Ed Hardy: Jon Gosselin Was The 'Nail In The Coffin' For Fashion Brand
It's been a while since we heard much about Ed Hardy -- and Jon Gosselin is to blame, says the designer.
"That Jon Gosselin thing was the nail in the coffin,” Hardy told the New York Post this week. "That’s what tanked it. Macy's used to have a huge window display with Ed Hardy, and it filtered down and that’s why Macy’s dropped the brand."
The "Jon Gosselin thing" probably refers to the time Gosselin of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" fame was photographed in 2009 aboard a flashy yacht with Ed Hardy owner Christian Audigier. Gosselin was a diehard Ed Hardy fan, wearing the brand's signature tattoo-print tees all over Hollywood and even chatting up Audigier about a children's clothing line.
(Gosselin also got a massive Hardy-esque dragon tattoo on his back in 2010, but that's neither here nor there.)
But as Gosselin's star faded, so did Ed Hardy's. In 2010, the company collapsed and was forced to close stores, liquidate its assets, pay back creditors and give itself over to administrators at Deloitte. Just one year after being named one of Business Review Weekly's top Fast 100 companies, Ed Hardy was in shambles.
All Gosselin's fault? More like Christian Audigier's. Hardy tells the New York Post, "Christian worships celebrities so much, he will get next to anyone who is famous for anything." That included Gosselin, who had his 15 minutes of fame after his family's TLC reality series.
Unfortunately, Ed Hardy's fame survived approximately the same amount of time as Gosselin's. When's the last time you've seen a kid in an Ed Hardy shirt?

I dunno. There are a lot of fucking idiots around.It doesn't take long for people to realize how stupid it is to spend over 200 dollars on rhinestone studded tees.
I thought he likes to wear wife beaters? OH!
Who the fuck is that?
Bieber
^ Did you read any of my posts? :scratchhead:
No. Not too soon in the slightest.Herndandez style?
Too soon?
It really does make you wonder if these guys get their wares tailored at ALL. ^^
I doubt it. That suit was given to him by the designer and as long as his shoulders fit, nobody else would notice save us dummies. Note: he's on a red carpet with some squeeze next to him and a fat check from the movie. I'd wear that suit if it meant trading places.

No idea who he is but looks like an asshole.
