From the 1 January, 1959 Vogue-a twilled worsted suit in bright blue with a cropped, unfitted slip cover jacket by Ben Zuckerman.

A really lovely 1960's Ben Zuckerman coat in black wool. This coat features large rhinestone buttons and is slightly fitted at the waist. It also has 3/4 length sleeves which was a style often seen on the First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy. The back of the coat has a half belt with the same buttons as accents.

The coat also features a label from Frances Heffernan -Winnetka. Frances Heffernan is a store, still open to this day, that features higher end labels. It was opened in 1932 and is run today by the niece of the original owner.

From the 11 October, 1964 L.A. Times- Ball Gowns with Elegance.

'Azalea pink wool sharpens the focus of Ben Zuckerman's gently tailored long evening suit with a small, jewel encrusted collar. Its decollete shell blouse is a lighter blend of bright pink silk.'

From the 17 October, 1954 L.A. Times-

'Ben Zuckerman cuts a grey flannel tailleur with a long-lined jacket, adds a precise collar, and an ascot of brilliant red velvet.'

From the 31 July, 1960 Hartford Courant- Scintillating Silks in Medieval Mood.

'New moods in silk: Designed with new subtlety of silhouette by Ben Zuckerman for Fall, this theatre costume is in muted taupe and blue warp printed silk satin, delicately traced with tendrilar lines which suggest flowers. The coat has broadened shoulders tapering to a slim hemline and goes over a dress of the same fabric with a dropped waistline.'

From the 26 August, 1956 New York Times- Autumn Suits Mark the Fresh Fall of Tweed.

'Wheat coloured tweed, warmed with nutria, a mild winter's wardrobe. The little coat is sleeveless, collarless and entirely reversible, widening perceptibly at the shoulders. The sheath that does the sleeving is a simple case of beautiful planning. By Ben Zuckerman, $450 at Saks Fifth Avenue. Hat by Emme,  handbag by Jana.'
