Who’s ready for the Travis Scott x Ksubi capsule? The collab is set to hit shelves Oct 12. <\/p>\nWho’s ready for the Travis Scott x Ksubi capsule? The collab is set to hit shelves Oct 12. <\/p>\n
“I\u2019ve been wearing Ksubi since before the opportunity came to collaborate,\u201d Trav told Vogue of the collaboration. \u201cThat shit is dope. Dumb crazy. It makes you feel like you\u2019re in an action movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since the brand released 252 rats onto the Sydney runway for shock factor at their first fashion show back in 2001, the 17-year-old denim line–which has fostered a loyal rapper following in recent years with avid wearers like The Weeknd –has always been into doing things differently, and this collaboration is no exception.<\/p>\n
As his first capsule collection and a desire to “really deconstruct this shit,” Travis’ line is a tattered approach with vigorous nods to his hometown of Houston, Texas. There’s baggy, shredded jeans with torn up double pockets, tees with a hand-drawn eagle (Scott’s symbol) on the chest and sketched-out skulls with Ksubi’s boxed cross on the front of others, nylon bombers and hoodies accented with moth-eaten style holes.<\/p>\n
\u201cDistressed jeans are a sign you\u2019ve been through some shit, more so than a clean jean,\u201d Travis shared. \u201cI just wanted to keep it Texas culture\u2014just real simple. Ready-to-wear dope shit. I just drew on the shit. Just fucking around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, this isn’t the first designer collaboration Scott has done. Earlier this year he launched his freshman Helmut Lang collection alongside new creative director Shane Oliver (formerly of street brand Hood By Air aka HBA).<\/p>\n
\u201cCertain brands cater to the culture,\u201d Travis says. \u201cSometimes clothes make it through generations of artists, and it\u2019s just because the designer is designing to the time and the culture. That\u2019s what I think is dope about brands [like Ksubi]: It\u2019s dope when a brand can captivate what\u2019s going on with kids\u2014it\u2019s not out of touch. With or without me.\u201d<\/p>\n
