Ed Hardy His Amazing Pop Culture Clothing Line

The one time famed tattoo artist, Don Ed Hardy, is today a clothes artist branding a whole new world of pop culture art clothing retailed through his shops located in his San Francisco studio. Hardy commercializes his pop culture art through various popular clothing brands. The public appreciation of his art occasioned his appointment as a member of the San Francisco Cultural Arts Commission and also caused him to be a recipient of an honorary doctorate degree from the San Francisco Art Institute.

Ed Hardy’s clothing line of pop culture art is a major thematic expression of coolness and informality as a remedy to a world gone mad with materialism, consumerism, temporariness, immorality and mental insanity. Hardy’s clothing art also clearly impresses an obligatory sense of the simplicity of life which was exactly what our ancestors believed in and lived with in times past.

Hardy’s pop culture branded products is manufactured by Ku USA, Inc. and retailed in the USA as well as overseas; these include: Waikiki, Dubai, Kuwait, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Tuscon, New York, Houston, Tokyo, Singapore, Noosa, Melbourne, Sydney and Riga. The company plans to add New Delhi, Mumbai and Hamburg on its retail circuit. In 2004, Christian Audigier purchased the license to manufacture and market Hardy’s clothing brand of Von Dutch. However, Hardy’s pop culture brands of clothing have been banned by several night clubs in Vancouver because they associate this line of clothing with gang rivalries.

In 1982, Hardy and his wife diversified into the publication business while simultaneously pursuing their literary talents by authoring and editing over twenty five books on alternative art. Additionally, Hardy organized various exhibitions for galleries, museums, non-profit organizations and universities. Hardy and his artistic works have also featured in the film and print media.
