by Blake Morgan

With all of the television buzz and celebrity gossip that surrounds us, not to mention our fast-paced lifestyles, we are sometimes left with little time to focus on fashion. Maybe that’s why when a brand comes along that demands our attention, we can’t help but jump on the bandwagon. Ed Hardy’s unmistakable style and passion will draw you in whether you are seeking it out or not. Whatever the reason, Ed Hardy is a brand that the world just can’t seem to get enough of.

All Ed Hardy pieces are based on the creations of legendary tattoo artist, Don Ed Hardy, who spent the early part of his career tattooing out of his San Francisco studio. Drawing inspiration from his life experiences, Ed Hardy’s designs meld American, Japanese, Cholo, tattoo, surf and hotrod iconography. “The godfather of modern tattoo,” Ed Hardy is known for his sophistication, depth and sense of experimentation.

In 2002, the Ed Hardy brand came into the public eye when Don Ed Hardy was approached by Ku USA, Inc. The company was interested in producing a clothing line that would feature Hardy’s artwork. Hardy Life immediately took off, and in only two years became a major fashion spotlight.

Then, in 2004, Ed Hardy teamed up with Christian Audigier, a French designer who transformed the previously unknown Von Dutch into a worldwide fashion icon. Since then, Ed Hardy Clothing and Accessories have skyrocketed, becoming one of the hottest new brands to hit the celebrity fashion scene.

Some of the many fans of Ed Hardy include celebs such as Madonna, Paris Hilton, Shaquille O’Neal, Busta Rhymes, Britney Spears, Alicia Keys, Denise Richards, Pharrell, Sylvester Stallone, and Shakira.

What makes the Ed Hardy T-Shirt different from all the other t-shirts that are floating around the hipster scene today? How about incredibly attention grabbing designs that include skulls, tigers, bulldogs or snake designs. Many of the shirts and hats feature some serious bling with even some colorful crystals and rhinestones interwoven throughout? The line incorporates bold color and daring imagery, while remaining true to Hardy’s signature tattoo designs.

Ed Hardy Clothing is like no other. Stay tuned for more exciting releases from Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier who are sure to continue demanding your attention with this incredibly unique brand.
