I think you read too far into it. The shirt's probably just a take on society as a whole. We're self-destructive etc, and so much so, that we literally killed the son of God. It's tragic irony. A parable. PLEASE NOTE: In some European countries you may be asked to pay a surcharge to receive your parcel. The Kill Your Idols brand's signature material is leather.

Now we want to introduce to the world traditional Turkish ‘efe’ boots," he said. So, sure, it can directly be about religious idols, but in a broader sense, it's about not building anyone or anything up in your own head. That’s why we are trying to modernize this footwear item by interpreting its traditional form to fit our style and needs of modern life. We want to make it wearable," he said.

As for his training, there is almost no art form or discipline he has not tried his hand at: drawing, fashion, cinema, Turkish fine arts, Islamic calligraphy – a few years with one and a few months immersed in another.There aren’t many artisans who can do what they’re doing, and new apprentices or assistant masters aren’t being trained,” he said. Becoming a master in this craft takes 30 years, which is one of the main reasons why people don't learn the trade anymore.

These boots are vastly different from the classic western style sported by John Wayne, and are known by the Turks as “körüklü çizme,” hailing from the western province of Aydın. This type of bellowed boot is known for being worn by Turkish warriors called “efe” (also called “zeybek” in the Aegean or “seğmen” in Central Anatolia) and have an accordion-like shape around the ankles. The folded leather, mostly three to seven folds, not only gives more agility to the wearer, which were usually horsemen or fighters and nowadays folk dancers, but it also allows the feet to breathe. Of course, just by looking at its purpose of creation and the era, you can imagine how tough and durable this footwear must have been.

If you look at the clothes we wear today, you’ll see none of us is wearing traditional Turkish clothes, let alone those inspired by them.But the creative side of things is nothing compared to keeping the business afloat and drawing in investors. To be able to continue doing what you do, you need money – it's a business after all. In Japan or India, for example, you can see they try their utmost to preserve their traditional clothes and culture, said Yazıcı. They may not wear them daily, but during certain times of the year and during certain events these clothes take center stage, and the world identifies these garments with that culture. Unfortunately, owing to the costs of using high-quality leather and employing master artisans – of which there are only three in the world, located in the Aegean town of Söke – the products are pricier than most. Everyone has an idea of what their world is and how it should be. That's their "illusion." You can use that illusion to progress in life to a point, but at some point, something is going to happen to shatter that illusion. You'll see the world for how it really is and you will become "disillusioned." You'll have depression and anger. That's why it's important to not try to build your own expectations up too high or become complacent with how things are going in your life. You should "lose your illusions."
