Klappentext

A compact primer on seven decades of sartorial prowess: how Simons and his London store brought the American "Ivy Look" across the pond

British designer John Simons (born 1939) has been the definitive voice on Ivy League style in the UK for 70 years, shaping the way that generations of men dress both in London and around the world. He is responsible for naming the "Harrington" jacket and introducing terms such as "button down," "Weejuns" and "workwear" into the modern style lexicon. Blending the finest contemporary items with elusive vintage pieces, his unique approach to curation draws from music, film and art and has had an enduring sartorial influence on menswear worldwide.
John Simons: Since 1955 celebrates 70 years of Simons' style and innovation, exploring the cultural forces that inspired him, showcasing customers in their finest Ivy threads and delving into his deep love of mid-century music, art and design. The volume is a suitably chic tribute to a quiet icon and a testament to timeless style.
