Recently, I've been growing an unhealthy obsession toward Ed Hardy. I don't know what it is. I just love the things his line represents. (Even though that's not his real name, I'll still refer to him as Ed Hardy.) I remember a few years ago I had to drive all the way to SoHo to pick up some of his things because no one carried his stuff. Now, it's everywhere--Macy's, Bloomingdales, etc. I'm not going to lie, it kind of irks me because now I see A LOT of people wearing Ed Hardy and thinking they're "cool" because it's become so mainstream...half the people don't even know he's been around for a VERY, very long time, and that he was the original designer for another favorite brand of me (or used to be), Von Dutch.
Anyway, I've been getting A LOT of his things. I recently aquired a wall-sizzed mirror by Ed Hardy, autographed, with cute rhimestones around the edges. It was purchased at an auction in SoHo. I LOVE it. I have many of his T-shirts, over 10 of his hats (two of them are limited edition), many pairs of his sneakers, and a lot of cute accessories. For me, Ed Hardy isn't even a fashion choice; he represents art for me. Every piece of his line tells a story, reflects a special expression, and represents something to me. (But I'm not going to lie, I don't like his cologne.)
I mean I admire him so much that I decided to waste time and WRITE about my obsession. I guess every year I have a new theme.
I like things that aren't too known, but then get angry when they become extremely mainstream. I kind of feel for Ed Hardy the way I do about Louis Vuitton; they're both just priceless. Louis Vuitton, on the other hand, is just simply beautiful. It represents elegence at its best and is very classy. I usually hate things with monograms because they end up looking tacky, but Louis Vuitton is just so nonchalently luxurious and breathtaking.
Anyway, that's my bit about Ed Hardy and my fashion choices for the next few months. (I guess I must be REALLY bored tonight.)
