Eckō unltd. is a brand of urban lifestyle clothing founded by fashion designer Marc Ecko, that has been popular since the late 1990s, and moved into the mainstream urban culture in the early 2000s.[1] It is most often associated with hip-hop people. The style is based on graffiti art. The creation of Ecko Unltd. evolved from just six t-shirts and a can of spray paint.[2] Marc Ecko (Milecofsky) began selling graffiti-style t-shirts in the mid 1980s and then founded his clothing brand, Ecko Unltd. in 1993 with investments from his twins sister, Marci and friend Seth Gerszberg.
