Hilton, wearing a Petro Zillia midnight blue satin jumpsuit, had missed her sister Nicky's spring Chick collection earlier in the week.

"I've been shooting a film in Toronto for two months," Hilton told The Associated Press, adding that she had arrived in town the night before for Spike TV's Scream Awards and to see Petro Zillia's "great collection."

The last time Tochterman showed at L.A. Fashion Week was two years ago. Last year, the L.A.-based designer opened her first store, soaking in the trendy street styles of women in the area.

Thursday's collection triumphantly reflected that influence, with block colors as bright and California fresh as Tochterman's pink hair, and dresses either skimming the thigh or swept low to the ground.

Only a daring woman would don the see-through black dress with enormous gold-edged flowers shown at the collection's end. Then again, the gown brought a zesty finish to Mercedes-Benz L.A. Fashion Week.

The week's 34 shows included designers Sue Wong, Randolph Duke, Christian Audigier, Kevan Hall, Jeremy Scott, Heatherette and Monarchy Collection, which presented its looks on a catwalk of green grass.
