Take Ivy


There has been a recent push in popularity of Americana esque brands and asethics in men's fashion. It's probably the reason I've been wearing my wingtips and oxford button ups lately a lot more than my Jordans. If you haven't noticed just visit any credible men's fashion blog or pick up an issue of GQ Stlye. The magazine did an entire special edition issue dedicated to Americana inspired fashion. I've been saying GQ has been really lacking lately; however, I have to say this issue was amazing. (eventhough it is pretty late.) Along with the recent Americana buzz, there was and still is a lot of buzz around the 1960's photography book "Take Ivy", mostly thanks to a blog entry on ACL back in 2008. The book is a product of Japanese photographer, T.Hyashida, taking pictures of Ivy Leaguers at notheastern universities. The photography exhibits the preppy style that is still so much alive today. The book is simply amazing.
