Tired of winning yet? The Guggenheim in New York isn’t. Earlier this week, the museum announced that a “courtside icon” from the New York Knicks’s NBA Finals run is coming its way.
Fashion designer Jordyn Brooks, who is also the fiancée of Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns, made a sample Tux Clutch Mini bag in orange to commemorate the Knicks playoff run. At the Finals, she carried the bag with her at every game except Game 3, due to Madison Square Garden’s “no-bag” policy that day. That game was the only one the Knicks lost.
“I made this sample for the playoffs,” Woods told NBC talk show Today with Jenna & Sheinelle earlier this month. “I started wearing it, we won the game and it became a superstition.”
In a video that went viral, Towns can be heard talking about the bag after the NBA Finals victory, saying that the bag has to go in “the Whitney or the Guggenheim.” Well, in an Instagram post earlier this week, the Guggenheim announced the handbag will go on view at the museum as of Wednesday.
