The Nissan division of Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) and lifestyle fashion designer Marc Ecko announced a strategic partnership blending fashion and automotive design at the Magic men's apparel and accessories trade show in Las Vegas.

To celebrate the partnership, Mr Ecko will modify two of Nissan's most popular SUVs - the Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Armada - giving each a new design inspired by his ecko unltd and Cut & Sew clothing lines. The two one-of-a-kind vehicles will be displayed at events across the country following a special unveiling in October in New York.

The Nissan Pathfinder customised by Marc Ecko includes redesigned driver and passenger seats, with Eames-inspired moulded wood backs and seamless black leather. The Cut & Sew Nissan Armada offers a cream and tan calfskin interior with heavy contrast stitching on the steering wheel, doors panels and dashboard.
