Michael Jackson’s favorite designer, Christian Audigier has just released his newest collections this October. And I believe, me and Michael have something in common. I also love the eccentric French man who is widely considered one of the most rising designer in fashion industry. In fact, American Super Star Magazine called him ‘perhaps the greatest marketing genius in the world today’. Wow!

The native of Avignon, France – CHRISTIAN AUDIGIER is no stranger to fashion world. He was the primary force behind the rise of Von Dutch and making the Von Dutch hat a style trend. Later he found his own line ED HARDY – based on the work of an American tattoo artist, Don Ed Hardy and his own namesake ‘Christian Audigier’. He has a daughter named Crystal, and has made a brand with her called ‘Crystal Rock’. Christian Audigier is also behind the SMET – Born on the Street, in collaboration with his long-time friend, Johnny Halliday who is widely considered a French version of Elvis Presley.

Also known simply as “Le Vif” (the fast one), Christian Audigier has launched his latest clothing line ‘VIF SPEED SHOP 58’ in November 20th, 2008 in which he receive a customize Hummer from Ryan Friedlinghaus, the owner of West Coast Customs, a car remodeling company which was featured in Pimp My Ride Season 1 to 4.
