Marc Ecko, founder of *ecko unltd.
Marc Ecko (born: Marc Milecofsky[1]) is a fashion designer and entrepreneur, born in New Jersey in 1972. He started selling t-shirts in the mid 1980s, and founded his clothing brand ecko in 1993.
Over the years, Ecko has also dedicated himself to a number of socially conscious initiatives, including significant work with underprivileged youth [9], and a dedicated role in reversing the plight of the world's rhino population [10]. In 2005, the San Diego Zoo named a baby Indian rhino after the designer in honor of his work with the International Rhino Foundation [11], and in June 2006 he hosted the second annual "Save the Rhinos" benefit concert in New York's Central Park [12]. In October 2006, Marc Ecko purchased two white rhinos being auctioned by a private zoo going out of business in the Catskills, saving them the likely fate of being purchased by Texas canned hunt operators (canned hunts are still legal in that State) and being shot by paying visitors.
as far as development goes...sold over 200 works.
