History

Mark Eley graduated from Brighton Polytechnic in 1990 with a BA in fashion and weave. Wakako Kishimoto graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1992 with a BA in fashion and print. They first met in 1989 while interning in New York, and founded Eley Kishimoto in 1992, by producing prints for other designers including Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, Jil Sander and Marc Jacobs.[2][3]

In 1996 the partnership created their first womenswear collection. Eley Kishimoto's first on-schedule show at London Fashion Week was in February 2001 when they showed their Autumn/Winter 2001 collection.

The company has also created numerous products to display their print designs, such as wallpaper, furniture and furnishing fabrics, glassware and crockery. The company also operates in areas usually ignored by fashion designers including the automotive industry, architecture, phone/computer technology and packaging, and artist and gallery collaborations.

In 2008, Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto were appointed as creative directors of French-based fashion house Cacharel.[2]

gollark: Well, it has a GUI (which I don't like personally, but meh), a package manager, and many useful libraries and programs.
gollark: What do you mean "better"? I'm not convinced that any OS actually is really *better* than CraftOS for things people actually use them for, except possibly Opus, primarily due to its good bundled programs/libraries.
gollark: Maybe I should add a hint...
gollark: I was *surprised* by how many people somehow *did not get it*.
gollark: The uninstall thing is meant to be mildly complex and prevent programs from automatically uninstalling it by queueing key events.
