My father is an archaeologist specialized in Egypt, India, China and South America and he looks nothing like her husband. I have met dozens of egyptologists and not a single person looks like them , also not a single one of them has ever heard about her or her husband so i guess they are not that good in their field. I can tell you one thing though, if they showed up at an egyptologist convention looking like that, this would be the laughing stock of the century ! Imagine a medical doctor arriving at a pediatric hospital dressed like Mengele and you'll get the idea !
@@morganolfursson2560 Then your father must not be good in the field because I've never heard of him. She has done her fair share of work and I'm going to assume its unlikely that one person is going to know about every single Egyptologist. and assuming this was an actual professional convention, literally no one who is sane would care about how she dressed. Of course this is assuming a level of maturity on the people that might not be there.
This woman is living my dream life. I wanted to be an egyptologist soooo bad when I was a teenager but my family convinced me I would never be able to find work in my field so I dropped the idea. I'm 40yo now and it's one of my biggest regret in life.
My mom changed professions when she was 50yo, and studied for 2years, to the job she always wanted to do, so much inspiration from her that’s it never to late ☺️
I’m failing to understand why people are patronising her saying “bored rich people” or “to be wealthy” etc. Archaeologists aren’t exactly high earners, just because you are into vintage and choose to spend your money on a particular fashion does not mean you’re rich and bored. She is not bored, she contributes to education and discovery every single day in a super fascinating career which she loves and yet there are so many uneducated and angry assumptions. Do your research before choosing to just jump to silly conclusions.
No need for you to be patronising either. Our family has archeoligst friends and they don't make that much compared to other professions however anybody can live and spend lavishly if they prioritise properly and are smart about their spending without kids or serious financial obligation. My issue was just people having an issue with how she spends her money and just assuming she's wealthy. You cannot always tell. I was a poor student and still am struggling but because of careful prioritising I am able to still live beyond my means and have nice things.
It was not meant to be smug, I am not the one judging her calling her a rich and bored person or judging her at all like everyone else in this section. People were being patronising towards her and my argument was that she may not be rich at all but that is besides the entire point, people are so quick to judge and I know plenty of people who do live beyond their means by being smart with their money. My statements are from my own experience and I am entitled to my opinion just as you are yours but you really should be able to discuss without personal insults. My grandparents had absolutely nothing when they came to this country, they worked their asses off and prioritised properly to the point they could spend lavishly and I personally know many people just like them who did the same thing. Perhaps not EVERY single person but I didn't mean for my words to mean the entire globe taken to the extreme technicalities including North Korea but generally in the western world where people have the freedom to make something out of nothing. There are exceptions to every rule but it does not invalidate my argument.
Her clothes are probably fairly affordable in the long run. She's a smaller size, which have a longer shelf life in thrift stores. Good materials last longer. And there are vintage hobbyists who trade and support each other from all walks of life. Her husband's clothes are likely custom, though. And custom men's tailoring is ridiculously expensive.
@@338holly exactly! When you love something you collect for it and spend more. Like i'm not rich but expensive art supplies are probably the only thing i'm gonna spend my money on
I was expecting a huskier, deeper voice. That being said, her voice is absolutely adorable, I love how passionate she is about her work, and how regal and elegant she looks.
Ive never seen someone fit the 1920's style as well as she does. Id love to see more content from her, she's so well spoken and has such an engaging voice!
The level of class and sophistication of this woman astonishes me and I love how supportive and in sync her husband is. What a lovely couple. So utterly interesting
My art teacher was also an Egyptologist! When I met her she was already in her 70's I believe but she taught ancient egyptian art and culture so well because she had done it all her life
Absolutely beautiful! The way she expresses herself, such elegance and intelligence. Who wouldn't want to be around her and soak in what she has to say. Lucky students!
Didn't expect a video like this to be so nasty in the comments over a woman choosing to dress a certain way (it's suuuuper creepy to try and dictate what somebody can and can't wear, pal) Stay mad ig
I first watched her from Lost Treasures of Egypt series and her expertise is astonishing. I have much respect to her after watching more about her life. It’s great to watch her just being true to herself just like other Egyptologist’s passion of their work do.
