It Takes Two: Peter Miles

(out take of interview )

What is your working relationship like with Juergen Teller, for Marc Jacobs, Céline, and your other collaborations?
PM: Juergen and I have worked together for about 20 years, and the dynamics have changed over the years. I enjoy the conversations surrounding work that usually have nothing to do with work at all.

What was it like working with Phoebe Philo on the biggest revamp of a house in recent memory, Céline?
PM: Phoebe's approach is to consider solutions in extreme detail, and she expects the same degree of attention from the people she works with. The overall experience has been challenging but rewarding.

Fashion designers look to patents to fight knockoffs
(Reuters) - Design companies tending to the details of fashion shows have more to think about than skirt lengths and handbag clasps - they must decide whether to seek U.S. patent protection for their looks.

Diane von Furstenberg, famous for her wrap dresses, has a design patent on a chain mail-style bag. The popular French line Celine has one on the envelope-style handbag sported by countless fashion experts at New York Fashion Week.

This summer alone, brands including Alexander Wang, Balenciaga and Tod's all were granted design patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on accessory designs, records show.

Because U.S. copyright and trademark laws often do not apply to new, logo-free designs, designers are applying for design patents to protect clothing and accessories from being targets for knock-offs, industry attorneys said.
