Don Ed Hardy

Ed Hardy breaking through

For a while now I have been telling my friends to forget about brands such as Lucky 13, Von Dutch, Vans and Converse. The next big thing is Don Ed Hardy.

And it looks like I've been absolutely right:

• All of a sudden Ed Hardy apparel is being worn by Dutch poker star Noah Boeken and Dutch TV celebrity Ruben Nicolai,
• Don Ed Hardy has updated their available for resellers. The pair of decks I wanted is no longer listed and many others have also been removed: could there be a production shortage?
• When I asked at Britain, which only started to carry their products recently, I found out the store has a hard time getting any new models from their importer. High demand perhaps?

New Don Ed Hardy shoes again

I've abandoned all stars and vans for a while now, instead buying Don Ed Hardy shoes. Well, good news: the Britain chain just started selling them so I couldn't resist and bought me some tonight. Lowrise, skull plus geisha, black, holes no laces. Nice!

Not-so-quick update

• Posted by Rob (#1) on January 25, 2007 02:14 CET

As announced, it's been a while. Hello!

I just got back from London. Work sent me there for a quick business trip lasting two days (originally one) and despite the delayed flight and exhausting security queue at Gatwick airport, I had a good time. The exhibition was mostly useful even though some gaps in our exploration for leads remain.

Highlight of the trip however would be my lunch date with Laura. Rumours exist that if all goes well and beyond work will open a R&D shop in London in a year or two, she's one good reason to relocate there if that happens. I hate to rain down on any parades but on the other hand, despite radio silence, Inge remains a reason not to. There's no chance nor plausibility to get back with her but I still do miss her.

Anyway, the weekend of the 13th I was in Tel Aviv for another business trip and even though most of my trips go to England and Scandinavia I have to concede one thing. There's a big fun factor in drinking coffee at the beach in a t-shirt in January while doing some brainstorming, and then calling it work. Also, nice Ed Hardy store over there so I expanded my wardrobe and shoe collection a bit. Jerusalem was fun as well. It kind of confirmed my suspicion that religion is for the dim-witted, but regardless it was an experience unlike any other.

Having covered the present and past, a small update on the future now. I'll work tomorrow (read: later today) and then will be off to Austria for a week of skiing. There's a chance I'll have to take a day off from my holiday to do some business with a bookmaker in Graz or Zell am See, but it should still be fun to have a classic and traditional week in the mountains with dad.

So yeah.. life's still busy here. I'm glad it is! :-)
