Christian Audigier (born May 21, 1958) is a French fashion designer and entrepreneur. Originally from Gap, France, he has designed for such brands as Lee, Liberto, Kookai, Von Dutch and Naf Naf.
He made his first mark as a fashion jeans designer. One of his most notable achievements was being the primary force behind the rise of Von Dutch, and making the Von Dutch hat a style trend.
His most recent ventures include the Ed Hardy brand based on the work of Don Ed Hardy; Smet with Johnny Hallyday; and his own namesake Christian Audigier.
In 2004, Christian Audigier licensed the rights to produce the Ed Hardy clothing line, which is based on Hardy's imagery. Prior to the Ed Hardy clothing line, Audigier was the Head Designer at Von Dutch Originals, which marketed the imagery of Kenny Howard. Audigier has attempted to replicate the marketing techniques employed by Von Dutch Originals, by marketing directly to celebrity clients and by opening stores in high profile fashion districts. Ed Hardy stores are located in many locations internationally including the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
