We're sad to report that Imitation of Christ designer, Tara Subkoff (36 y.o.) has been diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. If not operated on, the tumor will be fatal in about two years. Tara, will probably have the operation in August and recovery could take up to a year. Since Tara won't be able to work while she recovers, her friends have banded together to organize an art benefit to help cover the remaining costs of the operation (eleven specialists are involved owing to the delicate nature of the tumor) and care needed afterward. They are looking for donations of artwork to be sold in a silent auction on Wednesday, July 15. The lot will include 200 pieces of Imitation of Christ couture from Tara's personal collection. Alternatively, you can just donate cash; the Cut blog has more details as to where you can donate.
Like the rest of the fashion community our heart goes out to Tara.
