The Dimepiece Spring 2012 collection is quirky and girly with a gangster attitude added into the mix. Aptly titled 'The Drug & The Dream,' there is a hallucinatory quality to the simple studio-shot lookbook that does seem induced by either sleepiness or opiates.
Although the fashion brand is known for its youthful designs, past lookbooks have often portrayed the clothing in an older, more sophisticated light. The Dimepiece Spring 2012 catalog, on the other hand, embraces its roots as well as its demographic. Fun, cute and creative, the pieces are inspired by the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s. There is everything from mesh to pleather short-shorts and patched denim vests in an array of neon yellow, orange and green colors.
