Ed Hardy everything from jewelry, skateboards, chocolates, wine, water, vodka, and even air freshene
Five! Four! Three! Two! One!
What took so long??
There is now word coming from Hollyweird that there will be a Michael Jackson clothing collection.
Christian Audigier - the man behind a gazillion bedazzled Ed Hardy shirts - has now decided to keep rocking and rolling with plans he had with the late King of Pop for a clothing line.
One assumes that the line he was rumored to be starting with pop tart Britney Spears will have to wait.
This issue is mentioned in my post published on Jul 1st in my blog. If you're interested in it , don't miss the post and take a look.
Widely considered one of the most meteoric rises in fashion history, Christian Audigier has parlayed his design experience and business acumen to become a true fashion icon and entrepreneurial sensation in less than four years. Through his collection of international companies, he has launched nine popular brands with over sixty licenses. He oversees an international conglomerate of his designer brands, including Ed Hardy Christian Audigier , SMET , Crystal Rock , most recently C-Bar-A , Savoir Faire , Evel Knievel , Rock Fabulous , and Paco Chicano ; this includes US and international wholesale distribution, as well as US and international retail stores. Christian made his mark throughout the fashion industry after a fortuitous start at MacKeen Jeans. He has contributed to successful brands such as Diesel, Fiorucci, Bisou Bisou, Levi, NafNaf and American Outfitters. Christian's style is so distinctive that he is known as the King of Jeans.
More recently, Christian threw his ingenuity behind Von Dutch , where he catapulted the brand from obscurity into a household name. He single handedly created several trends, including the now famous trucker hat trend which could be seen on everyone from college students to high-profile celebrities. Christian was responsible for putting Von Dutch on the map, thus paving the way for his next great enterprise.
In 2004, Christian left Von Dutch and proceeded to create and launch the wildly popular Ed Hardy brand. He was granted the exclusive rights to the designs of Don Ed Hardy, who is commonly referred to as the godfather of Tattoo. With Ed Hardy , Christian not only created a brand, but a lifestyle of street couture. Christian has built a fervent following for his Ed Hardy and the eponymous Christian Audigier brands. Celebrities such as Madonna, Britney Spears, and Kanye West, among others are frequently seen wearing his unique designs. His celebrity following includes more than 5,000 celebrities, athletes and musicians of all genres. In 2008, Christian announced his latest venture, When I Move You Move , the Trade Show, exclusively showcasing the entire family of Audigier brands. Included are the more than 60 licensees who produce everything from jewelry, skateboards, chocolates, wine, water, vodka, and even air fresheners.
Christian also branched out into the world of nightclubs, with the star-studded opening of Christian Audigier The Nightclub at Treasure Island, in Las Vegas. His rock roll, glam-inspired style is celebrated throughout his namesake club, which includes works of art designed by Christian. It has quickly become the hottest spot on the Las Vegas Strip.
Christian Audigier, born in the city of Avignon, in the South of France, embodies and represents the pinnacle of success in achieving the American dream. He currently resides with his family in Los Angeles, California. His impressive list of accomplishments, shrewd business sense, and charismatic personality make him the global success that he is today.

About Photo: Audigier was working with Jackson on stage costumes for the singer's much-ballyhooed London concerts. The two were close; MJ even showed up at Audigier's 50th birthday splash last year (as did Snoop Dog, Fergie and Pamela Anderson).
---------------------
- Wait....it gets better (or worse depending on how you feel about this sort of thing): Audigier also announced - with nary a bit of shame - that he plans on buying the Bel Air mansion that Jackson was renting when he died and turning it into a museum for the Gloved One.
