New Beginnings

Welcome to 2009! Each New Year brings a fresh start, a clean slate, and unexplored adventures.

This year marks the beginning of a new era at Berroco, as Margery Winter retires and Norah Gaughan takes the reins as Designer Director. We wish Margery all the best and we will miss her! Norah has three collections with Berroco to her credit so far, and a fourth is in the pipeline. Michael del Vecchio’s interview with Norah begins on page 14.

We present two designs by Norah following the feature and she shared a great story regarding them. The adult model is wearing a partial sweater. It wasn’t quite finished in time for the photo shoot. The jeans jacket covers up the fact there are no sleeves. However, a cuff peeks out from his left hand. That’s the only part of either sleeve that got finished before the deadline. The right hand is strategically placed behind the little boy, out of sight. Clever thinking by the team at Berroco saved the day!. continued...
