DHL Express Turkey Creates the "DHL Grove" with Raincoats Designed by Gökhan Yavaş
Turkey’s logistics leader, DHL Express, is drawing attention to the global climate crisis with its "#FeelTheBlanks" slogan through a special line of DHL Express raincoats designed by Gökhan Yavaş, one of the brightest talents in Turkish fashion. Proceeds from the sales of these raincoats, created through a collaboration between DHL Express Turkey and Gökhan Yavaş, will be used to establish a grove within the ÇEKÜL Foundation’s "7 Trees Forests" project.
As the pioneer of express air transportation in Turkey, DHL Express Turkey is contributing to reforestation efforts in the ÇEKÜL 7 Trees Forests with raincoats designed by Gökhan Yavaş, known for his modern, energetic, and unique style. Income generated from the limited-edition DHL Express raincoats will fund the planting of 3,500 saplings in the Sivas 4 Eylül area, forming the "DHL Grove."
Having previously supported events like Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Istanbul, The Core Istanbul, the Japan Fashion Festival, and London Fashion Week, as well as fashion brands such as Vetements and Mynavi, DHL Express and DHL Express Turkey are now highlighting the climate crisis — including the devastating forest fires of last summer — with the "#FeelTheBlanks" slogan. Believing that immediate action is necessary against the collective trauma caused by deforestation and drought, DHL Express Turkey invites everyone to help heal the damage to nature and restore what has been lost.
The limited-edition DHL Express raincoats will be available for purchase on Gökhan Yavaş’s official website (https://gokhannyavas.com/). Customers who purchase a raincoat will also be supporting the planting of new saplings under the ÇEKÜL Foundation’s 7 Trees Forests Program.
DHL Express, Turkey’s logistics leader, announced its "#FeelTheBlanks" campaign — conducted in collaboration with renowned designer Gökhan Yavaş — with a special promotional film. Directed by Orçun Mutlu, the film was shot at DHL Express Turkey’s headquarters located at the Cargo Area of Istanbul Airport, and it calls on everyone to take action against the climate crisis with the powerful message of "#FeelTheBlanks."
