Whatever Happened To Ed Hardy And Who Is Christian Audigier Anywhere
I'll never forget beginning the box I received from KBC late final year. Totally unexpected, it involved the first Ed Hardy helmet I'd ever looked,
Thomas Sabo Red Cross and Snake Pendant, with a bitchin' flaming-tiger graphic ashore every side. It wasn't until I spun it approximately to the front namely I got indignant. "By Christian Audigier," it peruse in great letters beneath the Ed Hardy VI. What the fcuk?! (Cue cryptic devise house reference.) Why would a biker want some French shape designer's appoint scrawled cross his forehead? How do you mention "douche" in French anyhow? Oh await, that is a French word...
Ironically, not long thereafter the Ed Hardy folks paid a visit to our offices to show us their current line of motorcycle accessories--helmets,
Thomas Sabo Charm Cord Black Leather-Like Cord, jackets, mittens, boots, billet parts, graphics, tie-downs, the works--all embossed with the work of famed California tattoo artist Don Ed Hardy. They then bussed us cross-town to their headquarters,
Thomas Sabo Charm Club-white cultured pearls, where we had a meet-and-greet with Christian Audigier himself.

Be that as it may, it corners out the guy is a bike guy. "I grew up in France, so of way I rode motorcycles as transportation," Audigier reveals. And immediately,
