The only situation to do this is on an exam lol. Write a professional sounding answer and make it sound like you know what the hell you're talking about and hope for the best
Ironically, those Cut videos made me realize I had an interest in old fashion, which in turn sparked research and made me realize how bad those videos are
Same with me , i know use my drawing skills to make new concepts for old dresses or adds modern details to victorian skirts. Idk how i never realized it since i love modern fashion and i live for history.
That's like me with Memoirs of a Geisha. It got me to want to learn more about geisha and kimono, only to eventually learn what a historically inaccurate and problematic mess the book and movie are.
Same with me. I read Memoirs of a Geisha many years back. I was actually quite young, but wanted to read the ‘adult books’ to seem cool. I was given the impression That Geisha’s and we’re legitimately just women Who served as traditional sex workers. But now, I obviously see that it is completely different. Being a Geisha is an art form in itself. It requires a lot of discipline, hard work and dedication to be one.
i think it's really weird and bad when people try to "sexy-fy" things. if you are trying to show what the actual style is... you have to show the actual style, no matter how unflattering you think it is. it's not about your opinion, it's about whats accurate.
I was a teenager in the '80s. The color of the 80's dress was totally wrong. We did wear flower print dresses, but they were small calico type prints and colors were brighter and saturated jewel tones. As you talked about with the hats, it comes down to the details and not just *what* was worn, but *how* it was worn.
martialartess I lived in the American South for a year at the very end of the eighties (1989-1990). So many girls still wore those (mostly to church...), and they had these enormous lace collars, remember those? And the big hair! (Sorry, ozone layer...). Meanwhile in the Netherlands, we wore wide-legged jeans and chucks and sort-of cropped tops - one leg in the 90s already!
I seem to remember lots of big bright floral prints, and pastels. However, that was more for kids, and maybe some teens. Maybe prom dresses. But I do just remember big florals in general. Not just dresses.
Agree that that's definitely not an 80s dress. My wardrobe in the 80s was pink, turquoise, teal, purple, blue, grey... but not those yellows and browns. Everyone at the time would have turned their noses up at something that looked so "70s" in coloration. Also her hair wasn't big enough. I'm guessing the stylist or model didn't want to do all that backcombing we used to do.
Kiki I guess my experiences are just different. Yes, Jewel tones were big. Just something about those giant florals and puffy sleeves. I wouldn’t call it 1990s, though. No one would wear that in the 1990s.
@@sallyvillarreal4294 I agree that the cut of the dress is okay (and definitely not 90s). It's mostly the color that's wrong. I agree with the original poster that I don't remember big florals in the 80s either. Smaller floral patterns, yes. But mostly geometric shapes and big blocks of color.
Rencs lets just appreciate that this white chic is schooling other white chics on lace front wigs ant it’s got this black chic saying “”yyyaaaassss queen teach them about those lace fronts!!!!!”
Legends say you can bring her to the realm corporeal by putting a blonde wig on a white dress, turning on a fan, and saying "boop boop bee doop" three times
I noticed this alot in those videos and they also tend to follow stereotypes. After taking a film class and seeing a few movies from those eras (i.e not a historical fashion goddess like her) I cringe at the 1920s the most.
Lazy, yes. And pandering. As we've learned this year especially, Hollywood and the fashion industry and all the other chattering classes think we are stupid hicks and will fall for anything they throw our way.

