With a foreword by men's style icon Nick Wooster, Mark McNairy's F- Ivy and Everything Else presents renowned designer Mark McNairy's views on dressing and behaving well. Here, Ivy League meets street, sartorial rules are made and broken, and iconic style and pop culture images prevail-with the humorous, sometimes snarky, spot-on style observations for which McNairy is known industrywide-making this volume a must-have for traditionalists and hipsters alike. Supported by the strength of a cult following of dedicated, fashion-forward young men around the globe, designer Mark McNairy has risen from an under-the-radar favorite to a driving force in contemporary American style. His collection of menswear and footwear, Mark McNairy New Amsterdam, is defined by a strong sense of sartorial history with an eye fixed on the future, and combines the designer's vast knowledge of American and English tailoring tradition and complete dedication to craftsmanship. With McNairy, irreverence rules. In F- Ivy and Everything Else, his fresh, irreverent take on traditional menswear is in full force. At once a style guide that provides invaluable style tips for today's audience, it is also, like his clothing and accessories, a witty riff of sorts on the 1965 Japanese classic, Take Ivy, a presentation of the Ivy League look coveted highly by fashion insiders that was republished in English in 2010. Filled with a mix of vintage fashion and film images that reference traditional menswear and style icons like Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood, examples of streetwear and McNairy's clothing, advertising and pop culture references, the book is a visual treat from spread to spread, with text that offers solid sartorial advice and humor.
