Kill Your Idols Shirt

Product Information

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.

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.On one hand, we are telling people to kill their idols and stop putting them on a pedestal but on the other, we’re also using icons to make a statement. There’s also irony in the fact that we’ve come to be known for our cowboy boots, which is an item of Western culture, but we preach about embracing your own,” he said. Some brands have one product that puts them on the fashion map. For French label Isabel Marant, it was wedge sneakers. For Kill Your Idols, it was western cowboy boots. This has especially rung true for their popularity in Turkey. 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. 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.

This our main concept: We deal with pop culture; our themes are centered around music, art and cinema. We get inspired by song lyrics, local or foreign musicians, directors. Whatever we are into at that moment could become the new muse for our designs," he said, though he adds: Inspiration doesn't strike often. As a brand, it's important to have your own distinctive style and details that make you 'you.' People should be able to look at your design and say 'Ahh, this is Kill Your Idols.' You should not be doing everything that is on trend, you need to have boundaries," said Yazıcı.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. 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." This spurred a profound shift in the brand’s products and now, Yazıcı said, he has found a way to practice what he preaches.
