The Vintage Model & Designer Model
Anniversary Special: Burda Style, ensuring style goes beyond borders!
Visionary and daring, Aenne Burda transformed fashion into a universal language accessible to all women. In the 1980s, the magazine's rapid expansion (more than 4 million copies in 1989) was a reflection of the cultural and political openness of the time. Together with her team, Aenne Burda was a recognized pioneer who left behind the powerful legacy that fashion belongs to all women.
The “Julia” culottes skirt on the left revisits a Burda design from 1982. Its wide pleats at the crotch open elegantly, offering remarkable freedom of movement. An icon of the 1980s, the culotte skirt perfectly combines vintage spirit and confident modernity for a free and self-assured silhouette.
On the right, the designer model is an exclusive piece from the print version of the magazine! Create a spectacularly voluminous silhouette with the 129 short dress, which combines XXL tulle balloon sleeves with sumptuous gold brocade. Designed by The Viola, it embodies the brand's signature style: exuberant and timeless fashion, imbued with an irresistible “retro luxury” spirit.
Shades of Gray: Sewing Modern Office Wear
Elegant gray tones meet modernized and feminized cuts inspired by 1980s tailoring! This wardrobe combines rigor and comfort with confident modernity. The soft, carefully selected fabrics highlight lines that are both structured and comfortable to wear.
The 110 knotted cardigan to the left features a structured look and a shimmering fabric (a top trend for the winter season), making it perfect for winter. Classic yet feminine, it is delicately fitted with darts and revisits office wear with originality.
The 117 cardigan, our cover model, is soft and refined, sewn in a chevron knit. Its kimono sleeves and snap buttons concealed under a facing offer absolute comfort and understated elegance.
The Trendy Collection: Belle de Jour, Sewing Up the Charm of the Sixties
Inspired by Catherine Deneuve, icon of the 1960s, this collection focuses on minimalist cuts with perfectly mastered details. Whether in understated colors or animal prints, each piece exudes subtle refinement, faithful to the timeless elegance of French fashion.
The 103 wrap skirt on the left is a modern and elegant classic. Made from jacquard fabric, it has an A-line shape, a subtle nod to the mini skirt of the 1960s. Its rounded hem, highlighted by decorative buttons, adds a refined and contemporary touch.
The 108 sweater is the featured pink pattern in the magazine! Very practical, the pattern pieces are highlighted in pink on the pattern sheet. Understated at first glance, this sweater is reminiscent of a uniform, playing on a black and white contrast, with a Peter Pan collar and white facing concealing a discreet button placket.
Cuvry Collection: Black & Olive Green, a Winter Duo
A Curvy collection designed for all occasions, combining basic pieces with more sophisticated styles. The olive green and black combination brings modernity and elegance, perfect for enjoying winter in style.

The 120 jacket, available in sizes 46-56, is a strong, modern piece, ideal for facing cold days with any look. The aviator cut, highlighted by leather details and visible metal zippers, plays with a textured black jacquard effect, while the collar and cuffs are made of teddy fabric.
Best of Faux Fur: A Touch of Luxury That Warms Up Winter
Whether it's a cardigan, stole, or jacket, the best-of collection highlights easy-to-sew faux fur pieces for a luxurious winter style inspired by urban attire.
