The King of Pop and the King of Fashion

August 23rd, 2009 | By Safiyyah

The rumors about Michael Jackson and Christian Audigier collaborating together have been confirmed. You may be familiar with Christian Audigier as the designer behind the Ed Hardy brand. You can also find some items from the Christian Audigier jewelry line. Ed Hardy jewelry, along with his clothes and shoes, are quite popular. Well, apparently, the two were working on a few projects together, including a clothing line. I would have liked to see what crazy combination they could have come up with. What took Mike so long anyway? You’d think he would’ve been one of the first people to begin a line of clothes. Hopefully the two were close to the completion of the design, so that Audigier can still release a limited edition of the brand. Supposedly, Audigier will bring it out after all and it will be sold at a boutique called Kitson in Hollywood, California. Can you imagine the prices?

The two were also supposed to come out with other merchandise designs. There are other rumors that Christian Audigier will be leasing the Holmby Hills Mansion where Michael Jackson was living. Hubert Guez, CEO of Ed Hardy, is the owner of the property and will be renting it out to him for $100,000 a month (roughly $1.2 million a year…wow). Michael Jackson and Audigier seemed to be quite close; they were seen together at Mike’s 50th birthday bash and were seen together in February. Christian has shown a great deal of sadness over the King of Pop’s death.
