In a groundbreaking partnership, Diesel and Timberland have joined forces to unveil the second chapter of the DIESEL❤VES program. Launched in December 2023, this initiative invites brands, often considered competitors, to collaborate in sharing resources, materials, and creative vision. Following the success of DIESEL❤VES LEE, which debuted in March 2024, this new collaboration between two heritage giants aims to tackle overproduction in the fashion industry while delivering a unique and meaningful collection.
Two Brands, One Vision
Diesel, a global leader in denim, and Timberland, synonymous with rugged, weather-ready style, have combined their expertise and shared values to create a capsule collection that embodies quality, functionality, individuality, and community. The collection showcases six colorways of shirts crafted entirely from unsold stock sourced from both brands. Each piece is a seamless blend of Diesel denim and Timberland plaid flannel, featuring one brand’s fabric on the front and the other’s on the back.
This innovative design not only highlights the creative potential of collaboration but also gives new life to surplus materials. As Maisie Willoughby, Chief Marketing Officer for Timberland, explains, “Sustainability has long been a priority for our brand. This project helps us give overstock garments a second life in a unique and creative style expression.”
A Call to Action for the Fashion Industry
DIESEL❤VES TIMBERLAND is more than just a collection; it’s a statement about the power of collaboration in addressing the environmental challenges faced by the fashion industry. Glenn Martens, Diesel’s creative director and the mastermind behind the DIESEL❤VES program, emphasizes the significance of such partnerships: “Even the smallest actions can have a significant impact. Two industry leaders are joining forces to tackle overconsumption and create something meaningful and beautiful together.”
By pooling resources and embracing a shared commitment to sustainability, Diesel and Timberland are setting a new standard for how brands can work together to create a better future.
Limited-Edition Capsule Launch
The DIESEL❤VES TIMBERLAND collection officially launches globally on January 22, 2024. The limited-edition shirts will be available in select Diesel and Timberland stores and on their respective websites, with a retail price of €250. With its exclusive nature and sustainable ethos, this capsule is sure to resonate with fashion enthusiasts and eco-conscious consumers alike.
