Pretty in pink! Ben Zuckerman created this beautiful ensemble in the early 1960's. It features a singled breasted jacket and skirt in boucle wool and a slightly paler silk shell. Topped by a hat made by Emme and lovely jewellery and the result is wonderful.

This is a really beautiful Ben Zuckerman coat in black wool. It's gently fit and flare shape is very flattering and it is made more special by diamante buttons.

What a stunning suit! It dates from the 1950's and is perfectly feminine while still being tailored.
The skirt is straight and falls below the knee. The jacket has a fitted waist and is single breasted with pockets at the hip. It also has a scarf attaced at the neckline. Perfect!

This is a beauty of a coat, in heavy basket weave wool. The coat has a huge cape like collar, and has an interesting design feature- an internal elastic 'belt' that pulls the waist of the coat in without the need for an additional removable belt.
