Originally from Gap France, Christian Audigier, the sexy 51-year old, french fashion designer, made his name designing for names like Lee, Liberto, Naf Naf and cemented it hard with Von Dutch. In 2004 he licensed the rights to produce the Ed Hardy line, thus creating these gorgeous, showpiece handbags - each full of color, zest, and style. They're basically a party within themselves! Don't let the intricate (tatoo) designs intimidate you into thinking there are any limits here but the sky. You can either let these beautiful handbags be the centerpiece of your look by dressing down in order to rightfully spotlight them, or feel free to get creative by mixing patterns for something completely original. Stay within the purse's wide-range color frame and go floral ... or plaid ... or polka-dot - heck, go all of them. You're the one that can pull it off.
Oh, PS: Christian Audigier has just released his new line of fine wines as well (in case you need a little help getting your nerve up ;-)
