The famous designer of the 2000s is celebrating an anniversary today. At one time, her name was on everyone’s lips: young girls dreamed of something from the Plastinina brand, and world stars came to their shows – even Paris Hilton did not deprive Kira of her clothes.
But for several years now nothing has been heard about Kira: the stores of her brand are no longer so often seen in shopping centers, and the girl herself is not a frequent guest of secular Moscow life (and in general, it seems, she has not been in Russia for a long time).
how it all started
Kira was born into a wealthy family. Her mother is a linguist by education, co-founder of Children’s Musical Academy. My father is a businessman, a shareholder of Wimm-Bill-Dann. Food”. Kira also has a brother and sister – Alexander and Antonina.
Since childhood, parents fulfilled all the wishes of Kira, so when the girl wanted to design clothes, an influential father gave money for her daughter’s hobby. She became the founder of her own brand at the age of 14. Every day after school, Kira went to her own office, where she developed a new collection.
The job cost a lot of money. It is known that Sergei Plastinin spent $ 35 million on his daughter’s hobby. A good amount was also spent on brand promotion to grab the attention of the buyer. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Nicole Richie, Georgia May Jagger, Paris Hilton reviewed Kira Plastinina’s first boutiques in Moscow. Naturally, each star’s visit costs money.
But, according to Sergey Plastinin, she did not spare a penny for her daughter’s dream: “She dressed her dolls from the age of six, drew well, but neither I nor her mother attached any importance to her abilities.”
Kira Plastinina’s stores appeared not only in Russia, but also abroad. In 2008, 12 boutiques were opened in the USA. True, they had to quickly close due to the crisis – only in 2009 two stores in Los Angeles continued to work.

Kira Plastinina was very upset by the collapse of her business. The support of her fiancé Trey Valletta helped her cope with the loss.