I've watched her in numerous videos because I am fascinated by the antiquities of Egypt. She is always dressed beautifully and carries herself with style, class and grace.
I love this. I wish it was more popular to dress from a different era. All those comments about "imperialism" or "colonialism" are missing the point. A flapper didnt colonize Egypt, her job is studying the ancient world, it's so intellectually dishonest to link the two, completely twisting the point of this video. She's not doing it to relive the past, especially the negative things, she's embracing vintage fashion and her work. That life is a dream to live in where my job is part of my aesthetic.
From the clothes I have seen from the era in East and North East Africa of that time, the clothes featured are what the colonialist females would wear. Calling her a flapper, and therefore innocent of it all, is like saying that there were no colonialist men who were dandies! The colonialist brought their wives with them. Karen Blixen, the Danish writer in Kenya, was also a sharp dresser, another flapper in Africa: i.pinimg.com/originals/a8/a1/22/a8a122a3b3e85b7f4e57c2e73823ab7a.jpg
Either way, its fashion. All these comments are calling her out for a stylistic choice and its bullshit. Its irritating as hell to see such a unique style torn down by virtue signaling, like all these comments about "white people playing dress up." That's what has me so mad.
That Goth Nerd Girl but fashion can be political too. You can't just look at it without any context. Egyptologists from the 20ies basically robbed the Egyptians of their most valuable artefacts. This shouldn't have been "Finders keepers".
Gorgeous.. I love it!! I have many pieces of wearable art from the 30's to 50's.. love when my adult son puts on his best to accompany me to our traditional Christmas dinner.. this year his newlywed wife gets to experience our "keep history alive" fine dining.. and I took her vintage shopping for cocktail dress, she found a 1930's beaded beauty.. it will be fun!!
Fellow vintage lover/collector here and it is AMAZING how often people will share beautiful things with you just because they want someone to enjoy it and use it. We are all just caretakers of these treasures!
So inspiring! I always wanted to be an Egyptologist (like Amelia Peabody) when I was younger. I ended up with a History degree and then got a job in the Design world. I get it. I have vintage pieces from the 40's 50's 60's and I just LOVE them so so much.
I love people like this! Individuals who LIVE through their fashion in daily life. Instead of wearing an article of clothing just because... this is true art, fashion and style in its most effortless form. Everyone should live like this.
she is flat and skinny enough to pull off the flapper look.. granted, larger women can do it too.. but the main look was tube shaped dress and thin flat chested, so beaded necklace can fall straight in front. she pulls it off nicely.
I assume she's also wearing era appropriate undergarments, which generally give much less support than modern ones or the corsets before them. Most people would probably see a drop in perceived size if they did the same, though I do agree that her figure compliments the style.
@@_lime. Absolutely not. Unless you are thin and tall and almost boyish, the flapper look will add bulk to you. You can be thin-ish and short and it will look crap. Its a very very very hard look to pull off and look elegant instead of frumpy.
Ugh! 😍She is living my dream. I wanted to be an Egyptologist since I was a little girl. I am in love with the 1920' s (the fashion and all) I have always wished I could have lived in that time. She is absolutely beautiful and chic. She is all I dreamed to be in terms of profession and style 😍🙌👏
She is so lovely, in mannerisms and style! On a funnier note she reminds me a bit of one of the villains from Indiana Jones.... I think the movie was the crystal skull but I don't fully recall, I just remember the hairstyle lol
The lady looks stunning in the vintage clothing! Her figure is perfect for the 1920s look! I love vintage fashions, but to get the look - I'd need to lose about 42lb!
Did she ever clear her name with all the the problems she and her colleges were facing due to the unethical treatment of her graduate students from the Egyptology program...
