Description

Black Ivy: A Revolt in Style charts a pivotal moment in American history when Black men redefined the Ivy Look, a style once reserved for the privileged elite. This book explores how a group of stylish men from outside the mainstream challenged the status quo, struggled for racial equality and civil rights, and made great style their own. Through the lens of iconic clothing items such as the Oxford cloth button-down shirt, hand-stitched loafer, and repp tie, the book reveals how Black culture subverted the traditional Ivy Look. Featuring the work of America's finest photographers and image-makers, Black Ivy is a celebration of style and its power to transcend boundaries. By examining the intersection of fashion and social change, this book offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history. With its rich visual content and engaging narrative, Black Ivy: A Revolt in Style is a must-have for anyone interested in the intersection of fashion, culture, and social justice.
