This week spotlight focuses on Dimepiece. Dimpiece, a hip, urban, and edgy collection comprised of funky tees is a lifestyle and brand aimed at catering to “all the boss b*tches dipped in sauce”. These are the females that have the potential to make a positive impact and consistently turn heads. Summed up in a mission statement:
A DimePiece™ is a woman who appeals to her audience with genuine swag. She is a self-governing revolutionary who embodies all that is sexy. She proclaims her opinion and attitude through her adventurous dress. She is educated by the books as well as the streets. Our products are for all who want to make a statement and aren’t afraid to leave the restrictions at the door. Lets be ago-getter, a kitten with claws, a fashion aficionado and a memorable individual who is essentially the perfect ten.
Dimepiece was started by Ashley Dimes, Laura Marie (and another addition behind the scenes) in Los Angeles three years ago. The two ladies (pictured left) both received fashion degrees and started their seven piece line the summer of 2007 with the intent to change up things for women in urban fashion.
“We really felt like it was important to portray a positive message and substantial meaning behind the gear
itself.” The ladies say in a press release. “It was crucial for us that we created an identity that speaks for itself through its taste and visual communication. We want to avoid gimmicks and the biting schemes that are seen all-to-often in the market.”
It’s already been done. Hopefully their line will be more refreshing in the next few seasons.
I like those tees, but where are the urban models?
Okay I do not think iron ons make you a designer but if that is what the public is into then do your think ladies. Ish I should also start designing I have a helleva lot to say on a t-shirt.
LMAO @ #28. . . read/saw a little more and I’ll just say it doesn’t strike me as somethin I haven’t seen before.
Honestly looks like some of the things I see when I am at Forever 21….
But if this is their hustle more power to ‘em….
I MUST SAY, I DIDN’T AT FIRST, BUT I LIKE THE NEW HIGH WASITED JEAN LOOK, AS LONG AS THEIR TIGHT FITTING! I SAW NICOLE ON 106 YESTERDAY AND HER SHAPE WAS CRUCIAL IN THEM PANTS, SO I KNOW I WOULD LOOK GOOD IN A PAIR……..
I like this…umm I went to their site and I see they have some of their collection in DC. Its definitely worth checking out…
I love colors those colors!!! I went to their website and both of the shirts i liked were sold out and they don’t have a store here:( oh well it does look like something I can find in forever 21 but I aint mad@ them! get it girls
now that’s more of my style me likey
It’s cute but I don’t know if wearing it actually has a positive impact unless you’re looking for a man. This may be cute to wear if you’re a teenager or early 20s but as a woman in my 30s this is definitely not my style.
Good luck to them, though.
Yeah yeah whatever. Just sounds like another hustla to me, seducing y’all out of ur panties (and MONEY most importantly) by whispering sweet nothings in ya ear – i.e. a mission statement trying to convince u that as soon as u put on a DimePiece of clothing, it magically endows u with the mentality of superwoman or sumthin. Yeah right, just like crack. To TRULY be of that mentality IS TO KNOW oneself and the fact that the only sustainable source of that mentality is INSIDE u. All external things can only serve as placebos & catalysts for addiction to those things, and are therefore unsustainable & ephemeral as a source of INNER power. But y’all aint trying to hear that, and that’s why ur egos are a hustlas best friend. A “self-governing revolutionary” would make her own clothes and not wear what sum1 else tells her to.
I heard about Dimepiece about a month ago..There stuff goes hard…I love it and need to find myself some ASAP.
There clothes are alright, but it looks like it’s going to be for skinny woman lol I read a book yesturday called Doing His Time (Who said dating a baller was easy?) by Nichelle Walker the book was OFF THA CHAIN, it reminded me of The Coldest Winter Ever, I read the book in four hours i couldn’t put it down so if you want a good read pick it . anyway she say’s that she’s having a clothing line called Icey come out, So if ya’ll can post something from her line I would love to see her style it sound’s like it will be fly.
Finally something other than “swop meet” looking Urban apparel other than Baby Phat and Apple Bottom. No offense, but a lot of these cloting lines suck, especiallly H.O.D., which Beyonce can bearly fit in those damned clothes, hence, Momma Knowles had to come out with a fuller figure line…so I say” get gurls” and give Kimora and these other lines a run for their money! LOLOLOL at the Foxy Brown “Root of all Evil” Tee…her dumb azz just got arrested again for lying to the N.J. Police for some new damned drama…Throw Fox’s azz in the can finally please so we can hope for a somekind of Female to rep hip-hop, because if Remy and Fox is all we have right now, hip-hop is over from the feminine perspective!
The DimePiece logo tee with the suspenders is too cute!
