Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano by Ed Hardy

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Celebrity Design

The Christian Audigier style has grown so pervasive with the Ashton Kutcher set that it's long since leapt off of t-shirts and is attaching itself to everything else. French wine is one example, but the fashion designer behind such labels as Ed Hardy and Von Dutch has been eagerly making his mark, one way or another, on automobiles. First there was the Ed Hardy edition Smart car, then came the Chrisitian Audigier edition Lamborghini Murcielago, followed by the Ducati Monster we brought you recently and a custom Mercedes CL63 AMG too. And now another addition to the Audigier automotive design portfolio has emerged in the form of a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. Making Lapo Elkann's ride seem reserved by comparisson, this unique Ferrari is decked out in more tattoo art than a biker rally, and goes to show that if you have the money, Audigier will be glad to "improve" your car for you.

Will Christian Audigier Move Into Michael Jackson's Rental?

Christian Audigier, the permatan designer behind the flamboyant Ed Hardy style has made a quite a show of his sadness over Michael Jackson's passing. The Los Angeles Ed Hardy store features a billboard and large posters paying tribute to the star and showing Audigier together. Jackson appeared at Audigier's 50th birthday celebration in 2008 and the pair were spotted as recently as last February. Audigier has also said that he was working on merchandising with the King of Pop and that the two were planning on collaborating on a clothing line.

But the strangest rumor comes from TMZ. Their sources say that Audigier will be leasing the Holmby Hills mansion where Michael Jackson was living from Ed Hardy CEO Hubert Guez, who owns the estate. Jackson was renting the seven-bedroom home for $100,000 a month while he prepared for his London shows. Audigier plans to do business from the home and will move his company in to the estate by the end of the year.

Audigier was in London last night for the launch of his new Champagne, the latest addition to his line of wines. Decanter reports that cases of the Champagne wine were stolen from London's MoVida nightclub jours before they were to set to be poured and so still wines were served instead.