"Sexy" in 2010 is completely different from "sexy" in 1952. Just because you think it's unflattering or even frumpy now doesn't mean it wasn't irresistible when it was in style. Fashion "historians" like Cut need to realise that.
Olive Oil Bernadette: *rips into your filthy Muggle soul with her on-brand fabric shears while educating you on your historical inaccuracies in a furious yet polite manner in your last few minutes until death*
I get really tired of only costumes, or costume-like outfits being the only thing a search engine pulls up when trying to find authentic twenties clothing.
Something ive never understood about companies like Cut and Buzzfeed and Glamour is that they refuse to hire anyone with knowledge or experience in the video theyre making. Like, they have the money! They have the resources! If they wana make quality videos why not put in a little more effort to (at the very least) have an expert vet their video before posting.
Because they are woke and I'm talking about people that call themselves feminist but they actively try to hurt men ...like there is literally whole post about feminist saying they wish they could kill their son because they are a man ...... And they hate anyone that has or used to have a penis and when I mean hate I mean they hate them like the kkk hates poc and gay people
@@goreandhoodies3626 This has nothing to do with feminists hating men lmao. Why tf are you bringing it here? Women's fashion is getting the short end of the stick in these videos. And they are sexualising styles that are not meant to be sexualized in the first place.
Listen. Sex is cool sometimes. But why do hair and makeup stylists for these videos always unnecessarily prioritize sexy over accuracy? It’s cheap, disconnected, cold-hearted to the subject matter, and confusing. My reaction is justified. “100 Years of ____ Fashion” is historical, therefore necessarily attracts a sentimental demographic. History is an emotional thing and studios should know what they are getting into.
XII Ikr! I’m all about people dressing how they want but during these times being showcased in the 100 years videos, you couldn’t dress the way you’d like to. So, making vintage sexy or whatever is inaccurate.
It is very much a sign of the times. Sex is over-prioritized in our media culture and they think what they're doing won't sell or have the audience they want (which is predominently very young people) interested in it if it looks - to their minds - alienatingly 'old' or fuddy-duddy. I think they underestimate people, to be honest. Yes, some people will 'ewww' at or have no interest in anything that isn't sold as sexy-hawt (when you realise the extent of sexy-hawt right now is limited to Kardashian butt surgery and drag-queen make-up and giant arses twerking - absolute pornographic crudeness that many find truly alienating - one may question the validity of this) but there are plenty of people about who love anything historical and will be fascinated and inspired by true representations of old style. It might just not be the exact audience they want to buy their rag, though.
It's like they can't grasp that the accurate looks were considered sexy in their own time. Someday our grandchildren will look at photos of us from the late 2010s and think our skimpy cleavage baring tops and skin tight high waisted pants are old fashioned and unattractive, but it's the standard "Instagram model" brand of sex appeal in the present day. I remember when hip hugging low ride jeans were the sexual clothing item and now, they're "outdated and gross." And that was just about 2 decades ago. Silhouettes aren't chosen at random from a hat by designers. Trends flow according to ever-shifting ideas of what "attractive" looks like.
I think the 20's is one of the most butchered decades when they try to replicate it...the ultra flapper style with the skirt too short for that era and the wrong shape
One time in elementary school I didn’t know what to do for decade day so I just put a leopard print skirt or something on and pretended I was some kind of cave person
the beanie is the pill box hat of the 2000's. in 2000 you'd wear them normally, like someone going skiing or some shit. in the mid 2000's you'd wear them so they'd practically fall off the back of your head because you're emo. early-mid 2010's, you wore them smurf/condom style. late 2010s-early 2020 you wear them rolled up like an art school student. in this essay I will
God I can’t wait for in like 70 years when I’m old an look onto my phone and I see cut making a video saying that everyone in 2020 looked like Kate Middleton
When I saw these a few years ago I was actually offended. I'm a fashion historian. It made me NUTS I was offended that some one claimed to know what they were doing. And now people think that this is legit. It pissed me off.
@@just-trying-my-best-everyday me too. You have no idea how many perfectly good peices of origami paper I wasted trying to make at least one half decent paper crane when I was nine.....
The fact that instead of THANKING you for bringing light to what was realistic back then and correcting their chanel, they wanna shame you for being smarter and clearly more educated? Speak your mind girl because YOU know whats up and their cheap, low quality videos can’t even compare to yours. Keep up with what ur doin 💕
Cut were very immature with their response. I like the fact Karolina is teaching my uneducated ass about historical fashion. I find it interesting and she really goes into detail about it, which is super helpful.
I read the article cut wrote about your video and they basically said “history is idealized and generalized so we idealized and generalized fashion but didn’t point that out and presented our video as fact” like that’s not a problem good historians are constantly trying work against. lol the article was also written by a man which is probably why he thought generalizing women based on mainstream fashion was fine and good.
Wow they’re literally admitting to the very thing she called them out for, with no second thought that maybe it’s not the best idea. You’d think they’d at least consider taking a closer look at their research to make it look more historically accurate.....also I’m not surprised it was written by a man lmao
I'm old enough to remember both the 1960's and 1970's, and let me tell you, most people today have no idea how to distinguish the two. They think hippies and psychedelic prints were around in the 1970's, and the 1960's were about nothing but skirts no longer than your hip bone. Drives me nuts. Thanks for these videos, trying to set at least some things straight about fashion history. Seems like actual fashion history gets lost the moment the New Year comes, every year.
Bit late commenting here. I'm old enough to remember what older people wore in the 70s. Blokes with comb overs and sideboards!! Kipper ties etc.young fashion was very different...someone into northern soul music had a look..Oxford bags etc. New wave/punks with narrow ties, straight trousers etc. Mini skirts making a comeback etc...not how it is portrayed on these historical videos, with one style of flairs and Farrah Fawcett hairstyles! The 80s stuff as well...usually on these videos they are well off. 1989 wasnt the same as 1981. I can never understand why they get it so wrong. There are movies, TV shows, documentaries, TV news footage. Pop programmes Etc. No excuse. People in the US looked different to Britain as well. That has gone, but it did exist.
Sandra Zarembski thanks 😊 you seem like such a nice 60 something year old I love that wholesome older people are the best have an amazing life I love you ❤️
You shouldn't worry about how harsh you're being. you did actual research, and Cut already got on your case because you as a person with a significantly smaller budget managed to make something far better than they did. Let them be pissed off, I say! They can learn a lesson from you.
1920's women: we deserve rights! we will wear beautiful dresses and step out from societal norms because the war is over! cut: aha don't say that ur so sexy ;)))))
Nila Rowan Isn’t that the truth. It’s amazing how triggered people get because you don’t agree with them. Because, you know, THEY’RE RIGHT! And your stupid, ignorant, or uneducated! It boggles my mind how self righteous and smug people are nowadays. To get MAD?
Honestly don‘t think that it‘s a 21st century problem. People have always gotten offended over small things. I just think that the internet has really helped us find wayyyy more people we could disagree with.
There is literal proof of what fashion trends happened in history. We have literal patterns from clothing, actual clothing and accessories, paintings, drawings, diagrams. There is little to dispute! So when you point out inconsistencies it is merely making a correction. They should take notes not take offense.
Jamie Joy because they don’t know how to take constructive criticism. If they can’t take it and learn from it then they’ll never improve. Talk about being butthurt cry babies!
Sometimes it's hard to take criticism, especially if you've worked hard and something and have spent a lot of time and money. However, people would be better to listen and learn from experts rather than be upset.
I own some of these items because I had a relationship with both my grandmother and my GREAT grandmother. Many of us are inheritors of this evidence, both photographical and material. Not to mention geneological.
