MY STORY
My name is Alece Plasencia, Artist/CEO for Blaxicana Couture.
My brand is inspired by music, fashion, and art with the goal of promoting diversity and creativity via wearable art pieces.
My personal passion as an artist began in my childhood growing up in the early 1970s in San Francisco. During this political time of many movements, (gay rights, civil rights, feminist movement, and more), my parents made sure I understood that the world is diverse with people of various cultures and backgrounds which should be embraced. As an artist, I strive to reflect this diversity in my original wearable art pieces.
In addition, I am also inspired by my world travels along with music and art.
My one of a kind designs are all hand-crafted, luxury couture, made with denim as my backdrop. All jackets include my signature lining, elegant Chinese brocade, one of the most expensive fabrics in the world and contain hand sewn appliques, unique gems, and other embellishments.
It is my goal as an artist is to create one-of-a-kind pieces for people to value as wearable art and timeless pieces.
"Embrace Diversity Via Fashion”
