@PeterHoare How tacky is that coffin gonna be?
— Kittin Scarentino (@KittinExploits) July 10, 2015His designs may have been a joke to some, but they were still favored by many, especially those in Hollywood, from Ashton Kutcher to Madonna, in the 2000s. In response to the few that have mocked Audigier, one user put it best when he wrote: "Some of you don't even know where to draw the line."
I saw a tweet mocking the death Christian Audigier in relation to his clothing line. Some of you don't even know where to draw the line.
