The German Burda website has posted the December line drawings and garment photos. I will do my usual full review at a later point, once I can see everything in conjunction with the model photos.

I have never really gotten into the show, and while I could appreciate the costuming, somehow it never captured my fancy the way it seemed to the rest of the world. Indeed, … More My Latest Obsession
Ok, so I had a menial task that needed to be done for months… but since it was a boring menial task I put it off until the last possible minute.
