Here we have a beautiful blue Ben Zuckerman coat, which dates from the late 1960's. It is very 'mod' in feel, but in a way suitable for a more conservative customer- the jacket is longer and the cut more forgiving than a mod coat meant for a young lady.

This Ben Zuckerman suit, in navy blue, dates from about 1955. It is a classic shape, with a straight skirt and a single breasted jacket, featuring gold buttons and a slightly fitted waist. 
It was worn by a well heeled lady with a prominent husband. This suit would have perfectly fit into her busy life.

This beautiful Ben Zuckerman suit is truly timeless. It was made in the early to mid 1960's but wouldn't look out of place today.
The style of this suit is very Jacqueline Kennedy during the White House years. It has many features that echo suits she wore- the simple skirt, the large, statement buttons and the 3/4 length sleeves.

What a pink dream of an outfit! Ben Zuckerman probably made this in the early 1960's. The dress is sleeveless and has a fitted waistband in navy. The jacket is single breasted with glass buttons and navy cuffs that give the impression of a navy blouse under the jacket- a very Chanel touch.
The colourway of this ensemble is very reminiscent of the suit worn by Jacqueline Kennedy on that tragic day in 1963, which mean it was likely made before that date.
