After filing for insolvency in 2014 the fashion trade show emerged in a new design in September 2016. The new owner - online fashion retailer Zalando - has reshaped Bread & Butter from a trade fair for professionals into a public fashion event, taking place at the Arena Berlin in the Treptow district.

Musical entertainments include Princess Nokia, Yung Hurn, Stefflon Don, Hamza, Sheck Wes, Tiffany Calver, Evian Christ, and many more.

From July 2005 Barcelona became the second location of Bread & Butter alongside Berlin. From July 2007 to January 2009, the tradeshow was held exclusively in Barcelona. In July 2009 Bread & Butter returned to Berlin with biannual shows at Tempelhof Airport. After the January 2015 event was cancelled in 2014, Bread & Butter filed for insolvency in December.
