[edit] Imitation Of Christ

Subkoff and Matthew Damhave were co-founders of the clothing line Imitation Of Christ, which remade old clothes into new works of fashion. They named their fashion line after the 15th century book of the same name by Thomas à Kempis. IOC's clothes have been worn by actresses such as Chloë Sevigny and Scarlett Johansson. The fashion world has often had diffculty interpreting the shows Subkoff and IOC have put on. In reference to the 2003 show, Laird Borelli writing for Vogue magazine's Style.com observed, "Like all IOC events, the spring show, billed as a 'retrospective,' was more about performance art and cultural theory than clothes. On the ground floor, topless models in very abbreviated shorts pranced around while pushing shiny vacuum cleaners (very David LaChapelle meets Vanessa Beecroft)."[1] Artnet magazine also mused whether this show was an "Imitation of Beecroft."[2]
