"It's common known fact that sex sells, but at what cost? DimePiece's Spring/Summer 2010 collection, Too Much Too Young, ventures into the sensationalized, fast-paced and drug-ridden culture that society stresses to our youth. At some point we stopped expecting young people to be productive, intelligent members of society and began to think of them as gullible, indulgent consumers.
We scrutinized the view of today's youth with imagery of probable stimulants, tainted self-worth and political commentary. We're taught to know "facts" but critical analysis is lost to effort to simply look like you understand. With this in mind, we tell the story of a girl who sits in the Capital's lawn with beer cans and our symbol of 'freedom' as her cushion. Throughout her journey she finds herself falling through space and time, apptempting to hold on to her breathe... the only thing that she finds real & constant. She awakes to a disillusioned state, in a modernized jungle of drugs and sex. How much do we actually know about ourselves, and our place in America? In this story, details in the images are blurred to symbolize the lied and inaccuracies we're told and what we've failed to question. What is too much? What is too fast?
With uncensored graphics, provocative cuts and silhouettes, DimePiece adds another season installment to what we see, what we think and who we are." -DimePiece. The Paradime. 2010.
