History

Founded in 1993 by Marc Ecko, the company began as a small T-shirt line inspired by the designer's background in graffiti. It grew into a global lifestyle brand during the late 1990s and early 2000s, becoming a central fixture in the commercialization of streetwear. The brand is historically significant for integrating street art aesthetics into mass-market fashion and establishing a multi-platform media presence through its associated magazine, Complex.
