Welcome to Blaxicana Couture
​
Alece Plasencia, Artist, creates one-of-a-kind wearable art — custom denim that tells a story.

reimagined by Alece, exclusively for the collector, as a one-of-one original.
​
Each work is numbered and archived as wearable art and is accompanied by a
signed Certificate of Authenticity​. Each piece is made to order in your size, hand-crafted
with couture-level detail, using hand-selected textiles and cultural storytelling.

Denim in the Desert
An Art Installation & Fashion Showcase
April 16, 2026 — Ace Hotel & Swim Club, Palm Springs
5pm - 9pm
A Fine-Art Fashion Experience During Coachella Weekend Two
Denim in the Desert is an immersive, curated art evening where wearable art, sound, and storytelling converge beneath the desert sky.
Conceived and presented by fine artist Alece Plasencia, this invitation-only exhibition transforms the Ace Hotel into a living gallery. Guests move through a series of art-driven moments: a runway installation featuring one-of-one Blaxicana Couture jackets, sculptural displays, live performances by emerging musicians, and sonic landscapes crafted by guest DJs.
More than a fashion event, Denim in the Desert is a cultural presentation—an exploration of identity, craftsmanship, and contemporary art through the medium of denim. Collectors, curators, and creatives are invited to engage directly with the artist, view the Vault Collection, and experience Blaxicana Couture as it evolves toward its natural home: esteemed art houses, private collections, and auction stages.

I Tell Stories on Denim
​
Artist Statement
Alece Plasencia | Blaxicana Couture
​
Hello, my name is Alece Plasencia, founder and artist behind Blaxicana Couture
I work exclusively with private clients to create a timeless masterpiece on
denim to tell your story.​
​
Each jacket is one of one that tells a story and comes with a certificate of
authenticity as luxury wearable art.
​
Denim is my canvas—where fashion, music, and art converge into wearable works of art.
I reimagine the classic denim jacket through luxury craftsmanship, lining each collector piece with my signature Chinese brocade fabric. Every jacket is a one-of-one creation—never duplicated—because each story I tell is singular and unrepeatable.
​
My work draws from lived experience: world travel, cultural heritage, and a devotion to artistry. Each piece is hand-embellished with intention, designed not only to be worn but to be collected, cherished, and passed down as a symbol of individuality.
​
Rejecting fast fashion, I embrace sustainability by creating enduring works that honor both tradition and innovation. My jackets invite collectors to express their own uniqueness through pieces that hold meaning far beyond trend.
​
I am honored to have my work featured year-round at the renowned Imago Galleries in Palm Desert, California, and within the private collections of those who recognize that fashion and fine art are inseparable.
​
As an artist, my purpose is to celebrate the beauty of diversity—where music, culture, fashion, and art come together to tell stories on denim.
About Me
​
My name is Alece Plasencia, Artist and CEO of Blaxicana Couture.
I was born and raised in San Francisco, where my love for design, fashion, music, and art was first shaped by the energy of the city.
For many years, I worked as an educator — but my calling as an artist never left me. Eventually, I returned to my true passion and created Blaxicana Couture, named after my daughter, Choice, who remains both my muse and my greatest inspiration.
I chose denim as my medium because it is timeless, universal, and resilient — much like the stories I tell through my work. My custom jackets are not garments; they are wearable art pieces. Each one is conceived as a collaboration between myself and the creative who wears it, designed to express individuality, legacy, and spirit.
​
About the Brand
Blaxicana Couture is a house of one-of-one collector
jackets — handmade in Los Angeles and finished with
my signature silk lining and embroidered insignia. Every detail is intentional. From the cut of the denim to the placement of embellishments, each piece becomes a statement of culture, identity, and artistry.
My work is inspired by the vivid colors of travel, the rhythm of music, and the fusion of art forms that cross cultures. These jackets are meant not just to be worn, but to be experienced — sparking conversation, creating community, and leaving behind a legacy of self-expression.
​
The Collector's
I have had the honor of creating for music artists, dancers, muralists, actors, and cultural visionaries. Each client becomes part of my extended story, and in return, they carry with them a piece of art that is theirs alone.
Blaxicana Couture pieces are revealed only at exclusive showcases throughout the year, including my signature event every April during Weekend Two of the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Palm Springs. My work is also exhibited year-round at the prestigious Imago Galleries in Palm Desert, where I am proud to be recognized as a featured artist in wearable art.
​
An Invitation
Blaxicana Couture is not fast fashion. It is art — created with intention, offered in rarity, and cherished by those who understand that what they wear is a reflection of who they are.
I invite you to step into this world, by attending one of my private Collectors Room showcases or attending my signature event, presented by my sister brand, Blaxicana Fest: Denim in the Desert in Palm Springs in April 2026.
​
Blaxicana Couture is more than clothing. It is culture, it is legacy, it is art.
