From the March 1966 Harper's Bazaar- American Know How.

'Ben Zuckerman-Young, young suits -brief jackets, little vests, kicky skirts,white wool twill and crepe.'

It is interesting to see what is considered young in 1966- suits, gloves, hats and low heeled shoes. Very formal compared to what is worn today!

Ben Zuckerman refused to follow the trends of the mid 1960's- he showed skirts that covered the knee, though the skirts were shorter than in previous years. His creations were beautifully constructed, elegant and chic uniforms designed with ladies in mind. Zuckerman stated that he was only trying to dress a hundred thousand ladies- and that was all. A lighthearted touch to his shows of this time were the presence of his two poodles- BZ and HS.

In 1966 he showed pale colours- mauve, lettuce green, white and pale pink coats over black dresses.  He felt that pale colours could be worn in winter rather than switching to heavier, darker shades.
