Christian Audigier's Ed Hardy line

By the time he was 19 years of age Christian Audgier was celebrated as the "king of jeans" He was designing jeans in a whole new way. He definitely paid his dues working for a number of large well known clothing labels, and obviously learning very much that has was able to later apply to his own label.His popularity grew and the elaborate parties that he threw did not escape wide coverage in the media.

In early 2005, Christian announced to the world on television, that he was leaving Von Dutch to start his own clothing line, to be called Ed Hardy. The Ed Hardy clothing line seems to be inspired by the current popular tattoo culture, by hollywood and stars, and by the biker lifestyle.

Ed Hardy was known as the world's foremost tattoo artist. So Audigier acquired the rights to his artwork to incorporate them into his designs. This created a marriage of tattoo culture and fashion together, possibly for the first time.

The results are undeniable. Ed Hardy became a lot more well known. Obviously both Christian Audigier and Ed Hardy have a love affair with bright colors and tattoos. This is clearly apparrent in almost all the designs.
So now Ed Hardy clothing is sold worldwide. The line is tremendously popular and sales are strong.

The product list seems to almost endless, and has grown to be far more than a clothing line.
There are Ed Hardy cigarette lighters. There is Ed Hardy bar decor. There are Ed Hardy temporary tattoos.
There is Ed Hardy perfume. The list continues to grow and grow.

Of course the Ed Hardy clothing line is very attractive. Quite notable to me is the fact that you don't have to be a fan of tattoos to appreciate the designs, or the clothing. Again the Christian Audigier line is not strictly made of clothes, but extend to watches, shoes and boots, and much more.

Now keep in mind that this is still designer clothing, designer clothing costs more money to purchase than non designer clothing. So Ed hardy clothing will never be included in everyones wardrobe. Yet Audigier's Ed Hardy line is far less costly than the designs of many other designers. So it falls under the category of cheap designer clothing. That is very good news! That means that if you want something from the Ed Hardy label, you can find something that you can afford, if you really want to.