Its making me sick how this video is portraying her and naive people in the comments addressing her as a queen, but she is the exact opposite. This woman ventured into an affair she had with a Yale colleague which caused a divorce as well as continuing that affair which caused many problems in the program with the treatment of her own graduate students at the egyptology program. Girl, link to all the tea. Please dont hype this women up. yalealumnimagazine.com/blog_posts/1319 I cant find the other one about the unethical treatment of her graduate students, I dont know where I found it, anyways I dont think she's a person to put on a pedastool.
I think its great that people teach history using visuals of any kind. I would love to have middle ages or reinassance clothing for myself, I've dreamt of that forever now, Someday I would afford it :)
The style of the 1920s was inspired by Egypt, due to the discovery of King Tut's tomb. Egypt was revered in the 20s, particularly the Art Deco aesthetic.
Allow me: Howard Carter discovered King Tut's tomb in 1922 (this was mentioned in the video) and the 19th amendment gave way for women to study Egyptology during that era, the beginning of the feminist movement. People would have been wearing clothes similar to what she has displayed in the video during the excavation of the tomb. Not to mention, art deco was inspired by the discoveries in Egypt, which played a role in developing fashion motifs during the 20s era.
I thought Howard Carter was British and that the feminist movement as we know it, started in many parts of Europe long before 1922? Karen Blixen, the Danish writer in Kenya, wore clothes just like these from the photos I have seen of her.
What a lovely way to bring the past to the current era. I'm glad she can incorporate her passion into her life and career. She seems like a lovely person.
I wonder what she thinks of the contradictions between studying Egyptology and (in a way) romanticising the 1920s/30s/40s though fashion? As an ancient history student we are constantly being told to be skeptical of the scholarship that came before us, and this is especially true in Egyptology, where from the 1800s to the 1960s the field was plagued with racist and colonialist ideals. What does she think about those past scholars and their questionable methods and beliefs when she is also trying to emulate their style? Can she effectively critique Howard Carter's not great archeological methods whilst also adoring the time period he represents? I would love to know what she thinks about this!
This is pretty legit. You can like the clothes if the past without admiring the negative aspects. But oftentimes, romanticization if the past does occur when this happens. I know so as someone into ancient styles myself. I wonder what her opinions are, as you do.
Shim Novak I don't think that's what op meant. I dress vintage but I don't glorify an entire time period, especially one plagued Ith imperialism and colonialism....she did seem to glorify the era without even mentioning that she didn't really support the actual lifestyle and what Egyptology was really like in the 20s.
Why so much hate? She found a style and time period that suits her and her husband's aesthetic. Also, the way she dresses doesn't have to have anything to do with her profession as an egyptologist - but it is worth mentioning that egyptology, and just Egypt in general, was incredibly popular in the early 20th century, so there actually is a link, and an influence, between that and the fashions of the time. She is not dressing to please any of us, I'm sure.
yalealumnimagazine.com/blog_posts/1319 She was sleeping with her professor whilst she attended Yale; then when they were colleagues, he vouched on her behalf for a promotion (whilst still seeing each other) When their affair became public, Yale's Egyptology program was cut back, impacting current & future students. That's why people are upset.
As an archaeology major who've done several excavations, I think what she meant by "excavating" was only visiting the sites and not the actual digging lmao I think the vintage clothes would be too inconvenient, not to mention you'd damaged the old material as well js
To be fair, do academics do any actual digging? Aren't they essentially managing the dig sites, cataloging finds, etc., while a team of laborers does the actual digging? I don't know anything about the area, just wondering. Seems what'd make more sense. Indiana Jones and Lara Croft aren't exactly real life.
@@BathroomTile Archaeology major here too and according to my Archaeological Methods professor, it depends, mostly on where you're digging. Here where I live, in Guatemala, you tend to use hired help mostly because a) it's cheap and b) the locals tend to be seasoned looters, so better put that experience to good use instead of letting them run wild at the sites. In other parts of the world, where labor costs are higher, archaeologists tend to do the dirty work themselves because, well, projects tends to be strapped for cash as it is, may as well take advantage of the workforce that's already on the payroll. Plus, I hear using hired help has a bit of a stigma these days as it is associated with the older more colonialist periods of archaeology's history.
