From the 10 Jan 1957 Chicago Daily Tribune.

'The highlight of the Ben Zuckerman collection was the little cutaway jacket suit, designed to be worn with jacket open to reveal a frothy blouse beneath. This is of brown and white tweed.'

Zuckerman's collection was widely rated as stealing the New York Dress Institute show.  His outfits were original and quietly elegant.  An influence of Chanel was seen with sailor collars, brass buttons and open jackets. Particular mention was made of his use of lavender- including a mauve silk semi fitted suit, an ultraviolet cashmere coat and a lilac silk fitted coat and dress with a calf belt.  Some of the coat sleeves reached a new high point of just above the elbow.
