This is my new source of constant joy. What do you feel looking at these fashion models, especially on the faces?  I am overjoyed. Burda magazines for me mean not only patterns - as patterns I can do myself. It is life mode, mood, world view, philosophy, - all about how ladies of the time saw their ideals and expressed themselves.

I love these happy faces of excited schoolgirls! Fashion of the late 1960th is wonderful - hilariously bright, everything is short and cute. 

Looking at these faces… I bet they really had a youthquake happened to them.

Personality vs. Famous Model

My brother Valentine in St.-Petersburg is a teacher of Lindy Hop dance style. He said once that trousers like Fred Astaire's was his dream. Well, dreams need to come true, and I decided to make him a Christmas present. 

I searched for Fred Astair’es  photos, and came to the following:

-he had different trousers, I couldn’t pick one particular style

-his trousers don’t always fit well… More likely quite opposite

-any trousers would be Fred Astaire's if there was Fred Astaire inside them!
