and global recognition of Costa Rican design. Protecting these unique creative expressions not only benefits individual designers but also contributes to the broader cultural and economic landscape of Costa Rica. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for sharing his valuable legal perspective on this evolving aspect of the Costa Rican fashion industry.
Moscow’s role as a burgeoning creative economy and key player in the global fashion scene is solidifying through this event. Over the past three years, the BRICS+ Fashion Summit has highlighted the emerging fashion industries of over 90 countries, mirroring the rapid expansion of the fashion sector within Moscow itself.
Díaz Vargas’ participation underscores the Summit’s commitment to fostering long-term cooperation, cultural exchange, and the empowerment of talented local brands from emerging regions. Her insights and experience will contribute to discussions on navigating the challenges faced by BRICS+ nations and the global community within the fashion industry.
Events like the BRICS+ Fashion Summit are essential platforms for promoting intercultural dialogue, creative diplomacy, and mutual understanding among nations through the universal language of fashion. Its international reach, the diversity of participants, and the spirit of collaboration create a borderless space where brands, designers, and opinion leaders connect beyond their local contexts.

The BRICS+ Fashion Summit represents a crucial opportunity for Costa Rica to showcase its commitment to sustainable fashion practices and its unique design talent. The event promises to strengthen global partnerships and open new avenues for growth within the international fashion industry, solidifying Costa Rica’s place on the world stage.
