The full preview of the March edition is up on the Russian website. I have to admit I am totally covetous of most of the Burda Plus patterns in this issue. The rest of the designs… not so much. It not that there is anything particularly bad, it’s just that I don’t find any of … More Newsflash: March Burda Preview Posted
Burda Style Russia has posted the full preview of the February issue. Based on first impressions I wasn’t overly excited for this issue. Now that the full preview is here, I have to say my opinion has totally changed.

The preview of the final Burda magazine issue of 2013 has been posted to the Russian website. It seems like a lot of the recent issues have produced a rather lackluster response (except November, which was in general quite well received), but I am happy to say that I think Burda is going to end … More Newsflash: December Burda Preview Posted
The full preview of the November Burda has been posted to the Russian website.

In the meantime, … More Newsflash: August Burda Full Preview Posted
