SHA1 fell out of favor long before any collision was found -- it fell out of favor in 2012 or even earlier, when it was clear that one will be found sooner than later.
FWIW, there is no publicly known SHA1 collision yet. There's a known freestart collision, and a real world (non-freestart) collision is expected to be found within the next couple of months by the same group (the search is already running on their cluster - and the expected time to success is a couple of months). They have already found the first pair that they need out of two.
