From the early 1950's, this Ben Zuckerman coat is perfection!
It is a dark colour, probably navy or black, with a tiny waist and a flaring skirt. The collar is large and the sleeves finish in large cuffs. Of course the accessories are perfect- a large cartwheel hat, gloves and shoes that match and a perfect pearl necklace and earings.

From 1962- 'The Year the Waist Came Back'

' Two aspects of 1962 shape-news at left- a fitted to the waist suit in navy blue; a rosy high-waisted tweed coat at right. The navy blue suit, farthest left, has a longish, nipped-in jacket that hits the curves nicely over a walkably slender skirt. By Ben Zuckerman of petit-point wool, about $245. The coat, near left, starts on a high curve, then rounds out softly from a narrow, neatly tapered waist. By Monte-Sano & Pruzan in a rose coloured wool tweed fabric.'

This lovely Ben Zuckerman spring coat is marvellous! Made of ivory fabric with a 'ribbed' design, it is feminine and lovely. It is double breasted and has the typical Zuckerman 3/4 length sleeves. The buttons are fantastic as well- they are decorative and add beauty to the coat.

From 1961- 'In 61's Coat Circles'
'This marks the beginning of a great new sweep. The look is much-more-coat but far-less-detail. In back flows a full tide. Its front is untouched by button or collar, enriched only by crisp, controlled tailoring. Ben Zuckerman does it for us in pale beige or black wool, softened by fur fibre or in a vibrant new wool. $275.'

From 1954, a Ben Zuckerman suit in tweed. The suit is all straight lines, without a hint of the waist.
This photo was taken by Gleb Derujinksy. Born in Russia in 1925 to a prominent family (his father was a very highly regarded sculptor). Derujinsky rose to fame in the 1950's as a fashion photographer who took hundreds of pictures that appeared in magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Sadly Derujinsky was killed in a car accident in 2011.

From Vogue, February 1961.
'Rose, focused to a new brightness, in a before-and-after six that's all smooth curves- played away from the body; to wear with a dash of brown- say café au lait for days in town, don't dress evenings. The belt begins at waist level and rises from there to into bodice territory, deep cape sleeves meet their end at the elbow. With peter pan collar, rounded shoulders, a puffed skirt. By Ben Zuckerman of a velour finished wool.'

An early 1960's Ben Zuckerman coat in charcoal black. The coat has three-quarter length sleeves, soft shoulders and large decorative buttons. It also features what appears to be a mandarin collar- which is a short, unfolded, stand-up collar.
