Christian Audigier, designer for the label Ed Hardy has passed away at the age of 57.
In April this year, it was said he had been battling cancer.
The French entrepreneur began working in the fashion industry at the age of 14 and moved to New York in his 20s and his net worth is estimated at $250 million.
Christian Audigier showed endless support to Michael Jackson even during the hard time.
All our condolences to his family and friends.
Michael Jackson was in the process of designing a clothing collection with the french fashion guru Christian Audigier.
Christian said: “I was working on merchandising with him and launching a new line of clothes, which was actually Michael’s dream. It was based on various types of merchandising on different products, also accessories. What he wanted from me was the t-shirts and the hoodies and the caps.”
During his time with the designer, Michael has said: “I’d like to say… I’d like to say, it’s wonderful to be here for Christian, his family and all you beautiful people. And to celebrate his 50th Birthday. God Bless you man. And um… in my opinion… in my opinion, not only you are a wonderful artist, you are a wonderful human being. And the King of Fashion!”
When Christian Audigier was asked about Michael Jackson after his death, Audigier said “I miss him! God bless him!”
