Marc Ecko

Marc's artistic journey began in the mid-80s in a makeshift design studio and showroom located in the garage of his parent's home. A member of the then emerging hip-hop scene, Marc engendered interest with the generation's new cultural icons including Spike Lee and Chuck D, who wore his t-shirts with pride. These events precipitated his founding of *ecko unltd. in 1993. Today the company has grown to include 12 separate *ecko unltd. apparel and accessories lines, the contemporary Marc Ecko Cut & Sew collection, G-Unit Clothing Company, Zoo York, Avirex Sportswear, Complex magazine, and a recently launched video game in conjunction with Atari.
