From the 14 February, 1964 Life Magazine- Dolls in Guys Clothing.

'Sharply tailored, the suits are worn with pumps with contrast-colour heels (Capezio) that suggest spats and snap brim hats (Adolfo). They include the box-jacket suit (Seymour Fox, $215), braid-bound suit (Ben Zuckerman, $375), suit with organdy blouse (Geoffrey Beene, $250) and white suit (Ben Zuckerman, $275).'

Youthful looks were seen at Ben Zuckerman in 1964. He advocated crisp fabrics. He featured the 'schoolgirl' look in white linen, as well as a lipstick red blouse under a pale blue suit. Striped or plaid dresses in silk with matching coats provided a young alternative to brocade.

Zuckerman continued to show slim skirts. He also had a number of jackets with large patch pockets and low belted waistlines.
