Reddit reviews Take Ivy

My several month old list: Fashion Podcasts and Interviews

-----------------

I've been collecting a few podcasts to listen to in my spare time and came across an enormous amount when searching both on /r/malefashionadvice, /r/malefashion and /r/femalefashionadvice.

I thought it'd be nice to share a few I've found which were interesting and which other people can enjoy.

I know my fashion interests can definitely skew to the boring, so if you have any more suggestions please comment below!

Podcasts & Youtube:

I'm in a similar situation. I ended up purchasing a few fashion design textbooks.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1609010019/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1576875504/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

actually only the center one is a textbook, the other two are construction techniques and basically an Ivy inspo. I own all of these and enjoy them all in different ways.

Take Ivy. A look at the preppy image of the 1960s.

If you can find it, the book Take Ivy (http://www.amazon.com/Take-Ivy-Shosuke-Ishizu/dp/1576875504) has lots photos of amazing 1960s Ivy League style.

My style definitely could not be described as "preppy" but I have a copy of Take Ivy on my coffee table, because it's just cool.

Not sure if you'd still consider this streetwear, but Take Ivy is a very interesting Japanese photo book of 1960's Ivy League style.

Take Ivy is classic.

Apparently it was featured in Take Ivy, which was published in 1965 in Japan as a fashion guide for "Ivy Style"

Also, Michael Fassbender in X-men: First Class is really sharply dressed.

if you say so just because of the t-shirt you might be mistaken.
EDIT: You0re definitely right about the continent though: http://www.amazon.com/Take-Ivy-Shosuke-Ishizu/dp/1576875504

It looks incredibly similar to Cambridge, UK, nut it may well be Princeton.
