Schwarzwälder-Kirsch

Do you know the most popular German cream cake? It’s Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. And what makes it special is the « Schuss » – a shot of Black Forest cherry flavored spirit (42% alcohol). We feel fashion stories often lack this « Schuss », that certain something. Well, here is our version of cake fashion, seductive shapes which add the cherry on the, yes, cake. Tomorrow we will share the original recipe of the Kirschtorte as the chefs at the Hotel Schlehdorn in Altglashütten make it. The hotel also served as location for our shoot.

Die Herrin des Hauses – the mistress of the house – keeps everyone on a tight leash. In German we say: „Ihr Wort ist Gesetz“ (her word is the law). Maike exemplifies this role in latex halter-style bra with belt clasp detail, latex midi pencil skirt and thigh high boots with pointy toe and kitten heel SAINT LAURENT BY ANTHONY VACCARELLO; Patent newsboy cap AKRIS; Drop shaped hoop earrings with pearls SASKIA DIEZ.
