Who is Kira Plastinina?

Kira is only 15-years-old but has conquered Russia and is now opening stores in the US. New York City will be home to the first Kira Plastinina store that arrived in March with ten other stores slated to open in Manhattan and Los Angeles. Kira Plastinina is the daughter of a wealthy Russian businessman, Sergei Plastinin. He is the co-founder of Wimm-Bill-Dann, Russia’s largest dairy and juice producer. Her father’s wealth has been both a blessing and curse for Kira in her attempts to break into the fashion industry. Rumors suggest she is just the “figurehead” of the company, but Kira insists she is behind all of the designs.The company and Kira Plastinina brand were founded by Kira’s father, but he did name her chief designer. Their partnership seems to be working as he handles the commercial side while Kira runs the creative side. Kira manages this while attending the Anglo-American School in Moscow. She eventually would like to continue her studies at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. If her current stores are any indication, Kira is well on her way to a great career. Her chain of stores are in Russia, the Ukraine, and Kazakhstan with over 40 locations. Kira is also branching out to television. She will serve as the official designer for the show ‘Star Factory,’ which is similar to ‘American Idol.’ I seriously think this girl is on her way and I pray I can be just like her!
