The Associated Press has reported that Don Ed Hardy has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Christian Audigier over the continued use of his name and artwork to endorse a line of products when ed Hardy had terminated the contract between them. According to the blog on edhardyde.com, there's a pretty extensive list of contract violations made by Christian Audigier , including the use of his name to endorse an endless line of unrelated products such as perfumes, water and air fresheners. ed hardy also claims that Christian Audigier has failed to share the profits as contractually agreed upon back in 2005, and even went as far as to underreport the actual earnings from the Ed Hardy line so he wouldn't have to pay full royalties.

So, if you're wearing "Ed Hardy" perfume or drinking "Ed Hardy" bottled water, thinking that you're supporting the man whose name is stamped on the over-priced item, you might actually just be perpetuating another money hungry conglomerate willing to take advantage of the "little guy" for its own selfish means. I hope Hardy gets everything he's asking for and more.

Designer Christian Audigier, famous for his "Ed Hardy" brand and Los Angeles based celebrity dentist Eric Fugier are preparing to dominate the dental care industry. According to a press release, Christian Audigier states "We want to create a merchandising line that includes dental products," emphasizing that "Your smile should be as glamorous as your outfit, that's why Eric Fugier and I are offering a line of high-fashion toothbrushes, dental floss, mouthwash and other dental products."

Will this innovative designer trend catch on, especially during the current economic meltdown? Dr. Fugier has no doubt his clientele will welcome the product, stating "My clientele will know when they see the Ed Hardy logo that they are getting the finest dental products available."
