Christian Audigier (Шаблон:IPA-fr; 21 May 1958 – 9 July 2015) was a French fashion designer known for the Ed Hardy and Von Dutch clothing lines.
Early life
Christian Audigier was born on 21 May 1958 in Avignon, France.[1][2]
Career
Audigier began working in the fashion industry at the age of fifteen. He designed a line of denim that was inspired by his love for rock and roll, specifically The Rolling Stones. His designs became so popular that a top executive from MacKeen Jeans took notice of Audigier's talent, affording him the opportunity to create with the company and travel the world.[3][4] He moved to New York in his early twenties to expand his own brand.[5] He worked with Guess, Levi's, Diesel, Fiorucci, Bisou Bisou and XOXO, Smet, among others.[6]
He then moved to Los Angeles where he would achieve most of his success as a fashion designer. After the death of artist Kenny Howard, also known as Von Dutch, in 1992, Howard's daughters sold the Von Dutch name to Ed Boswell who then began working together with Michael Cassel and Robert Vaughn to create the Von Dutch brand. Later, Tonny Sorensen would be brought in as an investor and would become a 51% owner of the company while Michael Cassel owned 49%. It was Tonny Sorensen who initially brought in Christian Audigier.

Audigier helped popularize the brand, but left on amicable terms in 2007. He went on to popularize the Ed Hardy brand.[7] Audigier's other brands include SMET with French singer Johnny Hallyday.[7][8] Audigier's brands are sold internationally in over 40 countries.[9]Шаблон:Unreliable source?
In 2008, he joined forces with a small cooperative in France, Montpeyroux Estates, to release a line of fine wines. The bottles are wrapped with labels that are designed with the classic Ed Hardy designs and are done by art director and photographer Barry Sutton.[9]Шаблон:Unreliable source?
