An ad, from 1952, featuring a lovely red wool suit. Ben Zuckerman's strengths were always in his suits and coats, and this example illustrates this wonderfully.

As you can see, Zuckerman was the winner of the 1952 Coty Fashion Critics Award. The Coty American Fashion Critics' Awards (awarded 1943-1984) were first announced in January 1942 by the cosmetics and perfume company Coty, Inc. to promote and celebrate American fashion, and encourage design during the Second World War. Zuckerman won in 1952 and 1958 and was given a Hall of Fame award in 1961.
