 Kira Plastinina Pays Paris $2M To Endorse Brand A 15 year old fashion designer is making waves globally for her incredible designing capabilities. She did however have a boost when launching her brand. Backed by her millionaire father, Sergei Plastinina, the co-founder of Wimm-Bill-Dann, Russia’s largest dairy and juice producer, Kira Plastinina has opened more than 40 clothing stores across Russia, the Ukraine, and Kazakhstan and she is scheduled to launch stores in America later this year. The young teen, who is enrolled in a Moscow high school, says she seeks her inspiration from Paris Hilton (yikes!) and reportedly paid $2 million for the hotel heiress to appear as the guest of honor at her fashion show during Moscow Fashion Week.
 "It's a lot of work and it's impossible for one person to do all of it," she said. Although she does not personally design every piece, she approves all of them. As she sifts through the racks of clothing and leafs through sheets of sketches, she is full of questions and suggestions. She knows her stuff and she knows what she wants.
