Kira Plastinina

Okay, so her dad is the bajillionaire orange juice king of Russia and she's been called the Paris Hilton of Russia but she's also a 15 year old fashion designer with 50 stores in Russia and new ones in NYC and appearances on America's Next Top Model and MTV's TRL.

I admit to being a bit of a cynic but her stuff is really cute - and it has the added bonus of being affordable too. Her designs are great, she is sweet and smart and talented. And she has support. BIG support.

When she was 14, her father recognized her talent and supported her efforts.  When he saw her designs, he thought it was a great chance to diversify his business - and immediately hired teams of people to make it happen.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, not everyone's parents have access to the kind of resources she did.
BKFK can be that support for brilliant kids without access to those kinds of resources. We work to find the best ideas and then help give them support in the form of connecting to real life experiences, getting patents, licensing agreements.

We'll be launching an unleash your idea locker challenge on Wednesday, October 1. We'll be taking any and all entries - products, services, russian princess lines of clothing, you name it.
