TO WATCH: TOP 10 BERLINALE MUST SEES

Schnitzel deluxe–but make it fashion
When two icons meet, something unexpected happens. No one else than Berlin’s luxury restaurant borchardt, famous for its Schnitzel, teamed up with–also Berlin-based–fashion brand WRSTBHVR. On January 27th, they’ll launch their capsule collection in KaDeWe’s WRSTBHVR x borchardt pop-up store. What makes this collaboration so interesting is not only the big names but the clash of two very different brands. On one hand, a high–priced, tony restaurant with a history that goes back a long way: In 1853, borchardt’s doors opened for the very first time, quickly welcoming well-known guests until today. On the other hand, a young streetwear label founded in 2014 that focuses on comfort and contemporary, plain designs.
But it wouldn’t be Berlin, if there wasn’t a wish to mix up poshness and everyday streetstyle.
Wake me up and then fuck me up
Hoodie and T-shirt variations, a dress, a longsleeve, a sweater, two embroidered bomber jackets made out of satin, and a cap make up the limited 10-piece capsule collection. The restaurant’s famous Schnitzel dish and its equally popular espresso martini cocktail embellish the clothes’ fronts and backs as embroidery or print.
Also, the drink’s history found a place on the fabric: As the story goes, a man once ordered a cocktail at a bar that was supposed to make him both awake and drunk. The result? The coffee- and vodka-based espresso martini—and now the phrase “wake me up and then fuck me up” on the WRSTBHVR x borchardt shirt. Additionally, the restaurant’s front view is incorporated into the design. Overall, it’s a collection that’s playful, doesn’t take itself too seriously, and is sure to spark plenty of interest among Berliners—whether they love Schnitzel, streetwear, or both.
