First published in 1965, ‘Take Ivy’ was the sartorial bible of East Coast prepster cool, and is excitingly being rereleased with an English translation by Brooklyn publisher, powerHouse Books. This would be an incredible addition to any library, containing over 140 pages of authentic 1960s Ivy League style. It’s hard to believe these boys are peddling canes by now, as most of the looks feel as fresh, contemporary, and wearable as ever.
Heralded by the New York times as a “treasure to fashion insiders”, and legends of first editions selling for over $1,000 on eBay, expect the same cult of cool to be running to the bookstore, as did thousands of teenagers in Ginza over forty years ago solidating the Ivy League in our fashion dialogue forever.
