The purpose of this study was to explore the classic American style labeled ‘Preppy’ to evaluate and interpret its static and dynamic elements. The heritage and foundational garments that encompass the style can be traced as far back as 1852 in the Cambridge University General Almanack and Register, yet this research begins in 1962 when Esquire magazine presented an editorial, The Basic College Wardrobe. This editorial depicts dressing in a formulaic manner, so men of all backgrounds could achieve the ‘Preppy’ look. Through a content analysis of Esquire’s September issues from 1962 to the present, I began to look for today’s quintessential ‘Preppy’ uniform in advertisements and editorials to see how it evolved and came together to be the timeless look it is today. Examination of the content revealed that ‘preppy’ proves to be a very complex fashion tribe with roots tracing back to Britain, but there appears to be a specific uniform that’s prevailed throughout the lifespan of this particular style. Preppy style stemmed from Ivy Style and was merged with several other fashion tribes: WASPs, Dandies, Athletes, Military, Go-to-Hell Look, and Japanese Ivy Style. Through the convergence of these styles, an established look prevailed: oxford button down shirt, khaki pants (also known as chinos), navy blazer with gold buttons, repp tie, and penny loafers. Understanding the origins of these individual pieces will inform our understanding of the significance of why ‘Preppy’ has remained a relatively static uniform over the years.

As exiled Spanish architects lived in Mexico, they continued to practice and develop their ideas of modernity, eventually creating a new hybrid Mexican-Spanish form that redefined the Mexican form. The paper will look at what roles and affects these Spanish architects had in Mexico immediately after arriving and how they were viewed being from Spain.

With the Spanish Civil war at a conclusion and the Republic of Spain in exile, Spanish architects were among those exiled, leaving Spain with what seemed as small set back in finally realizing a Spanish architecture. With well-known groups, such as GATEPAC and others leading new ideas in Spanish modern architecture and a national identity, being exiled helped disperse the ideas of modern Spanish architecture and revealed it to the world to see for the first time. With some of these influential architects flowing into Mexico, the Mexican architecture was changed and greatly influenced by these new Spanish revolutionaries and even to this day we can see a great deal of Spanish architecture in Mexican architecture.

This paper will start by looking at the works by Juan Ignacio, who has done extensive research in finding who the architects exiled to Mexico were and what they did while in Mexico. Primary sources will include drawings, personal journals, published works, etc. written by architects like Felix Candela, Fernandez Balbuena, and Giner de Los Rios and others like them along with architects that studied under them. Looking at the next-generation architects will also be evaluated and considered.
