Bread & Butter Berlin: Fashion Show 2010 in Tempelhof

After several years in exile, the Bread & Butter fashion show made a welcome return to Berlin last year. The 2010 winter shows take place in the former airport Tempelhof from 20th to 22nd January – this year with a Country theme. Opening the show are Berlin country rock cover band The Boss Hoss, who have enjoyed moderate success with unusual interpretations of country songs. The fashion halls in hangars and on the runway are fully booked and will play host to the 2011/12 season’s streetwear collections from designers including Diesel, Boss Orange, Lacoste, Levi’s and G-Star. According to Bread & Butter’s director Karl-Heinz Müller, the fashion show will be more successful than ever – despite the financial crisis. “The exhibitors’ interests remain unchanged,” says M…üller in an interview with Fashion-Community Styleranking. “Bread & Butter is the leading platform for street and urban wear in Europe, if not worldwide.”

The event’s networking hotspot is the Original Sin Saloon with it’s western-style atmosphere. With live music every night, there is an emphasis on meet and greet in the restaurant where guests can pull on a pair of old Levi’s and cool-again cowboy boots to fit in with the running theme.

For anyone yet to book accommodation, Escapio has some of the few remaining rooms in some of Berlin’s hippest hotels. Arcotel Velvet on the trendy Oranienburger Straße or the Inn Sight City Appartments in Prenzlauer Berg will satisfy the tastes of the fussiest fashionistas -  with affordable prices even during Bread & Butter. Anyone desiring an extra luxurious and stylish stay should check into The Mandala Hotel with its unbeatable Potsdamer Platz location. But be quick: don’t miss out on the last available rooms or you’ll end up stuck in an airport hotel!

One of the fashion community’s favourite hotels, the Ellington, is already fully booked but rub shoulders with the stars and catch DJane Leslie von JazzRadio 101.9 on 21st January who will be mixing the award winning electro jazz session “White Room” live in the Ellington’s lounge. Don’t miss the delicious cocktails during happy hour: 50% off between 9 and 10pm.
