Nevertheless, the founder of Raza Clothing ("Race" in Spanish) wears his cultural heritage as a badge of honor, designing clothes that truly make a statement.
His colorful t-shirts care adorned with images of the Aztec sun god, Day of the Dead calaveras, and other images that all glorify Mexico's indigenous roots. Those who wear Raza clothes and accessories are thus not only displaying genuine art, but also telling a story. According to an article in the Detroit Free Press: It's not just Mexican-Americans who are buying up Montalvo's designs. The bold colors and graphics are popular with skaters, appealing to "the hip-hoppers" and "to sneakerheads in 13 states and Japan".
