Take Ivy

Aesthetics

Take Ivy, originally published in Japan in 1965, set off an explosion of American Ivy style fashion amongst the students of the Ginza shopping district in Tokyo. Take Ivy has been the Ivy League Bible for the Japanese baby boomers, who were very much into the whole Ivy League look, having been a very rare find in the West, garnering auction prices as high as $2000. Take Ivy was authored by four Japanese sartorial style enthusiasts and is a collection of candid photographs shot on the campuses of America’s elite Ivy League universities.
