This wonderful suit dates from 1967- the penultimate year of Ben Zuckerman's career. It's a classic design, quite different from what many 'hippies' were wearing at that time.

'The thing about suit-blouses now: they're as beautifully cut as jackets, with a tailor's kind of precision in their shapes, seams, details. The blouse here- for a suit of clay-and-white herringbone tweed- ivory wool jersey, meticulously shaped with a perfect circle of binding at the neck, a narrow easy belt. Wool suit and blouse by Ben Zuckerman. At Bonwit Telller, Neiman-Marcus, I Magnin. Textured putty stockings by Berkshire. Jewellery by Tiffany. Adolfo hat. Be Natural Lipstick by Scandia.
