    I went to school with a guy that created the PNB Nation(Post No Bills) urban clothing label and he sold his label but was still involved in the brand.

    He was friends with the creator of 555-SOUL and is totally the opposite of this Mark tool. I'm sure he's still counting the cash. #marcecko

    @Hamilton Nolan: Well, after the label was somewhat diluted from it's graffiti ties it became a label for hip-hop celebs like Eminem making it somewhat above the mall brands.

    @Cheap Shot: and 555 made rather wearable threads that didn't have to serve as billboards for the brand mark. now that empires often rest on fug t-shirts alone (cough, hardy), and financing is nil, we'll see fewer of these bigger efforts.

    astute sum-up as always, hamilton! very gatsby.

    I like some things about Ecko: in particular, details no one would see, like elegant embroidery inside of shirt collars. (It makes my gayness happy to know it's there.)

    But, yeah. Hubris sucks. #marcecko

    There's still a store in Menlo Park Mall. Granted those who wander in are mostly looking for puke-spatter Ed Hardy shirts. It is New Jersey, you know. #marcecko

    @Spirit Fingers: Ha! Threadjack: I have a hard time understanding the Ed Hardy thing. Is it because it's spectacularly ugly, like some anti-fashion statement? At first I thought his clothes were for rock stars who have to be garish onstage to draw attention, or that it was derived from his time as a tattooist, but now I'm just confused.

    @restless: It's a social experiment, which apparently as a species we've failed. "Sell the equivalent of baby crap printed on cotton, and tell everyone it's trendy and imperative that it be owned, worn, and commented on by others about how much more baby crap is on their shirt versus yours, which has just minimal baby crap. So what does that mean? Time for a baby crap, cat vomit, trucker hat! So you can look like a menagerie of weak-minded asshole from head to waist! Consumerism, your friend in helping you look like shit!" #marcecko

    @hamburgerhotdog: Let's just be happy he signs all his shirts, Ed Hardy For the Truly Ridiculous in sparkles and splattered douche-juice, so it lessons the confusion. "Look at that unbelievably fugnatious shirt. Is it an Ed Hardy? Yup. Got it. Let's get in my I-roc Z and play tough-guy tattoos." #marcecko

    @Conchie Birdie: He loves it because he's going through a balding mid-life crisis and believes this Ed Hardy comedy will make him more attractive to dumbbells who would normally assess his beer bloat and double earrings and laugh in the bar ladies room about the "Old dude in the dud shirt who wanted to go back to their dorm and hang." #marcecko

    @ChillbearLatrigue: You find the bubble chair in a museum. It's designed by a guy named Aarnio.



    The guy blew it, spending money like he did, but he wasn't trying to copy the Frick and he wasn't competing with Tiffany. Whatever you think of the clothes or the mansion or the support for graffiti artists or the lifestyle, it all reinforced the brand he was trying to create.
