For emerging designers, visibility often comes through carefully chosen platforms rather than headline runway shows. DER BERLINER SALON has become one of those places.
Presented during Berlin Fashion Week, the exhibition has spent more than a decade introducing promising designers to an international audience of buyers, editors, cultural institutions, and industry professionals. Rather than focusing on big shows, the format celebrates design process, craftsmanship, material exploration, and independent creative voices.
This season, Swiss designer Anastasia Bull joins a curated selection of 36 designers exhibiting at the historic Große Orangerie at Schloss Charlottenburg, placing her work alongside some of the most exciting emerging names from Germany and beyond.
For those familiar with Bull's work, the presentation feels like a natural growth. Her collections are driven by a clear visual language that balances sculptural silhouettes with meticulous craftsmanship, creating garments that feel contemporary while remaining deeply connected to the making process. Rather than following seasonal trends, her practice focuses on developing a recognisable design identity through proportion, construction, and carefully considered details.
That approach aligns closely with the philosophy behind DER BERLINER SALON itself. Curated by Christiane Arp, Chairwoman of Fashion Council Germany, the exhibition continues to champion designers whose work demonstrates both creative originality and technical excellence. More than simply presenting collections, it creates opportunities for dialogue between emerging talent and the wider international fashion industry.
Berlin has long occupied a distinctive place within Europe's fashion landscape. Less defined by commercial luxury than cities such as Paris or Milan, it has built its reputation on experimentation, independent thinking, and cross-disciplinary creativity. DER BERLINER SALON reflects that spirit, bringing together designers whose practices challenge conventional approaches to fashion while remaining grounded in craftsmanship.
For HAY-HAY, platforms like these remain some of the most valuable places to discover the next generation of designers. They remind us that fashion's future is often shaped long before it reaches the biggest runways, through exhibitions, conversations, and independent voices steadily building their own creative language.
Anastasia Bull's participation marks another step in that journey, introducing her work to a wider international audience while reinforcing the growing presence of Swiss design within Europe's contemporary fashion scene.
