- From the most avant-garde jazz musicians, visual artists and poets to architects, philosophers and writers, 'Black Ivy: A Revolt in Style' charts a period in American history when Black men across the country adopted the clothing of a privileged elite and made it their own. It shows how a generation of men took the classic Ivy Look and made it cool, edgy and unpredictable in ways that continue to influence today's modern menswear.
Here you will see some famous, infamous and not so famous figures in Black culture such as Amiri Baraka, Charles White, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Sidney Poitier, and how they reinvented Ivy and Prep fashion-the dominant looks of the time. The real stars of the book-the Oxford cloth button-down shirt, the hand-stitched loafer, the soft shoulder three-button jacket and the perennial repp tie-are all here. What 'Black Ivy' explores is how these clothes are reframed and redefined by a stylish group of men from outside the mainstream, challenging the status quo, struggling for racial equality and civil rights.
Boasting the work of some of America's finest photographers and image-makers, this must-have tome is a celebration of how, regardless of the odds, great style always wins.

Not many Blues musicans in the book. 🤔
Soooo…you mean to tell me, based on this flip-through, no Black women played a significant role in this change? 🙄 Tired and bored…dig deeper.
Did you read the Bio of the video?
This book describes how Ivy League fashion, which was the predominant male fashion standard of the time period, was adopted and transformed by black men in the civil rights era. The reason that women are not included in this book is because Ivy League fashion was a form of fashion solely for men. This book does not say that black women didn't make an impact in the civil rights era, only that black men adopted and transformed Ivy League fashion. I hope this clears things up for you.
Seems weird that Billy Holiday & Sarah Vaughan photos aren't part of this book.
@@mememeister1265Yet women during the 90s & 2000s were very much a part of the mainstream Preppy aesthetic trend.
