New York Mother Sues Victoria's Secret for Stealing Her Bra Design

Single mother and paralegal Katerina Plew, 38, of Selden, N.Y., has sued Victoria's Secret over the popular Very Sexy 100-way Strapless Convertible Bra, because she is the rightful owner of the May 2004 patent for a convertible bra.

She alleged that her idea for the improved "brassiere" - patent No. 6,733,362 - came out of necessity in August 1999, when she wanted a bra to hide under a dress for the christening of triplets David, Thomas and Alexis who are now 9 years old.

"I needed it. I looked around for it. I obsessed over it. Some women, they walk around with straps hanging out. That's not me. I didn't like bra straps. That's a pet peeve," Katerina Plew said.

The controversial suit was filed in Manhattan Federal Court yesterday, Monday April 21, 2008.

Ms. Plew showed the sample of her patented design to prove that Victoria's Secret Very Sexy 100-way Strapless Convertible Bra, was copied from her "bra" of detachable straps with hooks and numerous eyelets that allow the user 100 different ways to wear it. Instead of buying a bra to match each dress, users just replace the straps.






Plew's bra has an apparatus for connecting a pair of shoulder straps. The Victoria's Secret model comes with three sets of straps, which allow the bra to be used in any number of styles, including as a halter or strapless, and sells for $50 and $56.

Plew claimed that she had mailed a copy of the design of her strapless bra to executives of the company with the DVD of a model wearing it and she was given an appointment, but they later canceled the appointment. A year later, she was stunned to see the exact design of her bra in the Victoria's Secret shop near her home in Selden, Long Island.

Unlike the majority of video sharing sites, Webcastr features clips that come from licensed sources of professional and semi-pro content.

Webcastr features video clip content covering the fields of news, sports, music video, comedy, celebrity coverage, film, gaming, technology, animation and informational content updated throughout the day from a variety of content providers. The site is the opposite of user generated video sites that rely mostly on uploads of amateur video content from their members.


The site currently has deals with nearly 200 different content providers including CBS News, MTV News, Daily Variety, FHM, Dow Jones, CelebTV, Automotive TV, Warner Music, Sony/BMG, TV Guide Broadband, the Green Energy Channel, Digital Daily, Media Bytes, the Space Channel, Cycling TV, Ford Models TV, Election TV, ShortBrain TV, Vanity Fair and many others.


Started in June of 2007 by former Sony Music exec, Tim Devine, Webcastr has seen its audience grow around the world as well as enjoying a 1,500% viewership increase in its ratings as determined by internet tracking service Alexa. "We now have viewers tuning in from over 150 countries," says Devine. The site, still in beta phase, expects to go public by the end of next month.