I love colorful and printed tees!
i agree with 39. we need something diffrent than babyphat and rocawear
i like the styling-that pink jacket looks hot, as well as the high waisted trousers with the chains
#12
yeah the clothes look like what those ravers wear to boombox in hoxton (london)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! My kinda shit! I’m so into this. Thanks Tianna
DIGGING THE MESSAGE NOT REALLY FEELIN THE CLOTHES THOUGH-
what they doing has already been done……show me something that hasnt been done before, maybe then i ‘ll be interested.
I agree with #28.
I like it. it’s so 80ish!!
like some of the posters are saying it looks like basic tees to me. fitting tees with graphics. I don’t think I’ll be wearing a shirt with “bitch” on it, I know how they mean “bitch” but to go out in public with my kids, that’s won’t be a good look. This line is probably more for the younger crowd-the 18-25.
“ur egos are a hustlas best friend”
Best quote I’ve read this year.
@15 & 27….
the girl in the DimePiece shirt with the suspenders is “urban”/black. I know you can’t tell from that pic, but if you go to the site you’ll see more of her. Thanks.
thank you charm school. upgrade fa real
website down or sumthin, not feelin it
I love DMPC! It’s kind of cool to see that featured on this site.
yo their tees are sooo cute =] def something i’d rock.
I’m feeling it. Looks cute
LOVE HOW PEOPLE TAKE AFRICAN AMERICAN SLANG …TWEEK IT AND MAKE MONEY OFF OF US!
DIMEPIECE……HMPH
Im a 4 sure dime piece but some of these clothes look like sevens.
Cloths are “raggy” wear and the models are anorexic.
Yall go on ahead and jump aboard that wagon.Im gonna tell it like I see it,and that shyt is WACK. Looks like something made in Arts and Crafts! Even their definiton of what it is isnt enough to make me want to go out and spend big $$ on it. A $99 store tea shirt with cut out pics from a magazine pasted on them is what it loiks like.
I’ve heard of this brand before. It kind of reminds me of Hellz-Bellz.
Btw that all black outfit is sickkkkkk!
I’d rock it.i love fashion that pops and this is it.:)
If you want to be a true fashion diva or divo(for all you guys)lol put together your own shyt. Designing your own t shirts isnt that hard to do if you can come up with a creative concept.Lets face it these companies will charge an arm and leg for their clothing and it doesnt look worth what they charge . Furthermore it wont be so unique when every body and their mama start rocking it, which people do when trends start to take off . Me Im into alot of vintage accessories so I know that 100 other bytches wont have on the same shyt as me when I hit the town!
CUTE CLOTHES, NOT SURE IF THE NAME REPRESENTS THE CLOTHING STYLE, BUT I WOULD WEAR THE SMALL TEE!!!
The best way to look cheap. My 10 (two) cents.
UMM DIPPED IN SAUCE? WHAT? THEY MUST BE FROM MA TOWN!

Haha, Uh oh, I think y’all Slashdotted the place.*

Beyonce’s band-aid lol WHERE DID YOU SEE KELIS’S STUFF??? I’VE GOT TO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh@the clothes…ok…
i like them t-shirts.
id have one with Foxy Brown’s crazy ass.
[in voice of Borat: "Very nice."]
lol
I like da first outfit it’s cute.
I THINK IT’S FUNNY HOW THE MAJORITY OF PPL ON HERE ARE SO QUICK TO HYPE THE LINE UP. YEA, THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF CUTE PIECES, BUT AS ANOTHER COMMENTER MENTIONED. . WHERE ARE THE BLACK/BROWN MODELS????? IT JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE HOOD THROWS AN ASSLOAD OF MONEY INTO THIS COMPANY BUYING UP ALL THEIR STUFF, JUST TO HAVE THE OWNERS RELEASE A STATEMENT SAYING THAT DIMEPIECE WAS NEVER INTENDED FOR “CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHICS” (READ BLACK FOLK). I’M ALL FOR PPL HAVING A HUSTLE, HELL, I’M ALL FOR PRETTY CLOTHES. BUT DAMN, HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO LET MOFO’S STEAL OUR SWAGGER, MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT, THEN DISS US. SERIOUSLY PPL, YOUR SOUL HAS TO BE WORTH MORE THAN THE PRICE OF A GRAPHIC TEE.
this is the first time ive seen a hip hop fashion line without a black person in the ad. i dont know what opinion to form from that, but it didnt go unnoticed. looks cute, like rihannas stylist has some influence
& where they get off callin ppl “bitches dipped in sauce”??? wtf does that mean?
hello? there is a beautiful black woman modeling the clothes in the summer collaboration feature…
too quick to judge and not doing any research. tisk tisk.
oh dont hate. that white girl that modeled for dimepiece summer colab also is the model for HOD
i see an asian girl a white girl and a black girl on thier site. sucks for multicultural doesnt it?
also maybe you didnt know but one of the owners is half black. that sucks too.
crazy huh?
lets all pull the racist card on dimepiece.
yay !
the high wasted pants on ole girl coming at me like the grudge are soo nice. very 80s glam. the 80s are back with a vengence!
