April 22, 2008
NEW YORK (AP) -- Katerina Plew is suing Victoria's Secret, alleging that the company stole her secret. She claims the lingerie company stole her idea for hiding bra straps.
Plew has filed suit in a New York federal court. There's no comment yet from lawyers for Victoria's Secret.
Plew is a single, working mother of four, including triplets. She said she created the bra in 1999 after becoming frustrated that her bra straps were showing.
Plew received a patent on the bra in 2004. She claims officials of Victoria's Secret canceled a meeting with her after she e-mailed them a mock-up of the bra.
Go get 'em, girlfriend!
