DHL transports outfits to Hong Kong Fashion Extravaganza 2013

DHL Express has been handling for a second year in a row the logistics arrangements to transport 100 outfits to the Hong Kong Fashion Extravaganza 2013. The company was appointed the official logistics partner for the show by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC).

The event held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre brought together 1,500 merchandisers, celebrities and business elites.

DHL is providing door-to-door transport for the show outfits and accessories of the four participating international designers totalling 100 outfits. DHL will also be responsible for ensuring the smooth completion of all necessary documentation and customs clearance.

Importing them from the world's fashion capitals into Hong Kong and re-exporting them back to Beijing, Paris and London after the show demands flexibility and close coordination to deal with unexpected changes at short-notice as designers often have multiple shows back-to-back.

"We are proud to have once again been selected by HKTDC as the official logistics partner for Hong Kong Fashion Extravaganza 2013," said Ken Lee, head of commercial, Asia Pacific and managing director, Hong Kong and Macau, DHL Express. "Fashion demands careful handling of often-delicate shipments coupled with the need for rapid and reliable delivery."

This year's Fashion Extravaganza showcased London's Holly Fulton, Beijing's Chi Zhang, Paris-based designer duo Nana Aganovich and Brooke Taylor, and Hong Kong's Johanna Ho.
