Take Ivy

I suppose I assumed most of the blogosphere has had their hands on a digital version of “Take Ivy” for a while now.

If you havn’t heard of it, it was a book originally published in 1965. T. Hayashida (a photgrapher from Japan) visited the Ivy League universities and documented the fashion style of the era. This book has influenced countless designers and look books. Sadly its pretty hard to find a hard copy of it and if you can its around 2k. There is a digital version though.

If you don’t have it yet, I posted it in one of my tweets.

Here are some of my favorite looks from the Japanese book “Take Ivy” by T. Hayashida (click on the pics for a bigger version)
