From Russia, with backing from dad

It's a teenage girl's dream-and Kira Plastinina's reality. With an assist from her multimillionaire dad, the 15-year-old Russian has her own fashion label. She already has 31 outlets in Russia and Ukraine. Now she's eyeing the U.S., planning 10 stores in Los Angeles and New York, launching the first in Manhattan in March. A few months ago, her father, dairy tycoon Sergei Plastinin, paid Paris Hilton (right, with Plastinina) a reported $2 million to model her collection in Moscow, leading British tabloid The Mail On Sunday to dub her one of Russia's “spoilt bratskis.” But her designs-lots of pink, purple, and frills-are a hit with Russian teens, who pay $60 to $75 for her miniskirts and blouses. “I think girls respond to how cute they look in the clothes,” says Natalie Hormilla, a writer for Fashionista.com
