The collection takes a genderless approach to design and it focuses on styles that are long-lasting and evergreen. The debut collection from [creative director Glenn Martens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) is set to feature items like trousers, jackets, tops, and skirts. According to the brand, about 50% of the denim collection is set to have a permanent shelf life. Pieces from the Diesel Library will be mindfully made with fibers, washes and treatments that have been chosen for being environmentally friendly, low-impact and conservative with their use of resources. Within the collections, fans can expect to find metal buttons without galvanized treatments, inner labels made from recycled materials and hangtags made with [FSC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renovo-gift-card) certified materials. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Genderless Design:** Fashion brands can explore gender neutral design for sustainable and evergreen fashion collections. - **Eco-friendly Denim:** Eco-conscious fashion brands can explore the use of sustainable fibers and low-impact washes and treatments for eco-friendly denim collections. - **Permanent Shelf Life:** Fashion brands can innovate by creating evergreen collections with a focus on items that have a permanent shelf life to minimize waste and increase sustainability. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate sustainable and eco-friendly practices and explore genderless designs for a more sustainable future. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturing companies can focus on producing sustainable fibers and adopting low-impact washes and treatments for a more eco-friendly denim production process. - **Sustainability Consulting:** Sustainability consulting firms can help fashion brands and textile manufacturers implement sustainable practices, from choosing materials to developing evergreen collections, to reduce their environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Co-Branded Bespoke Denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dieseloveslee.md) - [Eco-Conscious Denim Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-jeans.md) - [Sustainable Kids Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidly.md) - [Eco-Minded Denim Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bayeas.md) - [Artistic Contemporary Footwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melissa-x-diesel.md) - [Sustainable Stonewashed Denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guess-airwash.md) - [Eco-Friendly Denim Dyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-dye.md) - [Relaxed Autumn Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-2025-denim-collection.md) - [Nature-Inspired Denim Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2025-denim-collection.md)
