If the cut of the costume indicates intellect and
talent, then the color indicates temper and heart."

Sadie Frost: Lucy Westenr in Eiko
Ishioka Outfit
Ms. Ishioka won an Oscar for costume design in
1992 for "Bram Stoker's 'Dracula.'" Her outfits
included a heavy wedding dress worn by the
actress Sadie Frost.
Eiko was discovered by Tsuji Masuda who created
Parco Ikebukuro from the ailing Marubutsu
Department Store. When Parco did well and
expanded to a Shibuya location in 1973, Eiko
designed Parco Shibuya's first 15 second
commercial for the grand opening with "a tall, thin
black woman, dressed in a black bikini, dancing
with a very small man in a Santa Claus outfit." She
became deeply involved in Parco's image. Her last
Parco campaign involved Faye Dunaway as "face of
Parco" wearing black, on a black chair against a
black wall, and peeling and eating an egg in one
minute as "a film for Parco."
