Ed Hardy swimwear to launch

09/06/2008
Christian Audigier is to launch his Ed Hardy swimsuit collection as an extension of his already established clothing line. It will be introduced at Ultra Supper Club in Toronto, Canada, on June 10, when the venue's Tuesday Summer Katwalk Series will launch.

After designing his first denim collection, which was inspired by the rock and roll lifestyle of the Rolling Stones, Mr Audigier was employed up by MacKeen Jeans, and began his career designing for diesel, Fiorucci, Bisou Bisou, Levis, NafNaf and American Outfitters.

In 2004, he created and launched Ed Hardy and was granted exclusive rights to the designs of Don Ed Hardy, 'the Godfather of Tattoo'. The brand is now sold all over the world.

The swimwear collection is also inspired by the tattoos that made Ed Hardy famous; it also includes Ed Hardy Couture which comprises limited edition pieces that are hand embellished with Swarovski crystal.
