Dresses, dresses, dresses! Shoes, shoes, shoes! That’s what is up at this little boutique located at 159 Kings Road, Chelsea. The clothing is mostly designer, think Anna Sui, and a tad Eurotrashie, but good party dresses can be found here.

Kira Plastinina
If you’re a fan of Dasha Zhukova then you might enjoy meeting 15-year-old fashion designer and Paris Hilton wannabe Kira. Another star of the young Russian “bratski”, Kira is a phenomenon in Moscow where she has her own chain of high street stores which specializes in cheap-chic apparel similar to that of H&M and Topshop. The daughter of businessmen Sergei Plastinin (co-founder of Wimm-Bill-Dann, Russia’
s largest dairy producer), Kira was given a £50million leg up from pops to start her line and he has been supportive ever since, reportedly paying Paris Hilton £1million in 2007 to make an appearance at a Kira show. Luckily for Sergei Kira is dedicated and hopes to study at Parsons while over seeing the New York store (which was supposed to open in March 2008). (click through for more)
