(openPR) - The seventh BREAD & BUTTER BARCELONA started with a bang in Luna Park on 01. July 2008!
Swedish light-designer Bjorn Tagemose overwhelmed the BREAD & BUTTER community with a stunning video-installation, showing a film across four mega-screens, which was introduced by MTV legend Ray Cokes. Each screen featured one of the newly defined areas of BREAD & BUTTER BARCELONA: Denim Base, Urban Superior, Sport & Street, Fashion Now and Sportswear.
Afterwards, the Swedish cult-band The Hives took over with a big bang and performed live in front of 2,100 people: fierce, fast and loud! With their punk and Rock’n’Roll fusion, BREAD & BUTTER’s visitors experienced a night to remember.
VOICES ON THE OPENING RECEPTION
Marco Götz, Founder Drykorn
“We are very happy that, for the third time, we are able to deliver the outfits for the staff. It’s an incredible event. I’m enthusiastic about the Opening Reception, and am looking forward to the rest of the show being in the same style.”
Brice Partouche, Founder April77
“I’m amazed that The Hives are playing – I’m a fan. This time we will present our “April77 Records” label. I found my Scandinavian distributors at BBBarcelona three years ago, now I hope to find some more of these cool types.”
Fred Bschaden, Head of Sales Germany Red Wing Shoes
“I see business like the European championship – with luck alone you’ll get ahead but you won’t make it to the top. I’m looking forward to another successful show. It’s perfectly planned and the entertainment factor is great as usual.”
Wolf Jochen Schulte-Hillen, Managing Director SH Selection Management Consultancy
“I just came back from a business trip around the world. Whether it’s China, Japan or Central America, people have heard about BBBarcelona and there’s a positive resonance all round.”
Walt Molt, Managing Director Irie Daily Berlin
“It’s moving forward! We are now the European champions in everybody’s hearts. In football as in business you’ve got to start with yourself, to set a positive statement.”
Silke Emig, Editor Department Progressive Fashion TextilWirtschaft
“Cool party, great performance and explosive introduction from The Hives. BBBarcelona is the perfect mix of beach and business. The best combination for me in Spring/Summer 09 is
denim, vintage and chinos!”
