Ed Hardy (cut, color, red, fashion)

[momof2dfw]

The designs remind me of tattoo's. Seriously. They look like some tattoo's you see on people. The other day I was at this great little boutique and this couple came in wearing Ed Hardy tee's and ended up buying even more. They had the same kind of designs as tattoo's on their bodies. I'm guessing other people that buy this stuff like the designs but may not want them permanently on their bodies.

People kept coming into my store asking about Ed Hardy clothes. I've never heard of it until a few months ago. We recently got some drinking glasses and shot glasses in at work. The designs are kind of cool, but they'd be kind of tacky on clothes, IMO.

I like Ed Hardy shirts! Sure, they may be trendy and gone in a few years, but in the meantime I love the way they look and will continue to wear them.

I'm guessing you don't know who Ed Hardy is? :) Or Sailor Jerry?

It's all much too trendy...while I think flash can be successfully applied to something other than flesh, this trend is over-played. All too Hot Topic for me. In the beginning it was novel. Now...not. Speaking as a person with tattoos.

Agreed (as another person with old school style tattoos), Kind of like the people who walked around sporting Von Dutch stuff not realizing that the REAL Von Dutch (Kenny Howard) was a lowbrow pinstripe artist who was an eccentric, racist, alcoholic wife beater.

Some of Ed Hardys clothes are cute though. I like their tracksuits, and a few of their tshirts (the more simpler ones). I agree it's expensive, but to me, it's no expensive than some of the other designers I buy. You get what you pay for, in my opinion

I always liked those old timey looking tatoos - on sailors that is.

I dont think it really matters that Von Dutch was a jerk - as long as you like his designs.

Heck - Volkswagon is a Nazi company (or used to be) and people still buy from them

Well, I hate to tell everyone but you will find Ed Hardy mainly in big cities such as:

Miami, NYC, LA, Philly, Chicago, Boston, SF, Dallas, etc

It started in the fashion capitals (big cities) and worked it's way down to the smaller metros.

For the person that said it cost 15 dollars at TJ MAXX. That is a lie. TJ Maxx sells them but they are around 30-40.

For everyone that does not like it and bashed it on this forum your solution is simple....... dont buy it

I am sure if your wardrobe was examined by myself that everything in it would be donated to charity

Not necessarily... I saw 2 Ed Hardy tees at Ross recently that were $16.99 each....

So did I, at TJ Maxx. Eventually when they don't sell they too get marked down.
