Ripped off fashion design?

I caught a preview of The Fashion Show, last night, while watching Top Chef Masters. In two different takes both the host, and one of the guest judges, said something to the effect of one of the designers doing a knock off, and it's already been seen on the runway, design.

I'm reserving judgment but I'll be watching and then I'll be judging - was this contestant treated fairly?

Department of Law?

I spent half my school years in a foreign country but even I know there is not such thing as a White House Department of Law.
