Luksus revolutionizes American textile design in Bennington
Norman Luksus, a Boston designer, shifts from outsourcing to two idle mills in Bennington Vermont to produce handpainted fabrics for Vogue Americana. His woolens and 4 ply crepes fetch high wholesale prices, with fabrics chosen by Norman Norell and other top designers. He runs color rooms, his own loom, and labs, balances production, and plans a fall wool collection while avoiding retail outlets. He envisions 20 more mill jobs and aims to keep design in the United States against European sourcing.
