Designer Mascha Shumikina presents the debut of the UniPant Line, an original hybrid garment that dramatically blurs the line between the feminine skirt and the masculine trouser. A patented design inspired by the landscapes and poetry of the nomadic culture, it unites the essence of eastern conservatism with western freedom.
An innovative, hand-crafted design with a distinct silhouette of relaxed drape-constructed volume and body-conscious elements, the UniPant starts as trousers, runs down and unites to become a skirt. The unique structure and shape of the garment are more pronounced through the natural movements of the human body, gently unveiling and continually transforming with each step, evoking a sense of being simultaneously hidden and revealed.
Mascha Shumikina possesses the passion and vision of an artist always moving forward, with a maturity and delicate balance apparent in her designs. Through her lifelong research into the combination of design, fine arts, architecture and photography, she offers a multi-layered investigation into the nature of how we perceive the world through a network of visual, aural and linguistic signals. In all of her creative endeavors she finds the human body to be the most exciting, expressive medium to explore.
