I am Helen Panteleienko, designer and artist behind the signature collection of magic caftans. My pieces are created on the basis of ancient shamans' apparel and feature symbols of three worlds—the core of our universe—as imagined by our ancestors. Made from Tencel with nano processing, these garments are environmentally friendly and aim for minimal waste. The PICNIC CAMP CAPE is a versatile piece that can be worn as a cape, spread as a picnic blanket, or transformed into a tent, reflecting a moment to recharge from the frantic pace of life. It features comics-style prints of endangered animal species having dialogues about planet pollution, drawing on Tingatinga style and Adinkra symbols to convey messages about hope and ecological responsibility. The brand Sladge grew from a desire to breathe new life into old things. The name comes from a playful twist on sludge—the sediment at the bottom of the ocean—symbolizing hidden layers becoming visible again. I was inspired by my grandmother's wardrobe and the dream of fashionable things, and I design to transform the old into the new while preserving nature. My work draws on symbolism and storytelling—my prints, whether in caftans or accessories, invite viewers to reflect on our planet's future generations and the choices we make today.…I am Helen Panteleienko, designer and artist behind the signature collection of magic caftans.
