Louis Vuitton has turned a traditional Kurdish shepherd’s garment into high fashion.
The distinctive felted outer garment, traditionally made and worn by Kurdish shepherds to protect against the harsh mountain climate, appears remarkably close to the garment presented in Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection.
Yet there is no acknowledgment of its Kurdish origins.
Why should a garment developed and preserved by Kurdish communities be presented as a luxury-fashion creation without crediting the culture it comes from?

Why is Kurdistan under attack?
In this show, we examine Iran’s future, Trump’s call to Kurdish leaders, the strategy of Iranian Kurdish forces, and whether a ground invasion could be next — with five guests.
The world needs to witness this historical absurdity: Until late 2024, the U.S. maintained a $10 million bounty on Ahmad al-Jolani’s head. Today, as President of Syria, he is welcomed with red carpets and diplomatic honors in Europe.
While the West toasts him, the Global Coalition against Daesh—now 90 members strong—continues its 'work' to defeat extremism. The irony is total: the Coalition has effectively sidelined its mission while Jolani's state imposes a governance style that mirrors the very brutality they claim to fight.
When a man who led Al-Qaeda's Syrian wing and enforces an ISIS-style rule becomes a 'Guest of Honor,' the Global Coalition is no longer a security alliance—it is a symbol of geopolitical meaninglessness. This is the surreal new world we live in. #IranWar #Syria
Why should the West ban the Grey Wolves?
France has already outlawed this group for its "extreme violence," and the EU Parliament has urged all member states to follow suit. Yet, they continue to operate across the West.
They are not just a “cultural club,” but an ultranationalist movement linked to decades of intimidation and attacks on dissidents in the West. Democracies in Europe and the US should not give space to groups that export fear and violence under the cover of activism. 🐺🚫

While Turkic ancestors were still nomadic on the Asian steppes, Kurdish roots were already being carved into stone in Anatolia. These 3,400-year-old Luwian hieroglyphs from Anatolia, reveal a direct linguistic link to modern Kurdish. A century-old state name of Turkey cannot overwrite the indigenous history of Anatolia and Mesopotamia.

The distorted Mercator map on the right persists because it comforts old beliefs and makes colonial powers look larger. History was mapped with the same bias.
In the 1920s, colonial powers erased Kurdistan from the map—its history nearly followed. My 2013 research showed Indo-European languages originated there; in 2023, the Max Planck Institute reached similar conclusions but called it the "Northern Arc" to avoid naming the region: https://t.co/ZDrjktmUwc
My new book argues Kurdish is the modern evolution of Sumerian—the world's first written language—yet it's still labeled a "dead isolate." The truth threatens ancient history's foundations.
