About the Creator...

 

 

b. East Los Angeles 

Rene Camarillo is an East Los Angeles born and raised creator who produces hand crafted apparel with themes of immigration, labor, cholo silhouettes, and other personal East Los Angeles mementos. In an industry where commerce overtakes creativity, Rene Camarillo continues to cross examine and critique social engagement of fashion fiber and materials. With storytelling collections and wearable art that investigate the prescribed narrative of the Latinx existence, Camarillo established the design label, destacarse., where Rene Camarillo hand patterns, constructs, and produces each abstract garment with both integrity and curiosity.
