Since the show started the marriage with the catalan capital was total, always increasing the visitors and exhibiters at every edition.

Karl Heinz Muller, the Bread & Butter owner has, during the years received several offers to import the event to another european capitals, but he always decided to stay in Barcelona, for the local response and also the weather. But it was the right offer at the right time to make him change his mind. Muller, in press conference said “its time to move on”. He also thanks the city of Barcelona, and has encouraged the local goverment to find new initiatives related to fashion industry.

The Bread & Butter started back in July 200, in the industrial city of Cologne in western Germany. Presenting just 50 brands who decided to avoid the traditional tradefairs, the first edition attracted more than 5,000 visitors.
In January 2003 (4th Edition) the Bread & Butter arrived to Berlin with more than 230 exhibitors and 15,000 visitors and right after in 2005 the Tradeshow flew to Barcelona.

Now the Bread & Butter will celebrate its returns to Berlin, once again growing. The next edition will start this summer July 1st – 3rd 2009 at the incredible and historical location of the Airport Berlin-Tempelhof.

Thanks to Bread & Butter for all the unforgattable moments we experinced during those years and wish you all the best luck and success in your new home.
