In celebration of the success of 'Astroworld: Wish You Were Here' at The Forum in Los Angeles, popular contemporary streetwear retailer Dover Street Market launches limited edition Travis Scott merch. The clothing range boasts a number of tees, a tie-dyed hoodie, and some pieces from Cactus Jack — the rapper's record label and his adopted nickname.
The Dover Street Market x Travis Scott merch features pieces that subscribe to the popular DIY aesthetic. This is communicated through the unique patterns of the tie-dyed fabrics, as well as the playfully hand-drawn graphics that boast slogans like 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Where We Goin?' — clear references to the rappers' album.
The collab is celebrated by Dover Street Market LA through a temporary installation that displays the Travis Scott merch in an artful manner and surely draws the attention of the streetwear community with its expressiveness.
