Travis Barker sprays champagne to celebrate Kourtney Kardashian's Boohoo collaboration

Travis Barker celebrated the launch of wife Kourtney Kardashian's collaboration with fashion brand Boohoo by spraying a bottle of champagne on Tuesday.

The Blink 182 drummer took to Instagram to share a video of himself marking the occasion, which sees Kourtney team up with the clothing brand as a sustainability ambassador.

The video was followed by an image of reality star Kourtney drinking the bubbly straight from the bottle after she had been handed a stunning bouquet of grand prix roses.

A further video, meanwhile, showed the pair walking in hand-in-hand down the designer's catwalk.

Kourtney, 43, had been the subject of a huge backlash after news of the collaboration was first revealed due to the perceived link between the reality star's practices and sustainability.

Discussing the collaboration on her own Instagram account, Kourtney wrote: "I went back and forth about doing this collection with @boohoo because the first thing I think about when I hear the words "fast fashion" is that it's bad for our planet.

"Boohoo approached me to be a sustainability ambassador, and though I knew it would get backlash because the two just don't go hand in hand, I thought about the fact that fast fashion, or the fashion industry in general, isn’t going anywhere. I thought about the attention this collaboration would bring to people who may otherwise have no idea about the impacts of fast fashion on our planet. I thought about how pushing Boohoo to make some initial changes and then holding them accountable to larger change would be impactful. It’s definitely making some noise which is exactly what I was hoping for.

"I certainly don't have all the answers, but for someone who has done a fast fashion line collaboration in the past, which didn't get backlash because I was not calling attention to trying to make better changes, I feel proud about doing it with intention and purpose."

The reality star, who married Travis in Italy earlier this year, laid down a challenge for "experts" to reach out to her.

She continued: "I invite any experts who have ideas, suggestions ( I have already seen some of you and will absolutely be reaching out to talk and learn more) to reach out. I want to help and from my experience so far working with the team I work with at Boohoo, they do too.

"I will be elaborating on their changes, how we’ve made this line more sustainable, and what I’ve learned we as consumers can do to help… all to come!!"

The Kardashians star had originally announced her collaboration with Boohoo in a statement last week.
