Celebrity Spotlight: Kira Plastinina

Fall/Winter 2012 Collection

You have probably heard of Kira Plastinina, the 20-year-old fashion prodigy who opened her first shop in Moscow at just 16 years old. Not only has this young heiress launched a prominent fashion career envied by the more experienced hard-hitters in the industry, but she also has become a role model for young women all around the world.

Plastinina’s hard work and dedication has led her to unimaginable success and popularity in the fashion industry. Known as the “Paris Hilton of Russia,” Kira is the face of teen fashion in her country and has gained the support and friendship of many American “It Girls,” including Paris Hilton, Leighton Meester, Katy Perry and Brie Larson.

With Plastinina’s 2008 U.S. launch of her prestigious teen line, she gained even more respect and notability.

“(The line) is young, fresh and beautiful,” said Brie Larson at the U.S. launch in an interview with comedian and columnist Angela Manfredi. “This is high quality designer clothing, and it can appeal to everyone.”

Americans fell in love with her girly couture and began to flood her website with orders. Her 2012 fall/winter collection is expected to bring even more success.

Unlike most fall collections, Plastinina’s consists of pastel hues and flattering geometric designs.

“The collection has a very fresh, feminine look to it, and it incorporates bright colors, which is perfect for a gradual transition to fall,” MU freshman Javia Gilliam said.

College students wearing pieces from this collection are sure to stand out in a crowd filled with boring greys and drab browns. This preppy collection can fit the mold for college girls who want to make a statement during classes, while hanging out on autumn nights or even when dressing up for game days.

“I think these designs are appropriate for SEC games because they allow students to show school spirit while still getting dressed up,” MU sophomore Lauren Hasse said. “It’s important for students to try to dress up for games this year to show our support for our team in this new division.” 

Plastinina is in the prime of her career, and her wonderful collections are sure to be around for a long time. Her youthful mind and mature talent are the perfect recipe for success … and a fabulous wardrobe.
