About

Raissa Palacios

I am a Mexican-American designer/artist who reflects on my personal relationship with clothing through design and textile manipulation. My aim is to deconstruct the boundaries between fashion and art.

Most recently I have been experimenting with designing waste-led knitwear. I have five years of experience in fashion resale that informs my work.

I am currently living in Oakland, CA. Born and raised in the Fruitvale neighborhood of East Oakland.
