Award-winning and cruelty-free advocate, British fashion designer Stella McCartney has received more than one of the most distinguished accolades of the fashion industry. Daughter of the famous, former Beatles, singer, song writer and musician Sir Paul McCartney, and of the deceased, animal rights activist and photographer, Linda McCartney, her awards include Designer of the Year, according to Vogue (2000), Glamour (2004), Elle (2007), British Vogue (2007) and Vogue Spain (2008) ; the Organic Style Award in 2005 for eschewing fur and leather in all her collections, and Green Designer of the Year, in 2008, at the Accessories Council Excellence Awards for her vegan fashion designs. Perhaps, the most outstanding honor includes an Officer of the Order of the British Empire Medal, in 2013, awarded by the British Queen to both men and women, who have had a vast impact in their professions.
Among many famous pieces of the Stella McCartney® fashion collections, various models of the nude-illusion sheath dress, are patented inventions, assigned to Stella McCartney Ltd.
The below model of the nude-illusion sheath dress, with sheer polka-dot mesh panels, was awarded the US design patent USD674993S1, titled Dress, on January 29, 2013. Notice the dotted lines on the Figure 1 drawing, depicting those parts of the invention that are unclaimed. Thus, only the design of the sheer polka-dot mesh panels, supporting the nude illusion, is in fact patented.
The patent Figure 1, showing the front of the dress is included below, together with a runway model, wearing a marketed embodiment of the invention.
