After months of sneak peeks and previews, the DimePiece SS09 collection called “Plastic City” is finally here and the head dimes at DMPC, Laura and Ashley, have outdone themselves again. This season’s collection has a variety of racer-back tunics, tanks, and slouchy scoop neck tees all with the usual in your face graphics. Also included are two structured pieces, the Napolean vest and Zig-Zag mini skirt, perfect for when you want to fancy up your swag but without girly frills. You can view the Plastic City look book here.

Like collections in the past, DMPC has relied on the clothing they create to get out a specific message.  First, their name “DimePiece” is ironic and meant “to turn the perception of the word around and be able to use it proudly.”  For “Plastic City” Barbie (”the plastic devil”) was both their muse and nemesis.  The collection questions “the immense physical idealism that Hollywood puts on its youth and the youth across the globe.” Basically, there’s more to you than what you look like.  Well said ladies.

DimePiece began after a three-year venture with a group of Los Angeles-based females in the street wear lifestyle and industry. The ladies of DimePiece felt it was time to utilize their degrees and pursue their careers more seriously. DimePiece consists of Ashley Dimes, Laura Marie and “a masked rabbit who chills on the side in the cuts.”

Ashley, 22, and Laura, 21, both received fashion degrees and having been working within the fashion biz for some time. They knew it was the right formula when they got voted best-dressed in high school senior year. Their official start began in Summer 2007 on independent funds, where they released a seven-piece line with the intent to make females reconsider their role in the game. The ladies really felt like it was important to portray a positive message and substantial meaning behind the gear itself. It was crucial for them that they created an identity that speaks for itself through its taste and visual communication. They want to avoid gimmicks and the biting schemes that are seen all-to-often in the market. In lamens terms, DimePiece doesn’t turn to blog resources or the hype. The ladies believe in their own vision and go with it. They want their gear to voice the traits, vibe and personality of the wearer and garments that express themselves.
