Books, Style

Where the preppy look began

take_ivy_peek-12

Take Ivy is a book of photographs, shot by Teruyoshi Hayashida in 1965, depicting authentic Ivy League style. It’s long out of print and copies have been going for around $1,000 on ebay, such is the demand for this record of authentic preppy style. This autumn Powerhouse Books, a New York publisher, is re-printing the book at a price that represents a saving of £620 over the Buy It Now price currently quoted on ebay. And we can’t wait. www.powerhousebooks.com
