Isabella Albonico in a tweed suit banded and knotted in satin by Ben Zuckerman for Bonwit Teller. From Harper's Bazaar, September 1961.

This is a velvet coat in rich blue. It's double breasted and has large pockets. This coat was worn by Althea Louise Notson, who lived in Oklahoma City and owned Balliet's, a high end boutique.
 

Costume to Cherish from Bonwit's Designer Salon. Priceless look by master tailor Ben Zuckerman... the coat of claret coloured heavy grained silk from Italy, water repellent for weather and lined with French imported natural brown marten, the dress in turf brown wool jersey that blends with the fur lining. From our Designer Salon, it has, needless to say... the Bonwit Teller Touch.

Autumn in focus- creamy beige with brown. Worn by Wilhelmina Cooper.  Beige tweed suit worn with houndstooth check coat reversing to tweed. Photographed by Ben Stern for Vogue 1963.

What's different about the dinner suit this year? The brocade is unglittered, the colours in the magenta to wine plummines. The suit is really a dress, sleeveless, low waisted and a jacket with this years new ease and scope.

Designed by Ben Zuckerman. From Vogue, 1 March 1960.
