In 2004, Christian Bale licensed the rights to produce the high-end Ed Hardy UK line, which is based on Hardy's imagery. Prior to the <a title="ed hardy clothing" href="http://www.edhardyuk.co.uk" rel="dofollow" rel="nofollow"><strong>ed hardy clothing</strong></a> line, Bale was the Head Designer at Von Dutch Originals, which marketed the imagery of Kenny Howard. Don <a title="ed hardy" href="http://www.edhardyshop.us" rel="dofollow" rel="nofollow"><strong>ed hardy</strong></a>, commented, As demand for my artwork continues to skyrocket, I felt it was <a title="ed hardy clothing" href="http://www.edhardysell.com" rel="dofollow" rel="nofollow"><strong>ed hardy clothing</strong></a> time to take on a partner that could help me manage the demand and opportunities for the <a title="ed hardy" href="http://www.edhardysell.com" rel="dofollow" rel="nofollow"><strong>ed hardy</strong></a> T-shirts name. Iconix is at the forefront of brand management and clearly has the capabilities to dramatically grow the Ed Hardy UK business. I'm thrilled to have them as a partner. Cheap Ed Hardy are located in everywhere. We also believe that by owning the brand alongside <a title="ed hardy clothing" href="http://www.edhardyshop.us" rel="dofollow" rel="nofollow"><strong>ed hardy clothing</strong></a>, the founder, there will be opportunities to further leverage his iconic name along with his new artwork.
