DHL is partnering with one of New Zealand’s most eminent design events, Fashion Week, which is making its triumphant return this year.

New Zealand Fashion Week Presented by Giltrap Group is known as a staple in the industry, serving as a platform for New Zealand’s top brands and up-and-coming designers since their inaugural event in 2001. This year’s Fashion Week will be taking place in Auckland from the 25th to the 30th August at Shed 10.

DHL is proud to support the next generation of New Zealand designers by delivering the ‘Future of Fashion’ runway show, which will showcase innovative and forward-thinking designs from New Zealand’s up-and-coming fashion designers. 

Furthermore, each designer in the ‘Future of Fashion’ runway show will be entered in the DHL Fashion Scholarship; designed to identify the country’s best emerging fashion designer and assist them in achieving international growth.

The winner of the scholarship will receive international freight to the value of NZ$10,000, as well as coaching in freight and logistics from DHL Express. DHL have also put forward a runner-up prize of $2,000 in international freight credit.

As one of the world’s leading global logistics partners in the fashion and fabric sector, DHL is proud to continue supporting the future of the industry through this scholarship.
