This collaboration was intended for the fashion house’s 2022 summer collection.
In light of the tragic events at the annual Astroworld festival, Travis Scott has put another of his lucrative partnerships on hold. On Tuesday, December 28, fashion house Dior announced that it is ending its collaboration with Travis Scott.
Dior has informed WWD that it has decided to indefinitely postpone the launch of products from its Cactus Jack collaboration. This decision was made out of compassion for all those affected by the terrible events at Astroworld. The publication was also informed by his team that the decision not to launch the product was mutual.
Astrowold saw ten people die after crowds ran onto the stage. The Houston County Medical Examiner’s Office later determined that the cause of death of the victims was compression asphyxia. The youngest victim was nine years old. Hundreds were injured during the incident.
Scott is currently working closely with officials to standardize safety procedures at festivals across the United States following the tragic incident. The rapper spoke repeatedly about safety in his first post-Astroworld interview, which he did on Dec. 9 with Charlamagne Tha God. He seemed to be shifting the blame. “As an artist, it’s all about being creative. This was my festival. I had the opportunity to bring in artists and produce creatively. Scott stated that we trust professionals to make sure people are safe and well taken care of.” “I can’t control what I do on stage. Let the professionals manage what happens in the audience.”
Dior stopped Scott’s projects as well as ties with the brand. Nike planned to launch a collection featuring the 30-year-old rapper on Air Max 1 shoes in “Baroque Brown” and “Saturn Gold.” However, the launch was postponed to November 16, after Astroworld. The company released a statement via SNKRS and Nike’s website saying they have delayed the launch of the Air Max 1x Cactus Jack “out of respect for everyone affected by the tragic events at Astroworld Festival.”
