His modern showroom and atelier reflect the upscale aspirations of this city's apparel industry, which is yearning to raise its profile -- even though it already dictates what much of the world wears every day.

"It would be nice for people to be more open-minded about designers in L.A.," said Rodriguez, whose creations are sold in famous retailers like Neiman Marcus and Harrods. "They're surprised the collection is from L.A."

Los Angeles fashion insiders are tired of playing second fiddle to New York, which they describe as slow-moving and staid. Today's fashion, they say, thrives in this city of palm-lined streets whose lifestyle is coveted the world over.

The City of Angels has carved out a niche for itself as a host for casual brands like American Apparel and as a manufacturer of quick-turnaround "fast fashion" and small orders for emerging designers.

The Triumph Luxurious Diamond Thong had 518 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling 30 carats, studded into the front of a black lace thong in a floral pattern. The skimpy underwear that left little to the imagination also had 27 white gold tassels hanging off it.

Danielle Luminita, a brunette model from Romania, was carried down the runway on the shoulders of two male models wearing only the diamond thong.

"It is very comfortable, it's not heavy or scratchy or anything," Luminita told Reuters backstage.

Girlfriend of billionaire and Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich, Daria Zhukova, did not come to the week, although she was invited. Her designs, under the label Kova and T, have recently been spotted on Hollywood stars.

Denis Simachev, who creates clean-cut sailor outfits and has his head office in Luxembourg, also declined his invite, his spokesman Vadim Chernyshev said.

"The best way to sell a collection is in Milan. Good clothes should be known on a quality stage," said Chernyshev. Simachev was the first Russian designer to debut on the coveted Milan catwalk seven years ago.

Moscow Fashion Week, though it attracts little international interest, had around 120,000 attendees this year.

Bikini girl, gai xinh But Moscow Fashion Week, which was set up 15 years ago to compete with other fashion footholds Milan and Paris, fell short of the international glamour such cities receive.

Almost all shows were held in the same hall, few Russian and no foreign celebrities made an appearance.

Two Russian designers who have gained popularity in the West were markedly absent from the shows.

Ballerinas, an idyllic Russian winter setting and an ode to French queen Marie-Antoinette also featured at the week.

"We were isolated from the world (during Soviet times)," said Tatyana Mikhalkova, the wife of Oscar-winning film director Nikita Mikhalkov and president of Russian Silhouette, a charity she set up to give funding to young Russian designers.

"People now like to dress from another time, like the time of (Empress) Catherine the Great," said Mikhalkova, who counts future first lady and public Russian fashion supporter Svetlana Medvedeva in her close circle of friends.

SLOW SUCCESS ABROAD

Russian fashion, like other facets of the country's art, is gaining popularity and spreading in interest as Russia undergoes its longest economic boom in more than a generation, fuelled by high oil prices.

"We are a rich country, and that's why we have rich fashion," Luzhkov told Reuters TV after giving Yudashkin a large bouquet of flowers.

Other designers went beyond tsarist fashion to evoke the feeling of pre-Bolshevik Russia.

Deep blue flowers on black backgrounds similar to traditional Russian lacquered boxes dominated at Slava Zaitsev's show, a 69-year old designer who used to dress the Soviet elite.

Male models had their faces covered by flowing fox stretching from large Russian winter hats and wore embroidered gold overcoats with green fur collars.

"We're scared of taking our fashion abroad, that it will be unpleasant, but we're a huge country with a long history of beauty," Zaitsev told Reuters after the show, which also showed headscarved women and men with trousers tucked into boots, conjuring up the look of Cossacks, or tsarist cavalrymen.

Old world luxury reminiscent of the tsars opened the city's first fashion week of the year, held in Gostiny Dvor, a revamped 19th century exhibit hall near the Kremlin.

Pale-faced models displayed flowing cream and black dresses from the turn of the century under high-collared fur coats to an audience of hundreds of people, which included few members of the international press or foreign buyers.

"Russian fashion has been given back to us, it's arrived," said designer Valentin Yudashkin after his show.

Moscow mayor of 15 years Yuri Luzhkov took his place on the first row and enthusiastically applauded the celebrated designer, who has shops in western Europe and was recently commissioned by generals to dress the Russian military.

While the "fbg" edition - named after Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the street in Paris where the Hermes headquarters are situated - may seem an extravagant and unexpected pairing, there is a historical reason for the collaboration. Back in the 1920s, Ettore Bugatti and Émile Hermes met when Bugatti ordered a custom suitcase from Hermes for the first model of his car, and nearly 80 years later, the two companies decided to join forces again in homage to the original partnership.

Designed by Gabriele Pezzini, the interior features no visible stitches, utilizing the same sewing technique on the leather (bull calf) as on Hermes' famous saddles. An Hermes wallet designed especially for the car fits into a console, and the trunk comes with an Hermes suitcase already in place. Even the door handles reference the handle of the original suitcase designed for Ettore Bugatti.

So when you've had your fill of driving the Veyron par Hermes, can the leather interior be refashioned into, say, an Hermes "Kelly" bag?

"Now, why would you want to do that?" asked Stewart.

What makes this sports car so special? For one, with a 16-cylinder engine and 1001 horsepower, it's the fastest legal car on the market, with speeds from zero to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds. But for the fabulously wealthy, the addition of an Hermes-designed interior on top of the finest automotive technology is what makes it truly out of the ordinary.

"There are people in the world who want the very best," said Alasdair Stewart, Sales & Marketing Director of Bugatti, on why the time was right for a car like this, at the New York unveiling of the vehicle outside the Hermes store near Wall Street - across from the Stock Exchange - on Wednesday, April 2. Said Stewart, five have already been sold, and only 10-15 total will be made. Each car is made to order.

"To enter any project that you work on, you hope to realize the role, to realize the film, and at the end of the day you have your personal journey and you have the work that you were a part of," he pondered. "I'm nervous about the film opening because you want people to like it and you want to see what it's going to be. That's what you hope for."

He'll have to wait until next week to see exactly what audiences think of his latest film, which also co-stars Hugh Laurie, Jay Mohr, Cedric the Entertainer, John Corbett, and rappers Common and The Game. As Reeves tells it, however, he is actually already content with his experience on "Street Kings," no matter what happens at the box office.

"I'm just hoping to be able to work in different genres and play different roles. I think that we all hope to do different kinds of work and be challenged and stretched and hopefully to explore all that we can do as artists."

"It was a great role and I really liked the story and I guess it was kind of fun," Reeves said. "It was fun to be pushed to a place that I don't normally live in. I guess David (Ayer, the film's director) called me a hippie. The director's calling me a hippie and I get to kill eight people. So that's a good role to play!"

Reeves, whose more than 20-year acting career has included some of Hollywood's most successful films (from "The Matrix" to "Speed" to "Something's Gotta Give"), revealed that no matter how many times he experiences the release of a new project, he is always a bit on edge on opening day.

Perhaps the three "Street Kings" stars and their fellow actors from the film at the premiere, Naomie Harris, Terry Crews and Martha Higareda, were so cheerful because of the positive early reviews coming in for the movie, which opens on April 11. Their happiness spilled over to the assorted friends and colleagues who attended the premiere, including a very pregnant Minnie Driver, Elise Neal, Kristin Callavari, Rick Schroder, Sarah Carter and LisaRaye.

As Keanu Reeves told reporters at an earlier press conference for the gritty, violent flick, he was very glad to play an alcoholic, loose cannon police detective in "Street Kings." It was exactly what the 43-year-old actor needed to follow up his last offering, 2006's romance "The Lake House."
