Ivy-Style was founded October 1, 2008 by Christian Chensvold, a New York-based writer whose work has appeared in L’Uomo Vogue, Robb Report, The LA Times Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, RalphLauren.com, Rugby.com, The Men’s Book, NYTimes.com, AskMen.com, Esquire.com, and many other publications. He is also the founder of Dandyism.net and FineArtsLA.com, and a contributing editor at The Rake. Chensvold attended Cal State Fullerton on a fencing scholarship, where he was conference champion while studying English.

Contributing writer Zachary DeLuca is based in Cambridge. He has recently returned to his native soil after studies abroad in Scotland, where he received his Masters Degree in English Literature from the University of Edinburgh. He also holds a BA in English from Boston University. His interest in mid-century menswear arose after a chance encounter with a vintage gabardine suit, which he promptly wore to pieces and then vowed to find as many more as possible. An avid collector of clothing, he can be found combing the racks of J.Press and the local thrift store with equal relish. When off-duty, he enjoys a general excess of corduroy, single-malt scotch and pipe smoke.

Contributing writer Taliesin prefers to write under a nom de plume due to his position in the Federal Government. A Southerner, Taliesin grew up wearing Duck Head khakis and Sperry Topsiders without socks, but always admired his military officer father’s Harris Tweed sportcoats and knit ties. Taliesin acquired a taste for 3/2 sack suits while in graduate school at Cornell and Harvard. Based in Washington, he enjoys visiting New England and returning home to the South whenever possible, and finds the two regions surprisingly similar, despite their remarkably different accents.

Sponsors of Ivy-Style’s Battle of the Wits giveaways have included J. Crew, LL Bean, J. Press, Bills Khakis and Sperry Top-Sider.
