Limited Edition Chrisian Audigier Monster

[Betty Rage]

Who is this person?

I bought A Christian Audigier/Ed Hardy shirt at Costco having no idea who they are, I just like the motorcycle riding skeleton on the front. 

Then I saw KBC sells Ed Hardy helmets (one of which I am going to buy soon)

THEN I see people talking about them here. (and on the deleted thread)

WHO ARE THEY?!

that lambo was ok until I saw the seats...


don ed hardy is a cool dude and tattoo god, who decided to make some shirts and stuff w/his flash designs.

the older stuff was just labelled 'ed hardy gear' or something to that effect, which is cool enough.

CA's name started creepin' in on the gear, and kinda took over, like cancer.

i threw up in my mouth a little the first time I saw a shirt tagged "ed hardy by christian audigier" like the artwork was suddenly his, or it takes some kind of genius to make a dang t shirt

Oh I see now.

I'll make sure not to wear the shirt if I ever meet you.

no worries, neenja 

I have a couple of the shirts, but that's about it.

He had done a lecture in HI a while ago that I went to... he was basically talking about his life, and tattoo, his influences and such. it was just about the time that first clothing line was coming out

I must say I liked both the bike and the Lambo.  I know I may be in the minority on this one but both were cool.  The price tag just to add his name and design is a bit over the top but other than that he gets a      from me.

Is it wrong of me to say I kindof liked the Lambo? 

I don't really like the skull or the seats but the rest of it is pretty cool, IMO.

 ''Limited Edition Christina Aguilera Monster' is how I mis-read the post title.... totally let down now. 

On the upside, I hadn't actually seen the initial threads on this bike - so thanks to Dave for the derby. 

As for the bike itself,... I for one think a naked bike should be kept as simple/functional as possible... tattoo the rider, by all means, but leave the bike alone!

My sentiments exactly. But somebody pointed out to each his own, which is also true. What I find amazing is that this guy paints something on these objects and then sells them for a surreal amount of money. This is certainly "talent", just not the kind I appreciate...

nah... if the seats were plain, I'd hit it

forgive me I didn't ever see the 'old' thread.

But Ed Hardy sued/is sueing CA for using his name/brand without permission.
The original article is gone, but I found this http://www.needled.com/blog/?p=2974

In any case, it's a Monster done custom and that's what we all love about Monsters (modding them).

C'mon, please.

He's a french designer... an article that was linked in that other thd called him... what was it? a fashion terrorist for creating the von dutch thing.

he was set to release a line of ed hardy wines.


his superpower is apparently shameless marketing.
