Every musician needs a fashion collaboration these days, and apparently Travis Scott’s may debut in February.

“I just saw the samples—​fucking crazy,” he told Paper Magazine for their new cover story. "I'm happy that this company took a chance with me."

Scott—​who wears Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and more for the accompanying editorial while rolling a blunt and swinging on a ladder—​stops short of naming the actual brand with which he's partnering. While we could see Scott land a deal with a company like Puma—​where his rumored former girl Rihanna is creative director and he's already appeared in ads—​​or Alexander Wang—​​where he helicoptered in to the designer’s latest after party and has fronted a campaign for them before—​​looks like we'll have to wait to find out for sure, like everyone else. Before then, you can also catch Scott at ComplexCon November 5 and 6.

The fashion project is one of a few that fans can expect from La Flame in the near future. He tells Paper he also has a short film out soon that will walk viewers through the creation of Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight. As the album itself features Bryson Tiller, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, and Andre 3000, we can expect at least some pretty big cameos. "I look at them as the best artists, so for them to come to my world and rap with me is crazy,” Scott told the magazine. Sadly for him, though, he didn’t get his biggest source of inspiration, Kid Cudi, on the project.

"He was like the guy that could rap, make a hook, and make a beat, and do a video, and show you the life," Scott said of Cudi. "That's what I strive to be."
