Bajo el nombre de Ivy League se agrupan las ocho universidades más antiguas y prestigiosas de EE UU. Campus ajardinados e idílicos donde han estudiado presidentes, jueces y senadores, la élite del país. En 1965, el fotógrafo japonés Teruyoshi Hayashida retrató con su cámara su peculiar estética, un modo de sentir y de vestir que ha terminado por convertirse en todo un referente de la moda masculina.

Q
ué pasaría si descubrieras que firmas de ropa tan populares como Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie&Fitch, Brooks Brothers, Gant o Franklin&Marshall deben mucho de su inspiración a un fotógrafo japonés apellidado Hayashida? Probablemente nada (salvo un lógico estado inicial de perplejidad, claro). Suena a locura, pero gran parte de este gusto actual por el look universitario (a caballo entre Grease y American pie) comenzó con un intrépido viaje de ida y vuelta entre la Costa Este de Norteamérica y el lejano Japón. ¿Nos hemos vuelto locos? Mejor empecemos por el principio... A mediados del siglo XVII, los EE UU de América no eran más que otra colonia de ultramar del imperio británico. La Corona deseaba imponer sus principios éticos y morales sobre el Nuevo Mundo; así que decidió exportar cultura y conocimiento fundando las primeras siete universidades en territorio norteamericano. Durante los siguientes 250 años, dichas instituciones crecieron y se desarrollaron compartiendo dos elementos comunes. Primero, consolidándose como referencia nacional en materia de educación, formación, valores morales y éxitos deportivos. El segundo, algo más banal, destacando por sus fachadas de piedra decoradas por frondosos mantos de hiedra (ivy, en inglés). Una adorable planta trepadora que ha dado nombre, desde 1954, a la asociación más elitista y envidiada de EE UU: la Ivy League, la Liga de la Hiedra. Compuesta por siete universidades anteriores a la propia Revolución Americana (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Dartmouth y Brown) y una que se sumó casi un siglo después (Cornell), la Ivy League estructura y articula la vida académica e intelectual de la flor y nata de la juventud americana. Gran parte de los personajes más relevantes e influyentes de su historia han estudiado, enseñado o formado parte de alguna de las Ivy. Benjamin Franklin (Pennsylvania), Albert Einstein (Princeton), John F. Kennedy (Harvard)... Presidentes, senadores, jueces del Supremo, abogados, financieros; estudiar en alguna de estas ocho universidades supone éxito profesional, prestigio y buena cuna. ¿Pero qué demonios tiene que ver Japón con todo esto? Un poco de paciencia, por favor. Además de ofrecer una educación esmerada, re-
pleta de futuro, las universidades de la Ivy League siempre han destacado por su estricto código de vestimenta y conducta. Sus estudiantes, desde tiempos remotos, han adecuado su armario a las exigencias de un día a día (clases, prácticas deportivas, fiestas, actos sociales) perfectamente estructurado. Una forma de ser y de vestir que tiene su propio nombre: el estilo Ivy. Y así llegamos al momento seminal de esta historia. Año 1965, Teruyoshi Hayashida, un fotógrafo japonés absolutamente desconocido decide coger un avión, poner rumbo a Norteamérica y recorrer con su cámara las ocho universidades de la Ivy League. ¿Su objetivo? Plasmar, con la máxima

The football season runs from September to November. The games are held in a league system and thus all Ivy League universities play one another during the season. In recent years, Dartmouth and Princeton have been dominant. Since the Ivy League once used to be synonymous with powerful football teams, it is a disappointing fact
that the football prowess of today’s Ivy League universities is inferior to that of other collegiate football powerhouses. The game between Harvard and Yale may be compared to the Waseda-Keio baseball game held in the Tokyo Big Six University Baseball League in Japan. The Harvard-Yale game is held alternately in Cambridge or New Haven. With its long tradition, the Harvard-Yale game usually attracts around 100,000 spectators.
Probably because there are only five players on a team, different from football, Ivy League basketball teams are more competitive in games with non-Ivy universities. Ivy League basketball players often achieve outstanding results and many have been selected as All Americans or chosen to be members of
the U.S. Olympic team. During theposible, season, an of two games naturalidad laaverage vida cotidiana, las cosare scheduled per week at each university.

