DHL emloyees from around the world who proudly wear the yellow and red color every day, joint into the buzz, sharing how they style the look.
Red and yellow will never go out of fashion
The designer has now taken the look to the next level for Spring/Summer 2018: The brand new DHL capsule collection contains ten red and yellow pieces, including a T-shirt, a hoodie, sweater pants, a cap, a polo shirt and socks. The collection had been photographed by design head Demna Gvasalia at 50 locations around Zurich and installed on two meter high metal plates for the Vetements “NO SHOW” event held in Paris on June 24 .
The idea behind Vetements’ design was to emphasize DHL’s role in enabling global fashion and e-Commerce by being a strong and reliable logistic partner to the industry. The extended collaboration underscores that DHL is one of the most recognized and valuable global brands.
"This collaboration with Vetements and the broader range of DHL items in their capsule collection is a great privilege for us and a real endorsement of DHL as one of the most recognized and valuable global brands. The Vetements designs emphasize perfectly DHL's role in enabling global fashion and e-commerce with our logistics services. At the same time they also show our commitment to the fashion industry and that we are always in tune with the times," said Ken Allen, CEO DHL Express.
