Kira Plastinina was called the youngest designer in Russia. Her fashion collections were sold in Moscow, London, Milan. World celebrities - Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Janet Jackson came to the shows for the young talent. But after 2014, the talented girl suddenly disappeared from the public's sight, and soon her fashion business was on the verge of ruin. It turned out that Kira moved to the United States, where she decided to start a new life. In 2017, Plastinina got married and now devotes herself to quiet family joys.
Early start
The name of Kira Plastinina thundered all over the country in March 2007, when the debut show of the young designer's collection took place. The girl at that time was not even 15 years old. Her father, a prominent businessman Sergei Plastinin, was involved in promoting her creative ideas. He gained fame as the head of the board of the Wimm-Bill-Dann company, which has been producing juices, non-carbonated drinks and dairy products for Russian consumers for almost 20 years. His daughter Kira was born in 1992, from an early age the girl was fond of drawing and coming up with outfits for her dolls.
Plastinin noticed the heiress's talents and in 2006 assembled a team of professionals for her to help create the first fashion collection. In 2007, immediately from the catwalk, the clothes migrated to the Kira Plastinina brand store in Moscow. All teen magazines wrote about the young designer, showed stories on youth channels, so that the attention of the target audience was ensured. After all, the outfits invented by Kira were intended for girls 15-25 years old. According to the creative idea of the author, her clothes were a mixture of styles - glamorous, sporty and casual.
To advertise fashionable creations Plastinina was one of the first entrusted with the super popular at that time socialite Paris Hilton. In the fall of 2007, she briefly came to Moscow to personally meet Kira, see her store and support the young talent. According to rumors, the famous American party girl was paid $ 2 million for this visit.
Just a year later, Kira went global, presenting her collection at Milan Fashion Week. The fashion empire created by the girl's father grew and developed from year to year. The brand's chain of stores covered not only Russia and the countries of the former USSR, but also reached the USA, Italy, China, and Great Britain.
In 2011, Plastinina presented a luxury collection under the LUBLU Kira Plastinina brand. From now on, she planned to release two clothing lines at once - democratic and more expensive. Model Georgia May Jagger came to congratulate the girl on her new beginning at the LUBLU show. At the end of September 2011, pop star Britney Spears came to visit the young designer, who performed in Moscow and St. Petersburg with her show Femme Fatale.
And just a year later, Janet Jackson expressed a desire to appreciate the creations of Kira. In addition, during the existence of the brand, his creations were represented by Lindsay Lohan, Karlie Kloss. It seemed that a little more and Kira Plastinina will turn into a generally recognized global brand. Although in reality the company was inexorably approaching financial ruin.
Departure to the USA and bankruptcy
After 2014, the designer disappeared from the gossip, and her shows ceased to attract the former excitement. The journalists found out that Kira went to study in the United States, and Jan Heere, who previously worked for the Marks & Spencer brand, took over at the helm of the company. Soon, rumors spread about the impending bankruptcy of Plastinina's fashion business. By 2016, the brand's debts to creditors reached 500 million rubles.
As the journalists found out, earlier the company was kept afloat by the financial support of Sergey Plastinin. This money helped to compensate for the losses. But in 2011, the businessman left his senior position at Wimm-Bill-Dann and apparently decided to cut his expenses. According to rumors, his total investment in his daughter's brand amounted to about 3 billion rubles. Until recently, he hoped that the company would become self-sufficient and start making a profit. Alas, the miracle did not happen and in 2017 the fashion business went bankrupt.
Kira herself was not in Russia when the drama unfolded with the ruin of her beloved brainchild. In 2014, the girl entered Columbia University for an MBA course. She wanted to learn more about aspects of building a successful business that, in her opinion, are as important as original creative ideas. Unfortunately, the knowledge gained by Plastinina was never useful. However, the designer clearly enjoyed life in the United States, continued to actively maintain Instagram and even hinted to subscribers about imminent changes in her personal life.
Beach wedding
For a long time, Kira hid her chosen one from the public. Previously, nothing was known about her love interests in Russia. In 2008, she starred in the video for the popular duet "BiS", after which the press started talking about Plastinina's romance with singer Vlad Sokolovsky. In fact, young people have known each other since childhood and have kept warm friendly relations.
Finally, in January 2017, Kira shared photos from the wedding celebration with her Instagram subscribers. The holiday took place on the warm coast of Mexico. The girl's chosen one was American businessman Trey Vallet. As Plastinina later said, she met her future husband while studying at an Anglo-American school in Moscow. Before going to the altar together, the lovers met for 8 years. Trey supported Kira during the bankruptcy story of her company.
Since the couple permanently resides in America, they decided to arrange a wedding not far from home. Moreover, in Mexico in January there is paradise weather, in contrast to snowy Russia. The celebrations took a total of four days. On the first two days, the future spouses organized parties for their guests with songs, dances, informal communication and tasting Mexican food. On the third day, a wedding ceremony and a banquet were planned. The bride wore a tight-fitting snow-white dress with bare shoulders and a train. Cyrus's hair was decorated with a short veil. On the way to the altar, her father Sergei Plastinin accompanied her.
The exchange of vows and mutual "yes" took place right on the beach, here in the open air for the guests were served tables covered with blue tablecloths - in the color of the ocean. The next day, the newlyweds arranged a farewell dinner for the guests. By the way, following American traditions, all invited Kira and Trey prepared small souvenir sets in memory of this day.
The couple spent their honeymoon on the island of Sardinia, and chose the state of Texas for permanent residence. Shortly after the wedding, Kira said that she was giving a course of lectures on fashion business at one of the American universities. Basically, she shares on Instagram not her creative plans, but photos of a cute family vacation. The girl once mentioned about "eventful and emotional youth", so perhaps she wants to take a short break in her career and enjoy personal happiness.
