A Zuckerman suit, featuring a shell, jacket and skirt. The shell and the lining of the jacket are made of the same material, and on the shell, you can see a seam close to the fold of the jacket. This seam has the stripes matched on both sides- a detail that you usually find only on higher quality garments.
This ensemble is modelled by Veruschka, a top model from the 1960's. She was born in Germany in 1939 and at her peak was earing up to $10,000 a day, an unheard of figure for that era. She eventually left modelling in 1975, but has occasionally returned to the catwalk.
