Zuzek designs quickly began gracing the pages of magazines. Lillytonias was photographed by Robert Phillips on a one-shouldered maxi dress worn by Sonny Bippus for the March 1968 issue of Sports Illustrated. This floral was just one of many designs featured in the Ruth Leider article, “Lilly Fashions Her Own Kind of Pulitzer Prize”.
