Ever wondered what would happen to Michael Jackson's home after his death in June of 2009? Well according to Contactmusic.com, Christian Audigier, who was renting the house to "The King of Pop", planned to turn the Los Angeles home into his company's headquarters rather than renting it out again. The relocation was supposed to happen this past December.

Ed Hardy Fall 2010 Product Lines

For those keeping up with the Ed Hardy trend, some of the products set to be released for the brand in the fall of 2010 include a line of handbags and baby products. The handbag line includes two of the most anticipated Ed Hardy bags, which are the Filina Satchel and the Tyla Satchel. According to Articlesnatch.com, the Filina Satchel has a western theme accentuated by colorful and unique fringe details. It is also made from canvas with a suade trim and front zip closure. It will retail for about $305.00. As for the Tyla Satchel, it is very feminine yet edgy, and made from canvas with a leather trim and front zip closure. This particular bag is expected to retail for about $275.00.











As for the anticipated baby line that many of us have been hearing about, it will include baby bibs, pacifiers, and BPA-free bottles. As stated by lilsugar.com, the BPA-free bottles and suckers will be manufactured in Germany using a silicone treatment to meet current safety standards and are expected to hit shelves in October. It is still not clear whether or not the line had something to do with the former co-star of Jon and Kate Plus, Jon Gosselin.

Environmental Concerns/Efforts

For those of you concerned about the environment, I could not find any concerns or efforts related specifically to the Ed Hardy brand; however, Christian Audigier does have another line within his company that is eco-friendly. The name of the other brand is Crystal Rock, which is named after his daughter Crystal Rock Audigier. As stated by SoJones.com, Crystal Rock specializes in creating women's dresses that are 100% eco-friendly, which make the clothing ideal for people who would like to go green and still maintain a high sense of class and style while doing so.


Crystal Rock also offers shoes, accessories, bottoms, etc.http://www.sojones.com/urban-clothing/crystal-rock/
