@pesematology: All the time. Mostly accessories, but I think we can all be sure that Hermes has never produced a Birkin in pleather. My work computer won't let me upload images, so here you go: [www.accesshollywood.com]
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...
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.
@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.
@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!

Sigh. You wear more leather than a cowgirl dominatrix. Please to wise up when it comes to the whole PETa thing.

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