The Illustrated Book of Ivy
Details
In Japan, the fashion style known as “preppy” is called Ivy Style. This new volume by Kazuo Hozumi is the long-awaited follow-up to his original Ivy Style classic—arriving 34 years after the first book. Illustrated in full color, it showcases both traditional and contemporary Ivy looks, from everyday outfits to formal wear and even men’s kimono. A compact guide filled with timeless styling ideas and fresh inspiration.
Kazuo Hozumi (born 1930) was a leading Japanese illustrator known for his influential men’s fashion drawings and style commentary. His works, including the Ivy Boy and Ivy Girl illustrated encyclopedias, remain iconic references in Japanese fashion culture.
I purchased this item in a used bookstore in Tokyo, but it appears to be brand new.