I don't really have a problem with videos showing a modern interpretation of vintage looks but they should be honest about what they are doing. Pretending to be historically accurate, while not being historically accurate is fraudulent. These videos were probably and maybe secretly sponsored by companies trying to sell people products; hair styling products, makeup, clothing, accessories, shoes etc. What they should have done is said, here is the vintage look but you can achieve this inspired modern look with these products. That would have been much more respectable. I really feel sorry for the junior producers of these videos though. They were probably just handed a list of items to find and a deadline without any real information on what exactly was required. I keep thinking about that cloche hat that was so terribly wrong. Wrong hat, wrong size for the model and on shoot day they probably just had to fudge it. That was definitely a "Oh shit! We don't have time to fix this." mistake, not a "This is what we think a 20's cloche actually looks like." mistake.
They're mostly done by fashion/beauty magazines, which is all about selling clothes and makeup. So... yes, they're sponsored. Not secretly, but they are sponsored.
I think its a matter of understanding your area of expertise, Cut wants to make viral videos, nobody there has any real knowledge of historical fashion, or many other topics they make videos about, and it would be great if they hired pros instead of think they know everything and prove repeatedly they don't. They constantly get food wrong on their HiHo channel, it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to bring in someone for the day instead of pretending 5 minutes on google is a professional way to research a topic.
The models are too tall for the 1920s dresses. And they really need to find a historical group to use original dresses instead of using modern dresses that have "shapes" of the vintage looks. These videos sensationalize the periods.
Emilie Smith I mean,if it’s a vintage dress,there’s not much you can do about it. I think they should just hire shorter models. I could be wrong,but wasn’t being shorter part of the fashion ideal in the twenties?
There are groups that re-create vintage clothing from different eras. It seems like it would be difficult to do 100 years without bringing in several historians.
Honestly, to me this wasn't judgmental enough. We have every right to be irritated and expect better from popular media capitalizing on something that we're passionate about in a very lazy way. These types of videos had huge audiences, and they typically portrayed fashion in very costumey ways. Because let's be honest, it would take way too much time, effort and money for them to bother getting it right. They don't care about accuracy, or misinforming a huge audience, they care about the views. And people who care about this topic have every right to feel angry and insulted.
I agree. People have this image of vintage that's very halfassed and it shows. Even big budget movies set in the 20's and 30's always get things wrong. Sometimes you see wonderful clothes and sets, but the hair is ALWAYS curled too loosely, the eyebrows are ALWAYS too thick. At this point I'm convinced that it's willful ignorance.
Emily Gaming They already have and it’s always dead wrong! How can something be wrong when we all loved it and can see pictures!! They even said the biggest blonde of the early 2000’s was Shakira. And every girl was screaming “It was BRITNEY!”. If they can’t even get our own era right, how can they get back then right?
@@justsomehipsterwithaniphon705 in the early 2000's? lmao no, what? Gaga joined the scene in 2008; Britney was there since the start of the decade, and even in the late 90s. smh.
Preach it sister. Can't stand ignorance. In my opinion if someone presents an educational video about a subject research and accuracy is absolutely imperative.
Kat Lauren They even get the 90’s and 2000’s wrong. I get frustrated when I think “that isn’t the 2000’s!!!!”. It’s to the point that I just completely ignore these videos now.
I see that they want to apply the modern sexyness to all the looks. Sexy is something that changes, they look at old photos and be like, that is not sexy. But back in the time, they were (sometimes ofc). I think that Safiya Nygaard always got nice research material, such as old magazines and not only internet research. She also tells a bit about history. But the parts that don't fit, is because some people do not have a history feeling. Because it's harder to understand changes and differences. And that they have cognitive dissonance, so they don't know how to interpret it. But I like when people say 'inspired' by, because then, it don't has to be really what they wore, but a inspiration or a modern twist. New fashion used that to make new trends and I think it's really interesting. Thanks for reading my long comment.
I think it's more so they arent using a huge budget it's like if I have a 20s day at school I'm not going to go buy a whole authentic outfit makeup shoes makeup etc. I'll just wear something that looks similar and do an outfit with the clothing I have. It seems like they do the same because they're doing countless of these 100 years of bla bla bla and it's already a lot of work just for a quick entertaining video they arent making katherine amounts of money from so they're probably just asking designers for clothes they already have in their possession and it's being thrown together quickly I'm just happy the info given in between is accurate
I mean if they want to change the style by making it more sexy they should own up to it and stop pretending to be accurate. Cut's videos should have been "hairstyles of the last 100 years... but SEXIER!" Then we would have known that they were not being honest and there would not be an issue.
My thought process during this video: 1) This is very informative. 2) Dressing in the vintage style sounds exhausting... 3) Then again, women’s fashion today also sounds exhausting...... ...anyway, great video! LOL
@@DrBrightIsBack lol, I wear sports bras on a day to day basis, so they aren't that uncomfortable. The only uncomfortable thing for me is probably jeggings, and that's it. Nice to see a Hetalia Fan here (I can't tell if that profile pic is Italy or not lol)
I find it crazy how women feeling forced to paint their face daily is SO NORMALIZED that people can't even fathom women in the PAST not wearing makeup.
As a general rule, any UA-cam channel big enough to put out tons of content, especially format-consistent, specialty topic videos, they are assembled by a staff of people who are not actually experts, and often presented by someone who's basically a spokesman/woman. If you want actual information, and not some kind of pop-culture surface-level garbage, you don't go to those channels. You go to a channel run by a single person who knows the subject - like this one.
Her? Pfft. haha. No. She's a monotone doll who's face is all too long and thin. If she had a shred of emotional content in her voice, maybe I could get over her overly pompous makeup and hair routine.
I’m a theater costumer, I work at a high school and middle school. We’ve done a number of period shows with the high schoolers, and they love the research and seeing what was historically correct. I hang hair and makeup inspiration around the dressing room, I share research boards before I show my sketches. I’ve had so many great conversations about parting hair and burying Bobby pins! So the sort of target audience age range for these videos can care about historical accuracy, and do! It shows such a lack of faith in the curiosity and varied interest of their audience when allure or cut or whoever moderns up everything.
I live in North Carolina US, and not too far from my house there's an Ava Gardner museum. I got to do makeup from the era on some women as a promotion for the museum. It was cool. The museum is full of her dresses and the makeup she wore.
I didn't find it judgemental at all. It is a strong constructive criticism. There are lots of irritating historical fashion myths that were created by modern women based off of their assumptions and lack of understanding that continue to get spread around even to this day by people that should know better. Don't even get me started on the subject of corsets and stays. I have to say I have been guilty of sometimes preferring the modern versions over the original, but I only sometimes. If you are going to do a historical video you should do it right. These people making these videos have literally millions of references at their disposal. No excuse. The love and fascination of historical fashion is how it differs from modern clothing so why would you not showcase that? I think you did a great video!
its like when some idiot does some "historically accurate armor" bs vid, and the thing is practically a theater prop made of tin and plastic, and you can just push the sword through it. while in actuality you can take real armor and keep beating it with the said sword and its like a tank. and then there is idiots like the game theory who post their bs as facts, there is at least 2 creators who have debunked his bs when it comes to "historys deadliest warrior."
90s: Minimalism characterized the fashion at the time Me: My tie-dye, scrunchie shirts, and punk clothes from that time would like to have a word with you. This is a great example of how showing just what the "starlets" wore does not necessarily reflect what everyone wore!
yeah i think specially (more evident) starting from the 60s there were so many and varied sub-cultures/styles/trends/social idealism etc every year (i mean in the other eras too, but its more pronounced from here) so you cant just point out an era/decade by one outfit (even less if your outfit its totally wrong hahaha).
