Japanese Ivy in the 40s and 50s
I have a 'Riviera' half-sleeve shadow plaid, that looks as if it must be from the 50s. It's a beautiful shirt. I hadn't realised that Van started up in 1948. Does anyone have any detailed knowledge of how and why the Japanese got started on Ivy-style clothing after 1945? I really don't want to hear anything about the war - this is about A Look.

Someone on Ebay is asking $139 for Japanese-made shadow.

How very tasteless of you. And after I'd sent those clear warning signals to The Beatnik. I expect now you've started the ball rolling, Big Tony will be reminding us of beheadings and water tortures.

The authors of Take Ivy maybe offer a few pointers?

Here's an article on Japan as an exclave of the American Dream, and of "manifactured" dreams:
