I have been waiting for the preview of the May Burda all week. Every time I checked the Russian website the page was up, but I couldn’t see any of the model photos.

I suppose after the brilliance that was December it is natural that there would be something of a lull in the next issue. And … More Newsflash: January 2013 Burda Preview!
Perhaps a better title for this post would be, “BurdaStyle: A Redemption Story.” As you might recall, I was none too thrilled by the early preview of this issue. Luckily, the early preview showcased most of the boring patterns from this issue, instead of the good stuff.
