From the 29 September, 1961 Pittsburgh Press- 'Dress Designers Collect Awards'

Ben Zuckerman was awarded a 'Winnie'- the Coty American Fashion Critic's Award- presented since 1943 to designers who have outstanding work. Also awarded in 1961 were Bill Blass, Gustave Tassell, Bonnie Cashin and Maurice Rentner.

Ben Zuckerman had previously won the award in 1952 and 1958, and this year he was entered into the Hall of Fame.

The above suit was from his current Fall collection. It is an emerald green souffle wool with a coral velveteen overblouse.