Yeah, 90s definitely wasn't a minimalist period. I was a kid through the nineties, so I wasn't that fashionable, lol, but I do remember the clothes weren't minimal, and like you said with tie-dye shirts and everything. I think they're confusing the Mary-Kate and Ashley era (1998-1999, early 2000s) with the nineties by using that dress, lmao. But even the Olson twins didn't slick their hair back, so I have no clue where tf the people making the video got THAT from. smh
@@sakura_kitkat7896 It's like they combined the Mary-Kate and Ashley style with the slicked back emo white boy who tried to bleach his hair but it ended up yellow.
THIS!!! This is the video that EVERY vintage enthusiast wanted to make. Thank you for taking the words right out of my mouth... They really messed up not hiring vintage hairstylists for those videos. The 100 Years of Hair video was the WORST.
I love that I’m not the only one that’s gets irritated by these videos. I have yelled at the screen a time or two when they get things so wrong. They show styles that are so clearly just modern with vintage inspiration instead of what is true to the period. The 1920’s era irritates me the most though. I wish they would understand that not every woman dressed like a flapper and that things were not that short or fitted. I never ever see them show a dress with a true drop waist. Why they can’t do a little more research and stay accurate is beyond me. ..
magsguerra i feel like what they usually do is just pick out FLAPPER PARTY COSTUMES AT PARTY CITY and put them on the model. it’s the stupidest thing. they only care about feeding the stereotypes.
That Ukulele Chick Depends, I guess. I asked my great aunt, who was a tap dancer in the 1920’s, if she was a flapper (this was when I was a teen in the ‘80’s) and she said, “Oh, honey, we all were!” This was in Nebraska and my family was lower middle class, not rich.
Historical accuracy is so very important. Adjusting a style from a previous era to fit our standards today is fine as long as you sell it that way. To be authentic is to work really hard. They need to stop being so lazy and stop thinking that most of their audience is too dumb to know or care.
Another thing I've noticed is that they tend to show day dresses for one decade and evening dresses for another, which really doesn't give any idea of what people actually wore for any one event.
Ah, poor phrasing on my part. I meant that the same/similar events happening in different decades. eg, a dinner party in the 20s vs a dinner party in the 30s etc, rather than a dinner party dress for the 20s example and then a casual day dress for the 30s.
This wat they also did for 100 years of goth and 100 years of Japanese fashion. They did get some things right but wat mainly made people mad was that they thought emo was goth and they gave (for the Japanese fashion video) the model a terrible outfit of how Lolita fashion looked. If anyone knows wat Lolita fashion is u do know it’s more than just a colorful pettycoat and clothes. That’s wat made me mad personally about those videos. They did so little research
I'm not even a huge UA-cam channel that mostly does fashion and *I* know that lolita don't look like that and nobody wore their hair like that to their job at the factory in the 1920s 💅
jamienyx oof I really don’t mean to burst your bubble, it’s really great that someone young likes the fashion, but please, please wait until you’re older to wear Lolita style clothing. The name ‘Lolita’ comes from a Russian story called the Lolita girl, and it’s about an older man who dresses up a young teenage girl in that style of clothing and has sex with her. Though it’s not apparent there is a sexual connotation with Lolita clothing and I don’t want anybody to wear that sort of clothing at a young age, because it’s inappropriate. I hope you can understand
I have watched so many of these videos and thought the same things, they can be pretty painful to watch sometimes for anyone who has actually studied fashion history!
I don't find this judgmental but rather constructive criticism. Judgmental to me is pointing only negative points without having any reason behind or explanation. For instance saying that's a horrible example no one wore that ....but you instead explained and also gave the good points.
I’ve always hated the modern interpretation of 1920s fashion & when I found out what 1920s fashion actually looked like, I realized I absolutely adore it.
Zoë One of my Grandmothers was a young mom in the 1960s (in the are I grew up in/moved out of it was very Protestant and women had very few rights/little place outside of the home and church potluck, luckily she fought and got a higher education and career later on:D) and she’s not the type to criticize everything (unlike me), but she notices misinterpretations of 50s/60s styles. Many hairstyles were WAY less sleek and had more of an “80s” rough volume (maybe partially due to hair products being of less variety and lower quality) and not all trends were as great as remembered. It’s like the 90s: people forget appliqué vests, the REALLY ugly Mom jeans/acid washes and those horrible tiny glasses should have NEVER made a comeback.
@@jellyjellywowie it's not accurate enough you Know what I mean? like they are interesting and good, but some people enjoy seeing the closest thing to The real deal
Wait...so you're telling me there is a such thing as vintage hairstylists...AND THEY COULDN'T HIRE SOME FOR THESE?! They could have one vintage stylist and one modern stylist for the later ones. Jeebus!
There's Janet Stephens, for example. She has a channel on here, too, where she reproduces hairstyles from Grecian to Victorian times with (mostly) authentic means (i. e. bodkins and sewing instead of bobby pins and hairspray), she only uses fake braids when the models' hair is too short for a particularlarly "big" style or when they used fake hair back then, too. I quite like her work, she really puts lots of research in there.
To be fair, movies almost never get period hair or makeup right. Sometimes it's because the actress throws a hissy fit over not looking "glamorous" enough.
Yes every decent theater has a stylist OR knows of a stylist that will provide era clothes and accessories that are accurate and will provide advice on how to recreate a correct and realistic look. It's not THAT expensive, as a service. And accurate clothing can be rented out. But as it was very honestly pointed out, the purpose of the videos is to be click bait and advertise modern fashion items. Not to educate anyone.
@@seaglass7375 Yeah, I was like "Getting them to help or direct the team to do it the right way is less expensive than hiring a whole vintage crew." As for the last part, unfortunately, you are right. They are doing it for the money from fashion folks and so on, but, the reason it ticks me off the most, why not show how much fashion evolved to now? What we wear now is from the inspirations of the old fashion (reasons why some are coming back) as a homage. Better yet, why not combined styles to make a new style? Now that is something I would love to see.
I just love your whole vibe so much. You’re the history buff hero I didn’t know I needed. Please don’t be afraid to be brutally honest because you actually care about historical accuracy and fashion unlike these creators just looking for a “quirky” video idea that can give them views.
@@linapleachimPL How so? From my experience, that's how it's been. Teachers and classmates would always point out my American accent when I spoke lol, and I've even been used as an example of, "And- ah, Psixi, would you please read this word out loud?" "-? Ok..? ___?" "You see everyone, in British English we would say that as ___." So from my understanding, British English is the curriculum. Maybe it's different in other areas of Poland? Or I guess if you self-taught yourself English from the internet and stuff, outside of class, then you might've learned American English, but I was specifically thinking of English taught in school when commenting.
First video I saw of her, I was trying to figure out what English-speaking country/region she was from. Her English is so good it seemed she must be a native speaker, but from some place with a regional accent I'd never heard before. That being said, she sounds more American than British, imo.
The stylists actually buy vintage clothing for Downton Abbey. England seems to have a lot of people re-creating or doing bespoke vintage, Prior Attire comes to mind.
The thing is, you don't even need to be a specialist in history of fashion to see the mistakes. Just by seeing paintings or watching old movies you know something off.
That's the truth. The inaccuracies in these kinds of videos makes me cringe. There is no reason not to hire stylists, hairstylists, and makeup artists who have experience in vintage. Thank you for saying out loud what so many of us were thinking.
Not to mention even the musical direction was as modern as possible with few elements of their generation. The intent wasn't to be historically accurate and that's fine. The people from cut could have easily stated their video wasn't intended to represent historically accurate examples, rather to show looks inspired by such era's, and people wouldn't have critiqued them.
That last 1920's one though. "In the roaring 20's, silhouettes were loose[...]" and then shows someone with a close-ass dress. Not straight in any sense of the word
I watched the 100 years of Girls fashion and the 80s and 90s were so wrong! There were people in the comments saying they wished they lived in the 80s because of the outfit but I was like 🤦♀️
"Why would you pretend you know stuff when you don't?"
Girl this is the million dollar question for most of humanity.

