Tina Craig,
Amber Venz and Krystal Schlegel mingled with editors from Harper’s Bazaar Russia as waiters passed out Prosecco and specialty
pink cocktails in the Plaza at Preston Center. Who could have drawn together a
100 + crowd of Dallas’ style super stars? Kira Plastinina, a Russian fashion
designer and SMU senior, of course. Plastinina’s new store LUBLU celebrated its
grand opening party on Aug. 28, 2013. Plastinina chatted with The Daily Campus about her special night
and vision for LUBLU.

 

 

DC: For any shoppers who haven’t been lucky enough to visit LUBLU just yet, can you walk them through the design of your store? What are some of your favorite decor highlights?

 

KP: The LUBLU Kira Plastinina flagship store embraces the brand’s DNA; Daring, Savvy and Feminine. I wanted a space where shoppers could enter the LUBLU Kira Plastinina lifestyle, a space functional and sophisticated yet welcoming. For the store’s finishings, we used an ivory and bronze color palate while mixing different textures such as leather and stone to enhance the richness of the collection.

 

DC: What three different pieces can Dallasites expect to find in LUBLU?

 

KP: I love the whole collection! This is a hard question as every piece tells a different story for the season. I love all our prints. We create the prints in house each season. I mixed the bold prints with different fabrications and textures, adding extra details to the garment. I also love our knits for fall. They are a perfect item to pair with jeans running around town or dress up with a leather pant or skirt.

 

DC: What do you think LUBLU uniquely brings to The Plaza at Preston Center?

 

KP: We are thrilled to be part of The Plaza at Preston Center. The Plaza holds several contemporary boutiques and lifestyle stores that complement the LUBLU collection. The area continues to attract the latest and greatest in fashion. I think we bring new look to for the ever-growing Dallas market. We are excited for the brand’s growth in Dallas, my adopted hometown.

 

LUBLU is located at 8383 Preston Center Plaza.