Wow finally an old soul❤️ if I had lots of money I would buy an island make a cityor a town and it all had to be vintage the food clothing housing vehicles
She is fabulous and what a figure...I dated a girl who dressed vintage and she always looked fantastic....less modern clothes and more of this...wonderful!!
I always thought I was a 1940s kinda girl and never thought much of the 20s but seeing how stunning she looks in 20s fashion may make me change my mind
After watching this viedo . Only one woman comes to mind ... Gabrielle coco chanel. She is the frist and only woman that allowed women to move freely in clothes. Chanel has changed so many things that we use today . Thats the power of chanel . Siempre viva chanel
SniperRose no no sniper rose i am no way saying this woman is chanel . I am saying that since this woman can move in clothing of vintage fashion is thanks of the works of mademoiselle chanel . I dont even know this woman
She has a perfect body and face for the 1920's style.
She is archetypal of what I have seen in vintage photos.
The bowl cut looks a little weird honestly, her face is to long and narrow for that hairstyle.
Legio XCII Corvus ⲟⲩⲱⲛϣ I feel like she looks stunning in it. Her hair compliments her face.

@@legioxciicorvus5917 but thats why it suits her.. In she were in 1920s now she would be a magazine material

As an ancient history student we are constantly being told to be skeptical of the scholarship that came before us, and this is especially true in Egyptology, where from the 1800s to the 1960s the field was plagued with racist and colonialist ideals. What does she think about those past scholars and their questionable methods and beliefs when she is also trying to emulate their style? Can she effectively critique Howard Carter's not great archeological methods whilst also adoring the time period he represents? I would love to know what she thinks about this!
Sabrina Kirby If you dress like 2018 then you're ok with all the injustice of 2018 too?
This is pretty legit. You can like the clothes if the past without admiring the negative aspects. But oftentimes, romanticization if the past does occur when this happens. I know so as someone into ancient styles myself. I wonder what her opinions are, as you do.
I was thinking that too
Shim Novak I don't think that's what op meant. I dress vintage but I don't glorify an entire time period, especially one plagued Ith imperialism and colonialism....she did seem to glorify the era without even mentioning that she didn't really support the actual lifestyle and what Egyptology was really like in the 20s.
finally a good comment. i wonder if she ever read said's orientalism.
She looks like she came directly from a movie. I love it. From her hair, clothes and hairstyle, to her body, height, skin color.... I love it so bad
She is definitely frozen in time type of beauty. 💜
and it look stunning! all of the clothes look so elegant and effortlessly stylish on one's body.
Why so much hate? She found a style and time period that suits her and her husband's aesthetic. Also, the way she dresses doesn't have to have anything to do with her profession as an egyptologist - but it is worth mentioning that egyptology, and just Egypt in general, was incredibly popular in the early 20th century, so there actually is a link, and an influence, between that and the fashions of the time. She is not dressing to please any of us, I'm sure.
It reflects people's negativity and pent up frustration.

She was sleeping with her professor whilst she attended Yale; then when they were colleagues, he vouched on her behalf for a promotion (whilst still seeing each other) When their affair became public, Yale's Egyptology program was cut back, impacting current & future students. That's why people are upset.
Living the dream! They are a fantastic couple...so cool!!!
This is giving me Poirots Death on the Nile vibes.
She honestly looks beautiful and her Instagram pics are amazing
As an archaeology major who've done several excavations, I think what she meant by "excavating" was only visiting the sites and not the actual digging lmao I think the vintage clothes would be too inconvenient, not to mention you'd damaged the old material as well js
To be fair, do academics do any actual digging? Aren't they essentially managing the dig sites, cataloging finds, etc., while a team of laborers does the actual digging? I don't know anything about the area, just wondering. Seems what'd make more sense. Indiana Jones and Lara Croft aren't exactly real life.
