“Originally published in 1965, “Take Ivy” was virtually unknown until it was discovered by Japanese bloggers. The book has taken on cult status in the U.S. and Japan and is almost impossible to find. During the early 1960’s, Hayashida visited each of the Ivy League colleges and documented the fashion style of the era. He captured the “preppy style” perfectly. Over 4 decades have passed and the “prep” lifestyle images in “Take Ivy” have become the standard for “preppy fashion” in Japan and around the world.”
