A girlfriend of mine was wearing a belt that I fell in love with at a party awhile back. She said it was an Ed Hardy belt so I promptly looked it up on the internet. It was there that I learned about Christian Audier who was born in south France and got into fashion. He has been behind the creative teams for brands such as: Diesel, Kookai, Naf Naf, AE Outfitters, Von Dutch etc. Christian Audigier has taken the tattoo art of Don Ed Hardy and created Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier.

Back to my friend, anyway, she said she got the belt at Winners and picked one up for me! Winners ran out of the yellow belt with the tiger on it that she had but she got me the black geisha koi belt that is pictured above. I am in LOVE with this belt! Not only is the tattoo artistry on it beautiful and vibrant in color but the belt itself is made out of high quality thick leather. Ed Hardy's signature is also stitched onto the end of the belt as a nice detail. The buckle is also interchangeable if you so desire to change it.

Ever since owning this belt I have had several compliments on it and I love it. If you are at a higher end Winners they may have a few (some Winners stores are known to have better stuff that others such as the one in West Van where this was purchased or the one on Bloor St in Toronto). If not, these belts can also be found online but they will be pricier than what you would pay at Winners. Anyway, check it out!
