In 2007, the first Kira Plastinina store opened in Moscow, Plastinina introduced her first collection and became one of the youngest fashion designers in the world. Since then, the company has opened over 300 stores in Russia and CIS. In 2008, the company made an unsuccessful attempt to enter the U.S. market. The U.S. entity eventually filed for bankruptcy.
