“No room for squares.” ‘The Ivy Look A to Z: The Essential Guide for Modernist Cats,’ is a pocket guide to Ivy style, out now from Reel Art Press
In this playful yet authoritative pocket-sized paperback, British-born Ivy Look authority (and illustrator) Graham Marsh guides readers from Accessories to Zippo lighters in his ongoing quest to explain and celebrate the sartorial impact of this singular American style.
Democratic, stylish and comfortable, the Ivy look has been embraced by presidents, film stars, businessmen and hipsters alike. With its understated yet carefully curated components, it embodies an approachable correctness and laid-back confidence.
This visual lexicon showcases all the Ivy essentials and how to wear them—including D for Desert Boots, L for Loafers, M for Madras, O for Oxford Shirts and T for Trench Coats. 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. With illustrations rendered in the style of a comic book, ‘The Ivy Look A to Z’ offers a playful, approachable guide to a versatile, enduring style.
