Coming up next we have Dimepiece Designs, which just might hold the place in my heart of fav female streetwear brand. LA based Dimepiece is fairly new to the game. Started in 2007 by the lovely Laura and adventurous Ashley (corny, I know) Dimepiece has pretty much already found it’s way to the front of the line. The name alone should already tell you what the deal is here. It’s all about powerful woman that take charge and simply don’t give a damn what anyone else has to say. What I really like about Dimepiece is the fact that the designers don’t just throw things on a shirt and call it wearable, there’s meaning in the things they create. Perfect example is the Barbie Clones tank I copped a few months ago. It’s a tank (pictured above) that at first simply appears to have a bunch of barbie heads all over it. Upon further inspection you’ll note that the words “Plastic City” are printed in between two of the faces. It’s a quick tribute to how plastic and fake Hollywood and the overall entertainment biz is and how everyone looks like…well everyone else. I love it. And I copped it the second I saw it. Lol. My first Dimepiece piece was a hot pink tee with the words “DON’T LOSE YOUR SENSES” printed across the whole front of the shirt. There’s a pile of that white stuff on top of the D and a line (yes that kind of line) sprinkled across the bottom. A rolled up dollar bill appears to be taking a shot at the pile on top of the D. I was in college at the time and I loved rockin it on campus. I went to a private school that cost about 38G’s a year so you can grasp the connection. Hilarious. If you don’t know, now you know. In addition to dope gear, they also have a dope ass site. Get at Dimepiece…NOW!!! http://www.dimepiecedesigns.com/
