Spotlight on Kira Plastinina

I’m so excited to share with y’all an article I wrote on the opening of Kira Plastinina’s LUBLU boutique in Preston Center. With over 250 stores under her belt, another store may not seem like a big deal to some. But for Kira, the new Dallas location of her popular LUBLU brand hits close to home. Kira sweetly squeezed me into her busy schedule of managing a hugely successful global fashion empire, SMU Communication Studies classes and Theta sorority sisters—How does she do it all?!
