The early preview for the February 2013 Burda Style magazine has been posted - you can see it on the
German website or the
Russian website.
So far it looks slightly more interesting than January. I haven't seen any wow looks in the preview so far, but there is a bit of potential, so I think I am going to reserve judgement until the line drawings come out. I will say that the photos make it feels a bit more like a "fashion" magazine that the previous issue. There are a lot of looks I probably won't want to sew, but I actually find visually appealing in the images. So I will wait to pass judgement. But we can take a look at what has shown up so far anyway:
 |
While I find this section interesting and well styled, and I look forward to seeing more,
I don't think the styles will be flattering to me, so I probably won't be sewing them. |
 |
| Print mixing... I do sort of like that jacket. |
 |
| The dress is fairly basic, but I sort of like it. |
 |
Hmmm... I think we all need boucle dresses now.
Maybe without pockets though. |
 |
The knit top is pretty basic, but I like it and I hope it is an included pattern.
Also, those shoes, what? I mean, I like the shoes, but not with the rest of that outfit. |
 |
| Another knit top I rather like. |
The plus section looks like it is going to be full of drool-worthy wedding looks. So much pretty!
 |
| I LOVE this top. I hope it also shows up as a dress... |
 |
| I love this coat! Beautiful... |
 |
| This would be a great dress, even if it wasn't for a wedding. |
And, of course, it also has a lot of children's communion looks (every February, without fail). So, all in all, so far I have to say it is a much better collection than January. But I don't think there is quite enough yet to tell if it is going to be a great issue of merely ok. I am looking forward to the full preview with the line drawings. What do you all think? Are you going to join me in cautious optimism? Or does it look like a mish-mash of rehashed patterns from the past year? Anything you are excited about yet?
I skipped January issue thought I liked preview, so hope this time will be ok! I mean I like preview again%) So hope this magazine will have nice patterns when it will be in shops. I like dresses and the red knit top. And shoes are ok for me, I sometimes wear the same look%))
ReplyDeleteThat last white dress is delish, and reminds me of that Pattern Review Vogue dress that was super popular for ever and a day.
