Marc Ecko began his artistic journey as a graffiti artist in the New York area while still in college. Feeling limited by the medium, Ecko soon began to design handmade T-shirts. Soon after they became available, emerging cultural icons such as Spike Lee and Chuck D. began sporting Ecko's designs. Attention to Ecko Unlimited became more widespread in 1993, when the initial line of six popular T-shirt designs appeared on Good Morning America. The company soon expanded into the hip-hop, skate/extreme sport and designer fashion markets and also began producing footwear, leather goods, gloves, outerwear, underwear, bags and a women's collection. Ecko continues to explore his horizons, having recently developed a cosmetics line, a magazine (Complex), and collections for children.
