The Story Of Ed Hardy Apparel

What do Snoop Dogg and Sylvester Stallone have in common? Unfortunately it's not a hot new musical collaboration. It's a brand new line from a hot designer. He doesn't work for Dolce and Gabbana, Burberry or Chanel, it's Ed Hardy clothing, a brand new, original line from Christian Audigier.

Ed Hardy clothing was inspired by the man who also gave the line its name, the legendary tattoo artist, Don Ed Hardy. Known as "the godfather of modern tattoo" in many tattoo circles, Hardy's blend of Japanese and American styles is highly sought after around the world.

Christian Audigier, who had previously designed lines for brands such as Urban Outfitters, Diesel and Von Dutch, saw a great opportunity in Hardy's work. He approached Hardy in 2004 with an idea for a clothing line based around his art and tattoo work. Hardy granted Audigier a license to use his work, and Ed Hardy clothing was born.

Although the Ed Hardy range has become a hit across the globe, it has taken hold in Hollywood more than anywhere else. Britney Spears was recently spotted in the designer's Hollywood warehouse picking out gifts, and Madonna has an item of Ed Hardy clothing on almost daily.

Audigier's unique style of networking has undoubtedly a big part of why he is so successful in the business. He even has a "celebrity gallery" section on his official site that has literally dozens of pictures of him with the hottest celebs around. It ends up being very lucrative giving away free merchandise to celebrities, as the amount of exposure that they receive is so significant. It is also far cheaper than paying thousands of dollars to have the same celebs star in an ad campaign.

However, this line isn't only for Hollywood. With tops starting from between $57-$64 it's actually fairly affordable as far as designer ranges go. It is also good to know that when you buy Ed Hardy clothing you're buying an item that will stand the test of time, because when a line has been designed around a style of tattooing that has stayed in vogue for decades, it's hard to imagine it going out of style any time soon.
