We love Bread and Butter! Every year after Christmas when everyone else is feeling gloomy, Claire and I get all excited about the trip to Berlin where we see new and existing fashion brands showcased at the wonderful Bread And Butter trade show. It's a great opportunity to catch up with familiar faces and meet tons of new ones too and this time we had the added bonus of our lovely colleague James' company!

It's an early start, heading off from Bristol, Heathrow bound, at the un-godly hour of 3am. A couple of bleary eyed hours later, we found ourselves seated ready for some top nosh breakfast at Gordon Ramsey's Plane Food restaurant at terminal 5 (the best terminal by far). This always deserves a mention, my Eggs Florentine was a vision to behold and tasted pretty good too.

When we finally arrived in a rather nippy Berlin, we paid a visit to the trade show Premium first. This was a high-end fashion show where we picked up loads of details from potential new suppliers and brands with the aim to launch later this year. We caught up with the guys at Chaser LA and absolutely loved their new ranges, we now know whats coming in all the way up to July! Expect to see more distressing, ripped details, tie dye and fringing, perfect for this year's 90's trend. No pics allowed though, so you will just have to keep you ear close to the ground!

Then it was off to Bread and Butter which is housed in the magnificent (now de-funct) Templehof Airport. With all the original signs, luggage conveyor belts and check in desks intact, it really is a breathtaking venue.

Frantically weaving our way through the crowds, we got to drop by Chunk, Coloud and Worn By 's stands (as well as many more) where we got a sneak preview of the up-coming lines for 2012. And we can tell you, there is a lot to look forward to! We also spotted some exciting new brands here which we can't wait to start working with this year.

Inspired by a whole host of proper old school treasures, retro revivalists Too Late To Dye Young are on a mission to remind us of just how good our childhood TV heroes were and we've just launched a tonne of their latest designs!

We've run down a few of our favourites below for you but check out the whole range here!

First transmitting in 1952 as part of Watch With Mother and running for 20 years on it's initial run, The Flowerpot Men has a very sentimental place in many hearts! The show featured Bill and Ben, two flowers in pots who could speak their own form of English, Oddle Poddle and move their branches like limbs. We think this amazing tee from Too Late To Dye Young is absolutely Loblob (lovely) and is a fab nostalgic find!

Show your appreciation for an Aardman classic with this Men's Shaun The Sheep tee. After appearing in the short Wallace and Gromit film, A Close Shave in 1995, he was catapulted to fame and promptly given his own TV series. We love the way this tee give the character an 80's twist with the slogan, Shaun Says Relax!

Remember the crime-fighting bat with superpowers, AKA Batfink! With his super-sonic sonar radar and metallic black wings, he was the ultimate superhero of the 1950's and 60's! This wicked tee from Too Late To Dye Young comes wiht his classic catchphrase, To The Batmobile!

Omelette du fromage, Dial M For Monkey, Major Glory, 90's cartoon classic Dexter's laboratory wasn't half good! Pay tribute to the young boy who concealed a massive laboratory in his bedroom, keeping it secret from his parents and closed to his life-ruining sister, Dee Dee with this wicked tee from Too Late To Dye Young. Featuring a shot of Dexter and the slogan ‘You Push my Buttons,' you can hear that little ginger genius's voice in your head right now, can't you?
