The Future of Fashion
Positive Fashion
Sustainable clothing is here to stay. Positive Fashion is a green initiative that aims to support the industry in becoming more environmentally friendly and responsible. It promotes using sustainable practices, materials and delivery methods, reducing waste, conserving water and cutting down carbon emissions. It also encourages re-use and re-commerce for a circular economy.
Digitalization in Fashion
AI’s critical focus in fashion continues to be on predicting popular products, minimizing overstocking, identifying emerging national and international trends, and seeking out ways to reduce waste in production and transportation. At DHL, we’re using AI and advanced big data analytics to help customers improve efficiency and performance on sustainability.
Championing Up-and-Coming Labels
DHL’s commitment to the Fashion Sector is demonstrated by our partnerships with leading brands and upcoming designers.
