NEW YORK, April 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Designer Mascha Shumikina presents the debut of the UniPant Line (www.unipant.com), 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.

The UniPant Line is an ongoing artistic exploration with development focused on researching fabrics, new cuts and modifications. An elegant and sensual contemporary ballet presentation can be experienced at www.unipant.com.
