Last June, former Imitation of Christ designer Tara Subkoff was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor that Doctors said would prove fatal within two years if not removed. In July, friends rallied around the sometimes Indie actress and girl-about-downtown by throwing her a benefit at Jeffery Deitch’s New York gallery (Deitch has since been named the director of our very own MOCA). And by the end of the summer, Subkoff had the intricate surgery — which required the work of eleven specialists.
I was so excited over the weekend when I spotted Subkoff, whom I interned for three years ago, at an after hours bar on the edge of Echo Park. She looked beautiful and healthy in a vintage black velvet dress and crocheted metallic beret and said that she’s feeling fantastic, too. Apparently L.A. will be her sanctuary for now as she recuperates even further.
So glad to see her up and about. It’s nice to see that 2010 is already a year of stories with happy endings.
