Paul Mason is a fashion model, entrepreneur, and now is the one and only Fashion Santa allowed in existence. The result of a legal battle between the model and Toronto's Yorkdale Shopping Centre recently came to an end with Mason winning the exclusive rights and ownership to the name "Fashion Santa" as of 2018.

But the following year, the mall attempted to trademark the name "Fashion Santa," and replaced Mason with another model for their 2016 holiday campaign. As a result, Mason went to court to challenge the mall on the grounds that he owned the trademark and copyright of the name. In a recent interview with TMZ, Mason said, "I went viral in 2015 and then boom, it was taken away from me for two years." In 2016, the Toronto Star spoke with Yorkdale's marketing director, Lucia Connor, who said, "We reached out several times over the summer [of 2016] and we did not receive a response... We wanted to work with Paul Mason again."
