Time to quilt?

Apparently a huge row has erupted at the Milan Fashion Week, as Giorgio Armani has accused Dolce & Gabbana of ripping off (not literally, I don’t think, but in the design sense) a pair of quilted trousers that had appeared in the last Armani collection.

While I would hate to trivialise the sort of plagiarism D&G are supposed to have committed, one look at the offending trousers prompts in my mind the question: who would actually want to claim responsibility for them?