tes y mágicas, que hoy parecen sacadas de un catálogo de moda. El trabajo de Hayashida acabará tomando forma de libro, Take Ivy, probablemente la radiografía más profunda realizada hasta la fecha de la élite universitaria americana. Inesperadamente (o no), la obra se convierte en una especie de biblia estética y, posteriormente, en un volumen de culto rebuscado y copiado por cientos de diseñadores de moda de todo el mundo. ¿Pero qué se esconde tras esta extraña fascinan-
ción? ¿Qué valores intenta proyectar la Ivy League? El primero y más básico es, sin duda, el patriotismo (nada tan americano). Cada mañana, las ocho universidades Ivy ven alzar en lo alto de un mástil –estratégicamente colocado– la bandera de las barras y las estrellas. La Universidad no es sino la prolongación de un concepto de orgullo nacional que acompaña a los estudiantes a lo largo de toda su vida. Una forma de entender la realidad que, en su futuro, trasladarán a las empresas para las que acaben trabajando. No obstante, antes de dar ese salto definitivo hasta su dura vida laboral, tendrán que superar una serie de pruebas –no menos exigentes– que el campus les irá poniendo. Es primordial conseguir la aceptación de los demás. Para ello, se han de seguir a rajatabla dos principios básicos: “juega duro” y “estudia duro”. Una doble acepción para un mismo mensaje (con una explicación muy sencilla). Todo chico Ivy ha de demostrar que es sociable, educado, correcto, divertido e incluso –si la ocasión lo requiere– irreverente, sabiendo siempre elegir el momento adecuado para serlo (señal ésta de su inteligencia). Y es precisamente el intelecto el otro aspecto al que la élite de Norteamérica presta mayor atención. Demostrar que se es un buen estudiante, con éxitos académicos notables, siempre será un punto a favor. Es aquí, también, donde la competitividad empieza a hacer acto de presecia. Pero para competitividad, la propia del ámbito deportivo. Quien no practique un deporte o no reúna condiciones físicas destacadas, será marginado. La universidad es el principal granero del que

se nutre un país como EE UU, históricamente plagado de grandes atletas. No conviene olvidar que el propio término Ivy League tuvo en origen connotaciones deportivas, asociándose sobre todo al fútbol americano. La rivalidad entre sus ocho miembros, sin embargo, abarca otras disciplinas, como baloncesto, lacrosse o remo (incluyendo la famosa regata entre Harvard y Yale, que emula históricamente a la mítica rivalidad entre las inglesas Oxford y Cambridge). Y por fin, su forma de vestir, que tampoco escapa a su propio sello. Los estudiantes pasan las jornadas dentro de un mismo recinto (la mayoría de los días se limitan a ir a clase y a estudiar en su habitación), por lo que se impone un look cómodo. Eso sí, aderezado con unas pinceladas de la elegancia propia de los niños bien. De este modo, paso a paso, va naciendo un improvisado estilo que progresivamente se irá implantando más allá de los muros de sus facultades. Shorts con mocasines, polos, jerseys de pico, pantalones chinos, chaquetas de béisbol, sudaderas deportivas, americanas de cuadros... (prendas, eso sí, adornadas con el nombre de la universidad, el equipo de fútbol o las siglas de la fraternidad impresas en el pecho). Ha nacido el estilo Ivy League. Como ejemplo ilustrativo de esta obsesión por la vestimenta, rescatamos alguno de los veinte artículos “del buen vestir”, perfectamente redactados, que todo estudiante de Yale debe seguir al dedillo. “Tener siempre un traje de color oscuro preparado para posibles cenas o eventos de gala”; otro: “Elegir chaquetas de sport o blazers en color camel con corbata oscura para reuniones informales con amigos o citas con señoritas”. Tomamos nota. Mucho de estos estudiantes de la Ivy League acabaron trabajando en 110 110 grandes empresas de Nueva York y, más concretamente, en Madison Avenue, la avenida más influyente de la ciudad.

nica, Ishizu crece en el Japón inmediatamente posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, aún ocupado por las tropas americanas. Siendo apenas un adolescente, conoce al teniente O’Brien, antiguo alumno de Princeton y seguidor impenitente del estilo Ivy. Así, poco a poco, Kensuke comienza a interesarse por el gusto occidental y su vestuario. En apenas unos años, acaba consagrándose como el gran gurú del nuevo estilo nipón. Funda Men’s club, la primera revista masculina del país y, poco después, en 1951, inicia su andadura en el mundo de la moda fundando la firma Van Jacket, todo un mito dentro del amplio universo fashionista y referente histórico del estilo Ivy League. Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Japón había experimentado un baby boom sin precedentes, por lo que en la década de los sesenta el país contaba con una enorme masa de población juvenil. La astucia de Ishizu percibió rápidamente un importante nicho por ocupar; así que incorporó el estilo universitario americano a la cultura de su tierra. Una liberación elegante y meticulosa en medio de la más absoluta uniformidad tradicional. La idea era transmitir el sabor de la joven élite estadounidense a un público diferente. El éxito fue rotundo. Así, Van Jacket y Men’s club –que redefinió su target hacia un público más joven– marcaron las tendencias de la sociedad japonesa durante décadas. Y fue precisamente el editor de esta revista, Fujingahosha, instado por el propio Ishiku, quien encargó el proyecto Take Ivy a Teruyosi Hayashida, autor de las fotos de este reportaje. El círculo se cierra. La iconografía asociada al imaginario popular de la cultura yankee se hizo grande desde 110111 111 111 Asia. Extraño, pero cierto. Desde entonces, decenas de marcas de éxito basan gran parte de sus líneas masculinas en el puro estilo Ivy. Una moda que comenzó en los campus universitarios, que un fotógrafo japonés llevó a las revistas de Pero regresesemos a Japón y a la biografía de un personaje extraorestilo de vida y que hoy invade los escapatodas las fotografías de este reportaje pertenecen al libro dinario coétano de Hayashida: Kensuke Ishizu.