Ironically, those Cut videos made me realize I had an interest in old fashion, which in turn sparked research and made me realize how bad those videos are
Same
Same with me , i know use my drawing skills to make new concepts for old dresses or adds modern details to victorian skirts. Idk how i never realized it since i love modern fashion and i live for history.
That's like me with Memoirs of a Geisha. It got me to want to learn more about geisha and kimono, only to eventually learn what a historically inaccurate and problematic mess the book and movie are.
@@BiologicalClock really? I always assumed the book was accurate.
Same with me. I read Memoirs of a Geisha many years back. I was actually quite young, but wanted to read the ‘adult books’ to seem cool. I was given the impression That Geisha’s and we’re legitimately just women Who served as traditional sex workers. But now, I obviously see that it is completely different. Being a Geisha is an art form in itself. It requires a lot of discipline, hard work and dedication to be one.

i think it's really weird and bad when people try to "sexy-fy" things. if you are trying to show what the actual style is... you have to show the actual style, no matter how unflattering you think it is. it's not about your opinion, it's about whats accurate.
Exactly. These videos are supposed to teach people what was considered fashionable back then, not how to make them “look sexier”
Also what’s with trying to sexy-fy women‘s fashion. Can we not sexualize every single aspect of womanhood
I’m a veteran and agree with this when I see women in uniform in movies. Our uniform and hairstyle is not for beauty, it is for function.
@@lesmortimers4791 yes! smh not everything a women wears and does is for your appeal
True. Especially when their videos are about timelines and decades in history
I was a teenager in the '80s. The color of the 80's dress was totally wrong. We did wear flower print dresses, but they were small calico type prints and colors were brighter and saturated jewel tones. As you talked about with the hats, it comes down to the details and not just *what* was worn, but *how* it was worn.
martialartess I lived in the American South for a year at the very end of the eighties (1989-1990). So many girls still wore those (mostly to church...), and they had these enormous lace collars, remember those? And the big hair! (Sorry, ozone layer...). Meanwhile in the Netherlands, we wore wide-legged jeans and chucks and sort-of cropped tops - one leg in the 90s already!
I seem to remember lots of big bright floral prints, and pastels. However, that was more for kids, and maybe some teens. Maybe prom dresses.
But I do just remember big florals in general. Not just dresses.
Agree that that's definitely not an 80s dress. My wardrobe in the 80s was pink, turquoise, teal, purple, blue, grey... but not those yellows and browns. Everyone at the time would have turned their noses up at something that looked so "70s" in coloration.
Also her hair wasn't big enough. I'm guessing the stylist or model didn't want to do all that backcombing we used to do.
Kiki I guess my experiences are just different. Yes, Jewel tones were big. Just something about those giant florals and puffy sleeves. I wouldn’t call it 1990s, though. No one would wear that in the 1990s.
@@sallyvillarreal4294 I agree that the cut of the dress is okay (and definitely not 90s). It's mostly the color that's wrong.
I agree with the original poster that I don't remember big florals in the 80s either. Smaller floral patterns, yes. But mostly geometric shapes and big blocks of color.

