From the 12 February, 1967 L.A. Times- Stunning Coat-to-Coat Style Broadcasts a Clear Fashion Message.

From left to right- White wool ottoman coat and silver striped dress by Christian Dior, Ben Zuckerman's green coat trimmed with white takes on a coachman's air and Jacques Tiffeau's green, yellow and white plaid goes with a yellow dress.

Zuckerman's coat was a light, bright green with broad shoulders and a belted back. It featured coachman-type slanted pockets, a sharply notched collar and three-quarter length sleeves. A trim of white grossgrain commands attention to these details.

In 1967 Zuckerman made three quarters of his collection in French Racine Jersey. He had gone for ultra luxury in his evening clothing, with the use of fur trims. A favorite costume was in petal pink and was cuffed and collared in chinchilla. Another favorite was in brown and beige diagonal tweed with a jacket trimmed in black Persian lamb. Coats were cinched with kidskin belts with large buckles.
