Compare and Contrast this look by DLR 'D' (top) at Friday Night's TT Fashion Week Show with the Louis Vuitton (straight off the runway looks) rocked by fashionistas Rihanna and Kerri Washington (below).  Note the similarities (iridescent metallic bustier top/voluminous, structured skirt) and the differences (colour, length, random tie-dye lining or lack thereof).

I honestly think this is an innocent coincidence.  And hey, if you're going to channel somebody's influence in the design process it might as well be Mr. Marc Jacobs right? ;)
