When you’re a friend of The Book L.A. as Christian
Audigier is, you’re a friend for life. Though most
of the time, we do focus on bringing the hottest labels and products
into the spotlight every week, once again, we find cause to pay
tribute once again to the creative force who turned Von
Dutch, Don Ed Hardy and, finally, his
own name into household names.
Under Ed Hardy’s banner and signature style, he’s at
it again with a fresh new group of watches, shoes (amply on display
at Primary Action’s suites for the
2006 Emmys and 2007 Golden Globes at Liberace’s old
bachelor pad) and belts.
At the Primary Action Golden Globes suite, celebrities such as Angela
Basset, Lorraine Nicholson
(Miss Golden Globe 2007) and Derek Luke
(Antwone Fisher) were slipping into the snazzy sneakers and bad
girl-chic pointy-toe pumps from Ed Hardy retailing between $70-$100.
However, Christian wants all of those who have followed his career
through the Book LA and his retail shops that there is more to him
than meets the eye, and his appeal goes beyond “skin deep”
(pun very much intended).
The Ed Hardy souliers include sneakers, pumps, ballet flats, espadrilles
and loafers with the now famous tattoo designs that have been snapped
up by the likes of Madonna, Tommy
Lee and the cast of High School
Musical. His self-titled shoes take op-art, pop-art and the
spirit of Ed Hardy to the next level of upscale attitude.
But Audigier’s creativity doesn’t stop with tees and
shoes. You will always have time for a Don Ed Hardy tattoo,
thanks to the new Ed Hardy watch line and cinch up the total look
with a completely rethought line of belts for men and women that
are simply amazing.
Christian Audigier’s collections are available at his flagship
stores on Melrose (near Fairfax) as well as Nordstroms,
Sportie LA, and Cusp to name a
few. Also, if the retail options are not prolific enough, you’ll