Hi roger

tamara turford They even get the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s wrong! Like how!!! They’re from the era.
I noticed this alot in those videos and they also tend to follow stereotypes. After taking a film class and seeing a few movies from those eras (i.e not a historical fashion goddess like her) I cringe at the 1920s the most.
Lazy, yes. And pandering. As we've learned this year especially, Hollywood and the fashion industry and all the other chattering classes think we are stupid hicks and will fall for anything they throw our way.

Something ive never understood about companies like Cut and Buzzfeed and Glamour is that they refuse to hire anyone with knowledge or experience in the video theyre making. Like, they have the money! They have the resources! If they wana make quality videos why not put in a little more effort to (at the very least) have an expert vet their video before posting.
Glamour,though,has learned,and hired a lot of dress historians.

Because they are woke and I'm talking about people that call themselves feminist but they actively try to hurt men ...like there is literally whole post about feminist saying they wish they could kill their son because they are a man ...... And they hate anyone that has or used to have a penis and when I mean hate I mean they hate them like the kkk hates poc and gay people
@@goreandhoodies3626 This has nothing to do with feminists hating men lmao. Why tf are you bringing it here?
Women's fashion is getting the short end of the stick in these videos. And they are sexualising styles that are not meant to be sexualized in the first place.
They don't care...it's a cash grab for them. Why bother being accurate as long as you're getting views?
Listen. Sex is cool sometimes. But why do hair and makeup stylists for these videos always unnecessarily prioritize sexy over accuracy? It’s cheap, disconnected, cold-hearted to the subject matter, and confusing.
My reaction is justified. “100 Years of ____ Fashion” is historical, therefore necessarily attracts a sentimental demographic. History is an emotional thing and studios should know what they are getting into.
XII Ikr! I’m all about people dressing how they want but during these times being showcased in the 100 years videos, you couldn’t dress the way you’d like to. So, making vintage sexy or whatever is inaccurate.
It is very much a sign of the times. Sex is over-prioritized in our media culture and they think what they're doing won't sell or have the audience they want (which is predominently very young people) interested in it if it looks - to their minds - alienatingly 'old' or fuddy-duddy.
I think they underestimate people, to be honest. Yes, some people will 'ewww' at or have no interest in anything that isn't sold as sexy-hawt (when you realise the extent of sexy-hawt right now is limited to Kardashian butt surgery and drag-queen make-up and giant arses twerking - absolute pornographic crudeness that many find truly alienating - one may question the validity of this) but there are plenty of people about who love anything historical and will be fascinated and inspired by true representations of old style. It might just not be the exact audience they want to buy their rag, though.
I can definitely relate to this comment. But what can you say, sex sells.
XII because women are supposed to look Sexy. Women are only valued for their sex appeal
It's like they can't grasp that the accurate looks were considered sexy in their own time. Someday our grandchildren will look at photos of us from the late 2010s and think our skimpy cleavage baring tops and skin tight high waisted pants are old fashioned and unattractive, but it's the standard "Instagram model" brand of sex appeal in the present day. I remember when hip hugging low ride jeans were the sexual clothing item and now, they're "outdated and gross." And that was just about 2 decades ago. Silhouettes aren't chosen at random from a hat by designers. Trends flow according to ever-shifting ideas of what "attractive" looks like.

