Ed Hardy dresses are part of a relatively new clothing line that is designed with a rock edge in mind. The designs for Ed Hardy come from the tattoo artwork of Don Ed Hardy, a well known tattoo artist who turned his tattoo designs into actual, frame-able artwork. One of the more popular pieces of the Ed Hardy line are the Ed Hardy dresses.

Don Ed Hardy, who received a degree in printmaking, started out as a tattoo artist. After he started, he realized that his tattoo designs could easily double as art. In 2002, Don Ed Hardy was approached by a company who wanted to turn his tattoo art designs into a clothing brand. With that approach, Ed Hardy began his foray into the clothing world.

The designs that make up Ed Hardy’s fashion line and interesting and different, but are the exact designs that have made Don Ed Hardy famous and original. His Japanese influenced art designs create an interesting edge for the clothing line. Because his designs are edgy and carry a rock vibe, the fashion line carries the same hard edge style. The designs and prints found on Ed Hardy dresses are different than what many expect to see on an every day type of dress.

The colors of the tattoo art of Ed Hardy’s designs seem to match the general colors of the tattoo art. The colors range from dull to bright; pastel colors will mix and match with bright, vibrant colors to make interesting patterns. The patterns are random; some of the Ed Hardy Dresses will feature large prints, while other Ed Hardy dresses feature multiple, smaller prints. Ed Hardy dresses have a style that is loud and in your face. This loud style is found on all aspects of Ed Hardy clothing; many dresses on the market today are not as loud and “rock” as Ed Hardy dresses.

While Ed Hardy dresses are loud and edgy, they still have their place in nearly any wardrobe. While the dresses may not be appropriate for any type of black tie affair, they are great for those who want a simple day dress, or a dress for going out to the bars and the clubs. These dresses are for those who want to stick out in a crowd, as their edgy designs are easily noticeable.

At first, people were skeptical about Don Ed Hardy’s tattoo art design crossing over into the fashion world. The Ed Hardy brand has made a splash, especially with its bold and edgy dresses. Many people had a hard time imagining the bold designs, prints, and patterns on a dress. This boldness is what makes the Ed Hardy dresses unique and interesting, however, as they have created a new niche in the dress market.
