Marc Ecko makes Drugs. Preview Spring 2010 Rx Collection.
Jul 16, 2009 at 2:00 PM ;)
I started working on a small collection, initially baked out of Prato Italy called "Rx". Ever since I dropped out of pharmacy school in 1993-- I've dreamt of becoming a Pharmacist. Blew that career.

I feel like the collection has really found it's way. I've been working on it for almost 9 months. Distribution will be mostly web and international. The focus is on hyper technical styling, but in natural fabrics. Imagine if "Arcteryx" did a range for "Mason's" or "Polo". Lot's of blind and taped seams, but on shirting and cargo shorts...in crunchy poplins, and tissue light plaids. The psychadelia motif is all over the product in hidden spots. Pills shaped buttons are a signature. Super fine precise details. Here is a parachute weight poly nylon anorak layered over a hooded taped seam field shirt. The cargo shorts are in a super crisp nylon/cotton twill, with an all over embroidery taking the piss out of the preppy thing.
Also, I am doing a range of 3 t-shirts in this collection---based on my art. The T-shirts, bottled in an actual oversized amber pill bottle will come with a "Golden Prescription"-- my take on "Wonka's Golden Ticket". It is not so much a "limited edition-- as much as it is a "limited chance". You see one T-shirt comes with a code to actual redeem the original oil painting that the T-shirt art was based on!
