It's an honor that this design won the DHL GoGreen Plus Alumni Prize in the Redress Design Award 2024. Now I also take pride in seeing the idea come to life through retired DHL courier uniforms, transforming them into stylish, functional fashion pieces inspired by the journey of a DHL shipment while highlighting the brand's iconic look, logo, and colors," said Angus Tsui.