@@BathroomTile Archaeology major here too and according to my Archaeological Methods professor, it depends, mostly on where you're digging. Here where I live, in Guatemala, you tend to use hired help mostly because a) it's cheap and b) the locals tend to be seasoned looters, so better put that experience to good use instead of letting them run wild at the sites. In other parts of the world, where labor costs are higher, archaeologists tend to do the dirty work themselves because, well, projects tends to be strapped for cash as it is, may as well take advantage of the workforce that's already on the payroll. Plus, I hear using hired help has a bit of a stigma these days as it is associated with the older more colonialist periods of archaeology's history.
@@BathroomTile Where I live (an European country), we archaeologists do the dirty work ourselves.
@@jaceladag Great answer! It applies to practices on some European dig sites as well.
She rocks the look. Very elegant!
theres is only one life to live enjoy it while you still can
oh god, she is so inspiring! i love her energy, her knowledge, her uniqueness!
Wow finally an old soul❤️ if I had lots of money I would buy an island make a cityor a town and it all had to be vintage the food clothing housing vehicles
Particular year for your fictional town? (Vintage as a term is SUPER broad). Or like, nothing from after 1950 sort of thing?
She is fabulous and what a figure...I dated a girl who dressed vintage and she always looked fantastic....less modern clothes and more of this...wonderful!!
that's me in 20 years I am just reading biography of ankenatum and nefertiti and I am so happy 😂
I really love how well she puts together her outfits, would love to see more of her wardrobe
I don't get the relation between vintage fashion and ancient egypt????
Should there be a link between them ?
All things Egypt was all the rage during the 1920s.
Larah Kay the way she dressed while going on excavations in Eygpt was reminiscent of what the colonial masters of Eygpt wore back then.
Larah Kay shes just a egyptologist by coincidence. She admires vintage fashion and incorporates it into her work.
Some of the biggest discoveries of Egypt happened in that era. The whole world was fascinated by Ancient Egypt back then. So that's the connection.
I always thought I was a 1940s kinda girl and never thought much of the 20s but seeing how stunning she looks in 20s fashion may make me change my mind
Everyone conform to this way of living. I demand it.
Yes !
@Kai Evans of course not, but vintage clothing is awesome, and it gives archaeology a sense of wonder and adventure
Glad u can bring bk Beauty the way it was.
This is exactly how I imagine an Egyptologist looks.
Two very true and pure people. Beautifull.
So she is basically Egypt Otaku with an interest in cosplaying. I can respect that.
She is pure glamour!
She's a lovely lady, I'd enjoy dressing with such elegance.
Lovely. The 1920's is one of my favorite 20th decade for women's fashion along with the 1940's.
I wear semi vintage stuff, I call it "Hand-me-downs"... It's all the rage everywhere except where I live.
I Love her style .....the message of her way of clothing ....😊
My name is Colleen, I love history (archaeology and Egypt specifically too!) and I also love vintage clothing ????? are we the same person
She is sooo beautiful 😍😍😍😍
She is literally everything I wish to be when I’m older omds
SHE IS SUCH AN ICON.
After watching this viedo . Only one woman comes to mind ... Gabrielle coco chanel. She is the frist and only woman that allowed women to move freely in clothes. Chanel has changed so many things that we use today . Thats the power of chanel . Siempre viva chanel
Ainsley Ameerali comparing this homewrecker to Chanel. Disgusting
SniperRose no no sniper rose i am no way saying this woman is chanel . I am saying that since this woman can move in clothing of vintage fashion is thanks of the works of mademoiselle chanel . I dont even know this woman
@@SniperRose1 Chanel was also in bed with the Nazis always looking out only for herself so I wouldn't say she's that much better than Colleen lol
Great Gatsby - Jordan Baker, its definitely her !
I expected her to sound British or to sound like Cate Blanchett at least
Her voice doesnt match her somehow
Did you expect her to have a russian accent? :P
Joe Benz YOU GOT IT
I could have swore she was british.
She's American
Louise Brooks was an American. Look her up
I've seen her in Egyptian documentaries and she stole the show. Love her style
She’s so iconic and classy.
I’m going to wear vintage clothes as well and to hell with those who say nay.
