In Marc Ecko's never ending quest to completely exploit the female figure, the notorious designer has teamed up with Playboy to deliver this line of titilating tee shirts to please his audience.
It looks like Hugh Hefner couldn't resist the urge to take his passionate pastime to the street with Marc Ecko's philanthropic ways. Feel free to look through the gallery because the Marc Ecko Playboy Tees are actually kind of groovy, in a retro way.
Implications - It should be no surprise that genuine Jack-Of-All-Trades Marc Ecko has teamed up with Hugh Hefner to pay homage to some of Playboy's most iconic pin-ups. Ecko is also the publisher of Complex Magazine, a publication dedicated to celebrating hip-hop, fashion, streetwear, skateboarding and graffiti -- is there a more appreciative artist for ironic, retro imagery? I can't name one.
This is the definition of a well-suited collaboration.
