Poor Imitation

The runway was littered with bones. No, not skeletal models but skulls, femurs and other detached segments that the angsty models maneuvered through. A bone strewn runway isn't really my style but at the LA show for Imitation of Christ, the attitude outshone the pieces.

Cross covered tees have already been done over and over and over again by chain department stores so it was nothing new. Plus the promotional bit with models carrying mobile phones was a bit tacky for a "hipster" show.



I did like this dress though. The layered tee underneath a cocktail dress was the right touch creating a sexy asymmetrically dipped neckline. I love the drooping right strap of the tee and the thin layer of black creeping out from under the dress.

Unlike the rest of the show this dress was subtly edgy instead of rubbing its skinny jean and celeb front row hipster resume in your face. This whole bone obsession needs to be slowly phased out: see Alexander McQueen, skull scarf.
