Tara Lyn Subkoff (born December 10, 1972) is an American actress and fashion designer from Westport, Connecticut. She has acted in over a dozen movies, most recently 2006's "The Notorious Bettie Page".

Subkoff was born in Westport, Connecticut and attended Otis Parsons school for less than a year before dropping out. She appeared in Blondie's 2003 music video for "Good Boys."

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. [http://www.fashionvue.com/directory/imitation-of-christ.htm Imitation of Christ] , FashionVue Magazine, February 2008] Chloë Sevigny was creative director of the line and Scarlett Johansson walked the runway in Subkoff's designs, and she recently collaborated with shoe company Easy Spirit. In reference to the collection's Spring 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)". [ [http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2003RTW/review/IMTATION Imitation of Christ Runway Review] , Laird Borelli, Style.com, September 17, 2002.] Artnet magazine also mused whether this show was an "Imitation of Beecroft."
