Eiko by Eiko by Eiko Ishioka6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() It was Ishioka’s life work to push up against tradition. Ishioka would go on to win the 1993 Academy Award for Best Costume Design (along with multiple other awards) for her incredible costume designs for Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 film adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. She won awards for her work on Mishima (1985) and Madame Butterfly (1988). Once in her own practice, Eiko experimented more and more with surrealism as she moved into designing sets and costumes for film and theater. In 1983, Ishioka left Parco and opened her own design studio. Ishioka later worked as a creative director for the department store Parco, producing iconic posters and television ads that broke with tradition and showed no products. There she revolutionized the poster with her bold use of diverse models and progressive feminist messages that defied tradition. She graduated from the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1960 and immediately started working for the largest cosmetic company in Japan, Shiseido. Growing up, her life always fused western and Japanese culture. ![]() Eiko Ishioka was a graphic, costume, and set designer. ![]()
