Another Travis Scott endorsement has been put on hold in the wake of the Astroworld Festival tragedy.
Dior announced Tuesday that it has indefinitely postponed its capsule collection collaboration between its men’s artistic director Kim Jones and Scott’s Cactus Jack line, which was slated to launch in January.
“Out of respect for everyone affected by the tragic events at Astroworld, Dior has decided to postpone indefinitely the launch of products from the Cactus Jack collaboration originally intended to be included in its summer 2022 collection,” the luxury fashion house said in a statement to Women’s Wear Daily.
Scott’s team told WWD that he and Dior mutually decided to postpone the collection’s launch. It would have marked the first time Dior partnered with a musician on a collection.
Dior is the latest brand to press pause on a collaboration with the “Franchise’ rapper.
Nike announced on November 16 that it was postponing the launch of Scott’s Baroque Brown and Saturn Gold Air Max 1 X Cactus Jack sneakers. On December 11, Anheuser-Busch revealed that it will no longer distribute Scott’s Cacti Agave Spiked Seltzer.
Ten people died at Astroworld from compression asphyxia after crowds rushed the stage at the NPG Park in Houston on November 5. Scott organized the event and was the headliner.
