Swift & Haim Sisters' DIY Knicks Shirts Go Viral
23 Jun
Summary
- Taylor Swift conceived the idea for custom Knicks shirts.
- Alana Haim crafted the unique pop culture pun t-shirts.
- Nicole Kidman shared a photo of the friends on social media.
Este Haim has offered more insight into the custom New York Knicks T-shirts worn by herself, Taylor Swift, and Alana Haim at Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 10. Swift, according to Este, was the mastermind behind the creative concept for the DIY shirts, which featured clever pop culture puns. Alana Haim then brought these ideas to life with her screen-printing skills.
Este recalled a specific "campaign" the friends had about their admiration for Nicole Kidman, which inspired her "Knickole Kidman" shirt. Swift wore a "Stevie Knicks" shirt, a nod to Stevie Nicks, while Alana sported a "Knickleback" tee. The unique shirts quickly captured public attention.
Nicole Kidman herself acknowledged the trio's tribute, sharing a photo of them on the jumbotron to her Instagram Stories. She also reposted a video of the friends singing along to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Alana confirmed she created the shirts, noting she sourced the blank Gildan tees from Michaels for $2.99 each and used Speedball screen-printing ink.
Alana described making shirts for her friends as a "creative outlet" and mentioned having a home setup with a Cricut machine. Swift had directly requested a "Stevie Knicks" shirt, which Alana happily accommodated, viewing it as a "dream" opportunity. The friends aimed to create a fun and humorous experience for themselves and others by wearing the custom tees to the game.
