From Vogue, 1958, a Ben Zuckerman coat in raspberry.
This coat is fantastic! There are pleats at the waist and the back is in a 'sack' shape. This style of back was used frequently by Balenciaga and this coat is probably a homage to the master.

From 1953- A Ben Zuckerman coat in chocolate brown in a long swing shape. The coat has no collar but features large buttons running down to the waist as well as at the wrist. There is a decorative seam just below the bottom button.
This photo was taken by Horst P Horst, the famous photographer who worked from the mid 1930's to 1991. He was well known for his fashion photographs as well as his photographs of movie stars from the golden age. He worked mainly in black and white but as is evidenced in this photo he did take colour photos. He was born in Germany in 1906 and died in Palm Beach in 1999.

This is a Ben Zuckerman ensemble in rich black silk. The ensemble is made up of a sleeveless dress with an a-line skirt and a short jacket with 3/4 length sleeves and a ring collar.
The material of this outfit is a heavy silk with a slight sheen to it.
I would date this suit to the early 1960's as it has a slight Jacqueline Kennedy feel to it.

This is a Ben Zuckerman jacket, once part of a suit, in grey wool, trimmed in silk. The buttons, which are covered in bronzy silk, really stand out and make this jacket quite special.