I'm old enough to remember both the 1960's and 1970's, and let me tell you, most people today have no idea how to distinguish the two. They think hippies and psychedelic prints were around in the 1970's, and the 1960's were about nothing but skirts no longer than your hip bone. Drives me nuts. Thanks for these videos, trying to set at least some things straight about fashion history. Seems like actual fashion history gets lost the moment the New Year comes, every year.
Bit late commenting here. I'm old enough to remember what older people wore in the 70s. Blokes with comb overs and sideboards!! Kipper ties etc.young fashion was very different...someone into northern soul music had a look..Oxford bags etc. New wave/punks with narrow ties, straight trousers etc. Mini skirts making a comeback etc...not how it is portrayed on these historical videos, with one style of flairs and Farrah Fawcett hairstyles! The 80s stuff as well...usually on these videos they are well off. 1989 wasnt the same as 1981. I can never understand why they get it so wrong. There are movies, TV shows, documentaries, TV news footage. Pop programmes Etc. No excuse.

There is literal proof of what fashion trends happened in history. We have literal patterns from clothing, actual clothing and accessories, paintings, drawings, diagrams. There is little to dispute! So when you point out inconsistencies it is merely making a correction. They should take notes not take offense.

I'm a vintage hairstylist and I cringe everytime I see modern stylists attempting historical hairstyles xD

Just curious but what does a vintage hairstylist do? I don't imagine modern people wanting a vintage hair style so is it like a movie thing?
Historical hairstyles need historical techniques and products! (Unless, yk, they’re deadly)
Cool job!
I don't really have a problem with videos showing a modern interpretation of vintage looks but they should be honest about what they are doing. Pretending to be historically accurate, while not being historically accurate is fraudulent. These videos were probably and maybe secretly sponsored by companies trying to sell people products; hair styling products, makeup, clothing, accessories, shoes etc. What they should have done is said, here is the vintage look but you can achieve this inspired modern look with these products. That would have been much more respectable.
I really feel sorry for the junior producers of these videos though. They were probably just handed a list of items to find and a deadline without any real information on what exactly was required. I keep thinking about that cloche hat that was so terribly wrong. Wrong hat, wrong size for the model and on shoot day they probably just had to fudge it. That was definitely a "Oh shit! We don't have time to fix this." mistake, not a "This is what we think a 20's cloche actually looks like." mistake.
My point exactly.
They're mostly done by fashion/beauty magazines, which is all about selling clothes and makeup. So... yes, they're sponsored. Not secretly, but they are sponsored.
I think its a matter of understanding your area of expertise, Cut wants to make viral videos, nobody there has any real knowledge of historical fashion, or many other topics they make videos about, and it would be great if they hired pros instead of think they know everything and prove repeatedly they don't. They constantly get food wrong on their HiHo channel, it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to bring in someone for the day instead of pretending 5 minutes on google is a professional way to research a topic.
The devil is in the details. Thats how you deferentiate anateurs from professionals.
The models are too tall for the 1920s dresses. And they really need to find a historical group to use original dresses instead of using modern dresses that have "shapes" of the vintage looks. These videos sensationalize the periods.
nvaranavage or just... make the dresses longer so they actually FIT
Emilie Smith I mean,if it’s a vintage dress,there’s not much you can do about it. I think they should just hire shorter models. I could be wrong,but wasn’t being shorter part of the fashion ideal in the twenties?
There are groups that re-create vintage clothing from different eras. It seems like it would be difficult to do 100 years without bringing in several historians.

I'm convinced that Karolina is an immortal being who is here to tell us about fashion. She knows so much because she lived through it.
Honestly, to me this wasn't judgmental enough. We have every right to be irritated and expect better from popular media capitalizing on something that we're passionate about in a very lazy way. These types of videos had huge audiences, and they typically portrayed fashion in very costumey ways. Because let's be honest, it would take way too much time, effort and money for them to bother getting it right. They don't care about accuracy, or misinforming a huge audience, they care about the views. And people who care about this topic have every right to feel angry and insulted.

I agree. People have this image of vintage that's very halfassed and it shows.
Even big budget movies set in the 20's and 30's always get things wrong. Sometimes you see wonderful clothes and sets, but the hair is ALWAYS curled too loosely, the eyebrows are ALWAYS too thick.

C M yeah that was news to me, but then all I know about 50s-ish makeup is from modern rockabilly styles which are much less subtle :)
I see that they want to apply the modern sexyness to all the looks. Sexy is something that changes, they look at old photos and be like, that is not sexy. But back in the time, they were (sometimes ofc).
I think that Safiya Nygaard always got nice research material, such as old magazines and not only internet research. She also tells a bit about history. But the parts that don't fit, is because some people do not have a history feeling. Because it's harder to understand changes and differences. And that they have cognitive dissonance, so they don't know how to interpret it.
But I like when people say 'inspired' by, because then, it don't has to be really what they wore, but a inspiration or a modern twist. New fashion used that to make new trends and I think it's really interesting.
Thanks for reading my long comment.
Edgyedgelord Gibson girls are still hella cute.
I think it's more so they arent using a huge budget it's like if I have a 20s day at school I'm not going to go buy a whole authentic outfit makeup shoes makeup etc. I'll just wear something that looks similar and do an outfit with the clothing I have. It seems like they do the same because they're doing countless of these 100 years of bla bla bla and it's already a lot of work just for a quick entertaining video they arent making katherine amounts of money from so they're probably just asking designers for clothes they already have in their possession and it's being thrown together quickly I'm just happy the info given in between is accurate
I would love to see karolina react to safiyas series
I mean if they want to change the style by making it more sexy they should own up to it and stop pretending to be accurate. Cut's videos should have been "hairstyles of the last 100 years... but SEXIER!" Then we would have known that they were not being honest and there would not be an issue.

