This is an outfit featured in the January 1959 issue of Harper's Bazaar is really special. It features a long sleeved dress and a capelet, all in a dark brocade.

 

This is a gorgeous salmon pink 1960's  Ben Zuckerman suit in heavy wool. It has a lovely a-line skirt, and a single breasted jacket with a 'U' shaped seam on the front. This suit is incredibly well made- with features like a hand sewn zip in the skirt and lining of the suit that matches the sleeveless shell.  I believe this suit could be worn for cocktails as well as town wear, as there is s lamee shell, which could be worn with just the skirt, giving the outfit a festive feel.

Suzy Parker was arguable the top model of the 1950's. She appered in many magazines and was able to become a moderately successful actress. She was the sister of another well know model, Dorian Leigh. Suzy Parker died aged 70 in 1992.

What a wonderful ensemble by Ben Zuckerman! Made of a sunny yellow silk/linen mix, it looks modern and contemporary, even though it dates from the mid 1960's.

This outfit would have been worn for garden parties and similar afternoon events.

The outfit was sold at Amelia Gray Beverly Hills, which was a high end boutique located on the famous Rodeo Drive. The store sold only the best and would often have custom labels made for the clothing sold there, as seen in this example 'Ben Zuckerman for Amelia Gray.'
