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.
