"The product of four collegiate style enthusiasts, Take Ivy is a collection of candid photographs shot on the campuses of America's elite, Ivy League universities. The series focuses on men and their clothes, perfectly encapsulating the unique student fashion of the era."
It's finally here! After weeks of looking at its contents in different blogs (yes, I pretty much have seen most of it), I now have my own copy of Take Ivy. First of all, I have to say thank you to my girlfriend, Stef Padilla, for ordering the book online and giving it to me as a present!
Take Ivy was originally published in Japan in 1965. It was released again in Japan in 2006 and was sold out immediately. Thanks to powerHouse Books, this book is made available again for us kids who adore the whole prep look! And the best part is, it's translated in English already!
Though the book's main attraction is the collection of photographs, the book also has sections that describe the typical stuff that Ivy Leaguers do, the clothes that they where, where they buy clothes, etc. In fact, the descriptions are so detailed that when it comes to the essential stuff that Ivy Leaguers should have, it even says how many of it you should own and in what style, color, etc.
These Ivy League kids definitely know their style! Check it out, guys. The book is already available in Fullybooked, although it's a bit more expensive. Cheers!
