Background
Eiko Ishioka was born on July 12, 1938 in Tokyo, Japan and attended the Tokyo National
University of Fine Arts and Music, studying in the Design Department of the Faculty of Fine
Arts. She graduated in 1961, and started her career designing advertising campaigns for the
Japanese cosmetics giant Shiseido. In 1970, Ishioka founded her own design firm and soon

Books), magazine articles, record album covers, and product packaging to her repertoire, as
well as serving as stage director of several Issey Miyake fashion shows. Her firm also

Parco throughout the 1970s.
