Fashion: Black Ivy: How Civil Rights Were Redefined Through The Culture Of American Prep

“Style is about the freedom to be oneself, to authentically express oneself and, in doing so, reject limitations imposed by others,” writes Mr Jason Jules in his book Black Ivy: A Revolt In Style. Produced during a recent sojourn in Paraguay, alongside co-author Mr Graham Marsh, it is a beautifully crafted study of the period in 1950s to 1960s America when young black men adopted the uniform of the college-educated elite and used it to challenge perceptions – and prejudices – of African-Americans’ place in society.
