If you want an edgy rock ‘n roll look next summer, check out the new Ed Hardy Spring 2009 collection by designer Christian Audigier.
The outrageously funky collection was showcased a few days ago on the main stage at the Mercedes-Benz Spring 2009 Los Angeles Fashion Week.
The new Ed Hardy collection features an explosion of cold bright colors, skulls and tattoo-inspired artwork. And even though the designs are meant to showcase spring fashion, a few leg warmers even made it into the collection.
"The 2009 Ed Hardy collection brings forward a very exciting time in fashion history," explained designer Christian Audigier. "I have taken the best elements of funky flair, outrageous accessories, and flamboyant colors, and created the freshest styles and designs."
