A defining visual document of Ivy Style and the origins of modern menswear culture.
Originally published in Japan in 1965, Take Ivy is one of the most influential style books ever created. Through intimate photography and detailed observations, Teruyoshi Hayashida documented student life across the Ivy League campuses of the American East Coast, capturing the clothing, habits, traditions and atmosphere that would later inspire generations of designers, brands and enthusiasts around the world.
More than a fashion book, Take Ivy serves as a cultural archive. From tweed jackets and button-down shirts to campus bookstores, dormitories and everyday rituals, it preserves a moment in time that continues to shape contemporary menswear today.
A timeless reference for anyone interested in Ivy Style, American traditional clothing, Japanese fashion culture and the history of menswear.
