Victoria’s Secret Sued by Inventor of Bra Insert

L Brands’ lingerie chain Victoria’s Secret is being sued for copyright infringement by Debra MacKinnon, the principal of intimate apparel company Zephyrs and inventor of a kidney-shaped silicone bra insert. The suit, filed Jan. 25 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, says that MacKinnon came up with the idea for the insert in 2008 while visiting the International Lingerie Show in Paris.
