Kira Plastinina Comes Back to LA

Remember Kira Plastinina? Let us remind you. She was the 16-year-old Russian fashion designer and daughter of a billionaire businessman who launched a ton of boutiques in the U.S. last year only to close them all down just a few month later. See the details in happier times. Now 17, the designer plans to come back and open only 2 boutiques in L.A.. This time one will be called K.Plastinina (instead of Kira Plastinina) and the other, Pink Square (remember that obsession with pink?). We hear that their are plans for a high-end line in the works. Let's see how she does this time.

Kira Plastinina is coming stateside and in a big way with the launch of stores in LA, New York and Las Vegas with 50 more stores planned in the United States within the next three years. The brand already has 40 stores in Russia, 2 in the Ukraine and 2 in Kazakhstan. This could be your basic global expansion, but the fact is the designer behind the brand is only 15! You'll find 500 stores globally by the year 2010.

Kira Plastinina is generally like every other teenage girl, only she is at the helm of a multi-million dollar company. By day she attends the prestigious Anglo-American school in Moscow, but after school she is chauffeured to her office where she begins her second life as a budding fashion designer. Backed by her millionaire father Sergei Plastinin, Kira's company is making major waves in the fashion world. "Kira Plastinina is well on her way to becoming an international sensation,” says Sergei Plastinin." With up to 40 branches open in premium malls in Russia, we have had tremendous success in creating a unique luxury brand that targets the teen market. Our decision to expand globally to the U.S. comes from our extensive research into the market and our confidence that we will fill a niche.” In 2007, Paris Hilton was brought in to sit front row at Kira's show during Moscow Fashion Week for a reported $2 million and the designer has already been named Glamour Magazine's "Woman of the Year" under the category "Breakthrough of the Year". In early January of this year,
fashion editor's like Teen Vogue's Amy Astley was introduced
to Kira Plastinina through a private party produced by
Harrison & Shriftman to unveil the designers collection before New York Fashion Week began. We can't wait to watch the career of this young designer!
