Published 25 October, 2007, 22:33

The new lady in Roman Abramovich's life has appeared in Moscow to take part in the opening of a fashion boutique. Darya Zhukova shot to fame when pictures of the couple were plastered on the front pages of newspapers around the world.

Although she's famous for dating one of the world's richest men, Ms Zhukova has a wealth of talent all her own.

Darya is the leading designer of ‘Kova and T’, a fashion house specialising in expensive women's outfits. 

But shoppers will need to have deep pockets to build their wardrobes from the firm's first Moscow outlet.  A pair of jeans by 'Kova and T' will set you back about $US 200

Although Zhukova is only now making her debut on the High Street, her name has long been known to fashion aficionados and celebrities. Those in the know have been wearing Zhukova numbers for some time. 

Hollywood stars Mischa Barton and the Olsen Twins have all been seen out in ‘Kova and T’ creations.

It is reported that Roman Abramovich was unable to find time to visit his lady’s boutique opening. 

The oil tycoon and billionaire owner of Chelsea Football Club is featured in a new book about the women behind some of Russia's richest oligarchs.
