CANNES, May 11, 2009 / FW/ — We know him as the designer for the famous Ed Hardy line, and on his 51st birthday, we are finally seeing Christian Audigier as a party animal! On his 51st birthday, Christian Audigier is holding an exclusive, invitation only party during the Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2009 at the VIP Room, Palm Beach Casino on the Croisette in Cannes, France.

Festivities start at midnight. The celebration will take place at the city’s hottest nightclub and includes special celebrity performances from Lenny Kravitz and 50 Cent, with a special appearance by Dave Stewart. Celebrity DJ Ruckus is slated to spin the turn tables.

Last year’s celebration in Los Angeles included celebrity guests and appearances by Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Macy Gray, Snoop Dogg, Fergie, Johnny Hallyday, Pamela Anderson, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kim Kardashian, and Reggie Bush, to name a few. This year’s party is even bigger as Christian celebrates his birthday and return to his homeland of France.

“It is exhilarating to celebrate my birthday back home during the most exciting time in Cannes, the film festival,” Christian Audigier said. “This is going to be the best party in Cannes, and I can’t wait to celebrate and party all night with all of my family and friends!”
