Fashion designer and entrepreneur Marc Ecko will trade in his can of spray paint, throw on the Xbox Live headset and catch the action on Xbox Live, as part of the latest Xbox Live Game with Fame session. Xbox Live Gold members interested in going heads up with Ecko in Activision’s World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions for Xbox 360 should be on the lookout for the Xbox Live gamertag EckoGWF on Monday, November 6 from 9:00 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. PST/6:00 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. EST.

“I am indebted to the people who are loyal to my brands, wear my clothes and support my dreams,” said Ecko. “The ‘Game with Fame’ program gives me an opportunity to meet and interact with the people that let me do what I love to do.”

Ecko’s journey towards success began in a makeshift studio in his parent’s garage. Armed only with an airbrush and his custom graphic designs, Marc quickly built a loyal fan base which allowed him in 1994 (at the young age of 20) to found ecko unltd. Since then, the company has grown to include 12 separate ecko unltd. apparel and accessories lines, the contemporary Marc Ecko “Cut & Sew” collection, G-Unit Clothing Company, Zoo York, and Avirex Sportswear. Last year alone, Marc’s full-scale global fashion and lifestyle company reported billings of over $1.2 billion. In recognition of his achievements, Marc has topped lists such as Details Magazine’s “Most Powerful Men Under 38,” Stuff Magazine’s “Style Icon’s,” Crain’s New York Business “40 Under 40” list and New York Magazine’s list of the City’s “Influential’s.”

The Xbox Live Game with Fame program gives Xbox Live subscribers the unique opportunity to meet, chat and play against some of today’s hottest stars.  Past Game with Fame celebrity players include Jack Black, Jenny McCarthy, INXS, New York Yankees’ Jason Giambi, Ryan Cabrera and Ludacris.
