The Story Of Ed Hardy Apparel

What do Madonna, Britney Spears, Snoop Dogg and Sylvester Stallone all have in common? No, it's not the newest romantic scandal in Hollywood - In recent years one line of clothing has been by worn by all these celebrities and many more. It's not Gucci, Louis Vuitton or Burberry, it's Ed Hardy clothing, the hottest new brand by French designer Christian Audigier.

Ed Hardy clothing takes its name from the man who inspired the line, Don Ed Hardy. Hardy is considered one of the best tattoo artists in the world and in tattoo circles he is called "the godfather of modern tattoo". His Japanese meets American style is highly original and highly sought after around the globe.

Christian Audigier saw a fantastic marketing opportunity in Hardy's tattoos. He approached Hardy in 2004 with a clothing line idea based on his artistic style. Hardy, knowing that Audigier had already designed for the likes of Urban Outfitters, Diesel and Von Dutch, knew that his work would be in good hands, and so granted the licence.

Ed Hardy clothing quickly became a sensation across the world, but nobody took to the new range more than Hollywood's celebrity elite. Madonna wears Ed Hardy caps and t-shirts almost daily, and Britney Spears was recently filmed raiding the designer's massive California warehouse.

Many argue that Audigier's unique marketing style is the reason for all this success. If you consider how often celebrities are photographer, the amount of celebrity networking that Audigier participates in can lead to some lucrative opportunities. Rather than spending thousands of dollars securing celebs for marketing campaigns, he simply gives his newfound friends free merchandise. Audigier's site even has a photo gallery full of pictures of famous clients wearing his newest designs.

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.
