New Ed Hardy Collection

Ed Hardy introduced his new 2009 Swimwear Collection during the Mercedes-Benz fashion week and they're gorgeous!
The event took place in Miami, Florida - the perfect city to display sexy bikinis.
I LOVE every single suit I saw on the runway. Hardy should have been designing swimwear years ago. The colors are really fun and his unique designs still stand out on the suits. I want one, now!
Actually, it’s Christian Ginutti, AKA Christian Audigier who is doing that.

Ed Hardy is the brand name that was named after Don Ed Hardy, who happens to be a tattoo artist whose work the Ed Hardy brand is named after.
Christian Audigier is the fashoin designer who owns the brand, and came up with the idea.
Personally, I don’t like the guy. He’s responsible for the Von Dutch clothing line.

Von Dutch was an “outlaw artist” from the days of old, and he was very anti-establishment.
Von Dutch died years before the clothing line named after him came out, and would probably kick Christian’s ass if he were alive today for using his namesake.
I have no idea how Don Ed Hardy got involved, he must have been broke.
Here’s a great quote from Kenny Howard, AKA Von Dutch.
“I make a point of staying right at the edge of poverty. I don’t have a pair of pants without a hole in them, and the only pair of boots I have are on my feet. I don’t mess around with unnecessary stuff, so I don’t need much money. I believe it’s meant to be that way. There’s a ’struggle’ you have to go through, and if you make a lot of money it doesn’t make the ’struggle’ go away. It just makes it more complicated. If you keep poor, the struggle is simple.”
Aw man, I hate Von Dutch. I think it’s so generic and ugly looking. Why would I wanna pay ridiculous amounts of $$ to wear a brand logo that covers almost the entire article of clothing?
haha. At least the designs still look like Ed Hardy tat work.
My mistake! Thanks for the info! The suits are still hott and I still want one though
Those models look awesome in this beachwear. I wonder if anyone looks nearly as good wearing this stuff …
I was fortunate to see the upcoming 2010 Ed Hardy swimwear collection and the designs are really hot. Awesome prints, signature designs, bold statements.
