The Ivy Look A to Z

First emerging in the Ivy League schools of America's East Coast during the 1950s and '60s, the Ivy Look has had a lasting sartorial impact on fashion and culture. Democratic, stylish, and comfortable, it has been embraced by presidents, film stars, businessmen, and hipsters alike. With its understated yet carefully curated components, the Ivy Look embodies an approachable correctness and laid-back confidence. Digging deep into the archives, this visual lexicon showcases all the Ivy essentials and how to wear them - including D for Desert Boots, L for Loafers, O for Oxford Shirts, M for Madras and T for Trenchcoats.

Each entry is accompanied by original illustrations and text by Graham Marsh alongside period album covers, magazine advertisements, movie posters and photographs of Ivy icons such as Miles Davis, Steve McQueen and Paul Newman.
