Kira делает одежду!

Kira Plastinina dress.JPGWe received a look book today unlike most of the look books we normally see. What was so different about it? We'd actually wear the clothes.


Even more notable is the fact that the designer, Kira Plastinina, is all of fifteen years old.

We have to admit it: before checking out her designs, we were ready to laugh our faces off - her image as the Russian Nicky Hilton is well documented, and nobody really goes in with a soft heart for rich teenagers given access to all their daddy's money.

But we have to say, the clothes speak for themselves. Her line isn't available in the US just yet (but if you happen to live in Russia, you can shop at any of her 34 stores), but there are plans in the works.

Isn't it interesting that a 15-year-old Russian can be in the fashion industry without being a model?

they're cute, but nothing revolutionary; though she is only 15, so this is great if you look it at that way.
i like the violet mini dress the most.

its so very boring (compared to other designer lookbooks, not in comparison to miss hilton), but good for her. i wanted to be a fashion designer when i was 15 too...

she's seems to know alot about fashion, and what styles appeal to all kinds of people. Especially since she's only 15!
I'd definetly wear some of her clothes :)

I like the last look, I'd wear it with a waist belt.
Does she really design all by herself though?

whether or not she designs her own clothes is debatable, but her father is one of the richest men in russia, and is funding (driving) the venture. they're planning on opening 10 stores in NY and LA during just the first half of 2008, so keep your eyes open.

actually, from this look book you got your hands on it looks like the clothes are MUCH nicer than the stuff i saw when i wrote about her back in november. maybe she's cleaning up her style for the US market?
