DHL has also created a study in cooperation with the CFDA: Under the title "The Human-Centered Supply Chain" we examine the future of fashion logistics with a focus on central challenges and actions areas for supply chains in the fashion industry. Based on the study results, we put together a "Designer’s Playbook" that will help support aspiring designers to establish their fashion labels successfully.
We enable fashion companies and designer's global growth and work closely with a number of Industry associations, including the British Fashion Council (BFC), the Council of Fashion Designer of America (CDFA) and the Business of Fashion. As well as this, we have long standing relationships with the Camera Nationale della Moda Italiana (CNMI), JFW Organization and Artefact.
As the partner of fashion businesses of all sizes, DHL is part of the fabric of the 2.4 trillion-dollar global industry. In 2018, DHL is partnering with Business of Fashion, a leading resource for fashion business intelligence, to deliver a series of high-profile podcast interviews. 6 entrepreneurial talents will tell their stories on how they build their global fashion businesses. You can listen to the podcast here:
"You are not going to forgive yourself
if you don't do it."
"All of a sudden I had two – three million dollars of inventory.
I was terrified. What now?"
"Passion is infectious."
"I don't want to work on my weaknesses,
I prefer to work on my strengths."
"Good ideas don't come around that frequently,
and this is really happenstance."
"I felt if we were going to have our customers,
we should be able to supply them wherever they were in the world."
"I didn't start the Rent the Runway because i wanted to be an entrepreneur,
but because I wanted women to feed incredible about themselves every single day."
