DHL EXPORTED ANNOUNCES CYCLE TWO OF THE 2014/2015 SEASON
IMG and DHL will kick off the second cycle of DHL Exported tomorrow at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.

• FRANCESCA LIBERATORE February 18, 2015

As part of the DHL Exported Program, designers receive a fully produced runway show for two consecutive seasons along with marketing and PR as well as logistics support for the duration of the program.
