Coach has no chance. U.S. copyright law does not protect useful articles, and copyright protection has been denied to fashion designs because clothing garments have traditionally been viewed as useful articles—basic items of necessity having utilitarian value—rather than as artistic creations. Unless they are infringing on the trademark by causing consumer confusion (i.e. putting "coach" or the like on the purses), the design itself is not protectable and there is no lawsuit.

At least, that's what my memory of IP law in law school tells me...

@rednrowdy: Also, lovely linen skirts. You can pry mine from my cool, comfortable, dead hands in summertime here in New Mexico.

Now that Lady Gaga is taking style tips from Ed Gein and Jame Gumb, I'm looking forward to the belt of shrunken heads she has planned for the next awards show.

You know, I really think someone should hook up Gaga and Chris March.

I think they could really have something special, as she would be the perfect person to wear some of his zanier pieces.

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: YES! They really are perfect for one another. I can't think of any other celebrity that would wear his costumey creations.

@lovecake: It honestly never occurred to me before her new human hair outfit, but she would seriously rock the hell out of some of his shit. Tell me she wouldn't look fan-fucking-tastic with a giant ruffly leopard print collar and a Wonder Woman inspired bodice and panty set.

@lovecake: Chris March designed Beyonce's Sasha Fierce costumes. Which just makes him more perfect for Lady Gaga: they were pants-free.

@louwheeze: The man did an entire line of clothes made from vegetables for a salad dressing company, for crying out loud! It is a match made in my happiest dreams!
