It is a well known fact that Marc Ecko, creator and main designer at Ecko Clothing, is a devotee of the four wheeled forms of transportation. But while Mr. Ecko is a well known car lover to most people, Nissan has decided to take things a step further. They have actually asked Mr. Ecko to work with them in designing their future cars. While it is a well known fact that Nissan brand cars are well appreciated by urban individuals, such an oddly appropriate pairing has taken some critics aback. After all, what can a clothing designer and a car company create when they walk into a room intent on collaborating with one another? No one knows for certain, but there are some interesting possibilities.

For one thing, Mr. Ecko is well known to be a fan of large, very well protected automobiles. As a celebrity and a wealthy man, he does have to watch out for his personal security, after all. However, some people might consider his custom military style Gurkha to be something of a gaudy tribute to overdone masculinity, and a throwback to the era in which “bigger is better” was the primary motivating force behind automobile design. Not to mention the fact that it is well enough armored that it can withstand roadside bombings, if such a thing should become necessary.

We all just need to wait with baited breath as the world’s most intriguing collaboration of the early 21st century begins to churn beneath the surface at the Nissan design center. At some point in the not so distant future, we will all get a chance to behold what these two creative masterminds will inevitably produce after they have put their heads together and come up with something incredible. With a combination like this, it would be pretty hard for the two of them not to create the next new paradigm in automobile design.
