Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Cloth covered boards (hardcover) with dust jacket, unpaged, 24 cm. Very good. First, extremely scarce, Dutch edition. Described by The New York Times as, "a treasure of fashion insiders," Take Ivy was originally published in Japan in 1965, setting off an explosion of American-influenced "Ivy Style" fashion among students in the trendy Ginza shopping district of Tokyo. The product of four sartorial style enthusiasts, Take Ivy is a collection of candid photographs shot on the campuses of America's elite, Ivy League universities. The series focuses on men and their clothes, perfectly encapsulating the unique academic fashion of the era. Whether lounging in the quad, studying in the library, riding bikes, in class, or at the boathouse, the subjects of Take Ivy are impeccably and distinctively dressed in the finest American-made garments of the time.

True first edition (1965) of this important work, including the very rare original obi (bellyband), which was only present with the first edition. Additionally, this copy was signed in Japanese by the photographer, Teruyoshi Hayashida (1930 - 2013), and the three authors of the text, Shosuke Ishizu, Toshiyuki Kurosu, and Hajime Hasegawa. Condition inside is good, the cover has a nick or two but is good overall, obi has some wear but no major issues. Quite an incredible copy; for a collector seeking perhaps the definitive copy of this work. Please be in touch with questions or for additional images. Signed by Author(s).
