Artist Statement
My name is Alece Plasencia-Artist
Some artists paint. Some sculpt. I tell stories on denim.
I gather symbols, textures, fragments of memory, and pieces of culture and I let them
speak to each other. Roses, patches, thread, fabric, crystals, fringe,… they become
characters in a story, a chapter in my House of Roses book.
​
I build each piece slowly, by hand, letting intuition guide the composition. A whisper of a muse,
a shadow of music, a place I have traveled, a culture that I have experienced,
all become my inspiration.
Each piece becomes a singular artifact, a one-of-one relic that is timeless.
​
Every creation leaves my studio with:
a Certificate of Authenticity, numbered and with provenance.
A Blaxicana Couture jacket is exhibited as art and every piece is a personal chapter,
a story of a muse entrusted to its collector.
​
HOUSE OF ROSES
​
Each year inside the House, the artist selects a muse—
chosen for spirit, narrative, and cultural resonance.
The muse guides the vision.
The vision becomes the jacket.
The jacket becomes the artifact.
​
THE MUSE MODEL
The muse becomes the compass of the House of Roses — a living inspiration whose
artistry, presence, and cultural pulse guide the year’s narrative.
Through them, the jackets take shape like chapters in a book: shifting in tone, texture,
and symbolism as the story unfolds. Studio Editions emerge in intentional
intervals/chapters with each collector receiving a special gift once acquired.
Each work is crafted as a fine art piece, meant to be held, documented, and remembered.
​
Muse No. 1 will be revealed on January 18, 2026.
​
THE STORYBOOK

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, Denim in the Desert in Palm Springs in April 2026.
​
Blaxicana Couture
It is culture, it is legacy,
it is art.
