Summary/Abstract: How can elements of Intangible Cultural Heritage such as Traditional Knowledge and Traditional Cultural Expressions contribute to enabling cultural sustainability in Romania and what is the legal framework applicable to them? This editorial advocates for the implementation of a coherent strategy for the protection and promotion of Traditional Knowledge and Traditional Cultural Expressions in Romania. The current international context demonstrates the need for innovation in this space, especially given the high occurrence of cultural misappropriation cases in the fashion and textiles industry. Although considered a niche field of law, the legal protection of elements of Intangible Cultural Heritage can become a field of law in its own right, known as cultural intellectual property law, and can generate system change in the fashion and textile industry.
