Human bones on the catwalk. Models in dagger-emblazoned silk dresses strutting while talking on cell phones. Bauhaus blaring overhead.Tara Subkoff's Imitation of Christ brought some gothic glitz to L.A. Fashion Week on Monday, with Ed Hardy's tattoo-based casual wear adding to the cool-teen party.

Imitation of Christ crashed the fashion world in 2000 by showing its collection of retooled vintage clothes at a New York City funeral parlor. The celebrity-hip line went on to present eclectic denim and jersey collections, all couched within conceptual, political productions (one show featured half-naked models vacuuming, and another, a backdrop of Iraq war photos). Guests at Subkoff's spring 2007 show were treated to buckets of Budweiser...Associated Press
