Black Ivy: A Revolt in Style

Village Books - Jason Jules & Graham Marsh - Black Ivy: A Revolt in Style

The Book

It’s a story about clothes but it’s also a story about freedom – both individual and collective.

Charts a period in American history when black men adopted the clothing of a privileged elite and made it their own

Looks at how a generation of men took the classic Ivy look style and made it cool, edgy and unpredictable in ways that continue to influence today’s modern menswear.

Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, James Baldwin, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sidney Poitier and more. The Oxford cloth button-down shirt, the hand stitched loafer, the soft shoulder three-button jacket and the perennial repp tie, among others, are all here
