EIKO ISHIOKA is a revolutionary artist whose internationally acclaimed work for stage, screen, advertising, and print media has made her one of the premiere visual artists of the 20th century. Best known as the Academy Award winner for costume design for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Eiko’s provocative and shockingly beautiful vision can be seen on August 18th in The Cell, starring Jennifer Lopez.

Eiko’s long list of credits includes the 1985 Cannes Film Festival Award for Artistic Contribution for her production design of Paul Schrader’s film Mishima, a Tony nomination for the stage and costume design of the Broadway play “M. Butterfly,” and a Grammy Award for the art work for Miles Davis’ “Tutu” album, to name just a few. Most recently, Eiko brought her creative sensibilities to bear on the conservative opera world with her costume design for Richard Wagner’s “Ring Cycle,” at the Netherlands National Opera.
