Could Christian Audigier's reign over rhinestone encrusted douchewear finally be slowing down?
There's a rumor that the designer's eponymous store in NYC's NoLita neighborhood has closed.
As of last week, the windows at the Lafayette Street location were boarded up and the doors were locked.
However, the Ed Hardy store in SoHo said the store was "under construction" and would be reopening in a month to a month and a half to undergo some mayjah renovations.
Wonder what kind of douchey renovations AudiGaudy is making???
Is the cast of The Jersey Shore getting paid to wear Ed Hardy outfits?
JWoww showed up to STYLE360’s bebe-Kardashians fashion show yesterday.
And in typical "guidette" style, she was trying to rock a bright blue Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier dress with some giant squid print.
Seksi.
According to insiders, JWoww somehow managed to steal the show when she arrived. It reportedly took about 15 minutes to just get her seated front row with the paparazzi trying to snap pics.
And during the show, JWoww was spotted taking notes on her clipboard and snapping a few pics on her phone.
She's said to be working on her own clothing line, but she better not try to steal the Kardashian's designs.
Turns out Christian Audigier is getting hauled to court by Marc Jacobs over trademark infringement and trade dress over purse designs.
Marc claims Audigier is selling tote bags that "bear trade dress that unlawfully copies or imitates Plantiffs' unique, distinctive and non-functional Marc Jacobs Pretty Nylon Tote Trade Dress and/or that unlawfully bear marks confusingly similar to the Marc Jacobs Scrambled Trademark".
Whew, what a mouthful!
Jacobs currently has a pending application for the Pretty Nylon tote for the Marc Jacobs scrambled trademark that's on the inside lining.
To add insult to injury, Marc is also suing for unfair competition.
Looks like Marc is taking the rhinestone-loving Audigier to the cleaners!
Funny or Die has perfectly captured what everyone thinks of douchebags (and Jon Gosselin) who wear Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier in less than 5 minutes.

The resort group Club Med may be getting a new investor - and he goes by the name of Christian Audigier.
Yes, the same Christian Audigier who has littered the celebrity scene with his tattoo inspired threads. Audi-gaudy is prepared to invest up to $14.7 million into Club Med.
Dayum!
Christian hopes to join forces with head honcho of Club Med Henri Giscard d'Estaing and Bernard Tapie, who bought just over 1% of the company in June and isn't particularly fond of their strategy.
Says Audigier "I would like to be part of story like that … I am French, I was a (Club Med) client, so were my children and my wife."
Maybe Tapie will like Audigier's strategy of rhinestones, tattoos and Jon Gosselin.
Hey! Club Douche Med could be a great place for Jon to host parties to provide for his eight kids!
