This is a lovely Ben Zuckerman jacket, that was likely paired with a skirt. The jacket is made of very heavy wool in a black and white herringbone pattern, and is trimmed in black braid. The style of the jacket is very Chanel.

This is a stunning Ben Zuckerman jacket, once part of a suit. It is made of a very heavy and substantial wool tweed and is trimmed in fox fur at the cuffs and collar. It is impeccably tailored and would have been a very expensive suit to buy. I believe it dates from the late `50's to early `60's.

Here we have a truly stunning Ben Zuckerman cocktail ensemble. It is made up of a skirt that is knee length, and a blouse that is short sleeved and fastens with buttons up the back.
The standout piece is the jacket, which fastens asymmetrically. It has a tie at the neckline, and can be tied however the wearer would like. This ensemble would be worn to cocktail parties and similar  evening events.

This stunning Ben Zuckerman suit dates from the early to mid 1960's. It's made of navy blue boucle tweed. The skirt is simple in design to allow the jacket to shine. The jacket is perfect, single breasted with a roll collar.

This is a gorgeous evening coat, in a thick pale blue wool. It is double breasted and has diamante buttons and a collar encrusted in rhinestones and pearls. The coat was sold at Rose Goldwasser, which was probably a high end boutique.

This gorgeous Ben Zuckerman suit dates from the late 1960's, towards the end of Ben Zuckerman's career. It is a pale grey wool, with a typical Zuckerman plain skirt, and a jacket that has 3/4 length sleeves, and a half belt at the waist. The model is wearing a fantastic hat, that almost resembles a towel wrapped around the head.