I find it crazy how women feeling forced to paint their face daily is SO NORMALIZED that people can't even fathom women in the PAST not wearing makeup.

As a general rule, any UA-cam channel big enough to put out tons of content, especially format-consistent, specialty topic videos, they are assembled by a staff of people who are not actually experts, and often presented by someone who's basically a spokesman/woman. If you want actual information, and not some kind of pop-culture surface-level garbage, you don't go to those channels. You go to a channel run by a single person who knows the subject - like this one.
THE PERFECT WOMAN DOESN’T EXIS-
I see what you did there.
Still lookin for her
That meme doesn't work because the world is full of perfect women. I love you fellow ladies!
Her? Pfft. haha. No. She's a monotone doll who's face is all too long and thin. If she had a shred of emotional content in her voice, maybe I could get over her overly pompous makeup and hair routine.

I’m a theater costumer, I work at a high school and middle school. We’ve done a number of period shows with the high schoolers, and they love the research and seeing what was historically correct. I hang hair and makeup inspiration around the dressing room, I share research boards before I show my sketches. I’ve had so many great conversations about parting hair and burying Bobby pins!
So the sort of target audience age range for these videos can care about historical accuracy, and do! It shows such a lack of faith in the curiosity and varied interest of their audience when allure or cut or whoever moderns up everything.
Dude that sounds so fun. I wish I had that in school
I live in North Carolina US, and not too far from my house there's an Ava Gardner museum. I got to do makeup from the era on some women as a promotion for the museum. It was cool. The museum is full of her dresses and the makeup she wore.
omg sounds amazing!
That sounds so amazing
I’ve been to the museum but it’s been a really long time (even though it’s a day trip for me)
omgggg
I love that museum!!
I didn't find it judgemental at all. It is a strong constructive criticism. There are lots of irritating historical fashion myths that were created by modern women based off of their assumptions and lack of understanding that continue to get spread around even to this day by people that should know better. Don't even get me started on the subject of corsets and stays. I have to say I have been guilty of sometimes preferring the modern versions over the original, but I only sometimes. If you are going to do a historical video you should do it right. These people making these videos have literally millions of references at their disposal. No excuse. The love and fascination of historical fashion is how it differs from modern clothing so why would you not showcase that? I think you did a great video!
its like when some idiot does some "historically accurate armor" bs vid, and the thing is practically a theater prop made of tin and plastic, and you can just push the sword through it.
while in actuality you can take real armor and keep beating it with the said sword and its like a tank.
and then there is idiots like the game theory who post their bs as facts, there is at least 2 creators who have debunked his bs when it comes to "historys deadliest warrior."

90s: Minimalism characterized the fashion at the time
Me: My tie-dye, scrunchie shirts, and punk clothes from that time would like to have a word with you. This is a great example of how showing just what the "starlets" wore does not necessarily reflect what everyone wore!
yeah i think specially (more evident) starting from the 60s there were so many and varied sub-cultures/styles/trends/social idealism etc every year (i mean in the other eras too, but its more pronounced from here) so you cant just point out an era/decade by one outfit (even less if your outfit its totally wrong hahaha).
Yeah, 90s definitely wasn't a minimalist period. I was a kid through the nineties, so I wasn't that fashionable, lol, but I do remember the clothes weren't minimal, and like you said with tie-dye shirts and everything. I think they're confusing the Mary-Kate and Ashley era (1998-1999, early 2000s) with the nineties by using that dress, lmao. But even the Olson twins didn't slick their hair back, so I have no clue where tf the people making the video got THAT from. smh
@@sakura_kitkat7896 It's like they combined the Mary-Kate and Ashley style with the slicked back emo white boy who tried to bleach his hair but it ended up yellow.
@@dracofirex Lmao, so very true XD
Don’t forget all the light up stuff that came out at the end of the decade, plus sequins!
THIS!!! This is the video that EVERY vintage enthusiast wanted to make. Thank you for taking the words right out of my mouth...
They really messed up not hiring vintage hairstylists for those videos. The 100 Years of Hair video was the WORST.
Who cares if people are offended, facts are facts.

"Ava Gardner is going to raise from her grave and beat you up, baby"
The level of sass in this video
They never get the 80s right in those videos.
YES. I was in my late teens/early 20s during the 80s and the clothes are not right. We wore separates for work and dance wear for play.
How did they get the 80s so wrong?! They either lived through the decade themselves or they’d know people who did.
M 3 exactly! In my opinion it’s one of the easiest ones to get right
Yes thank you and then the 80s always get bashed or insulted in the Cut videos.
It seems that they never want to go extreme enough with the hair, it’s always flat or under curled.
Do an "everything wrong with "everything wrong" videos"
M. A. Then, an “everything wrong with everything wrong with everything wrong”
I love that I’m not the only one that’s gets irritated by these videos. I have yelled at the screen a time or two when they get things so wrong. They show styles that are so clearly just modern with vintage inspiration instead of what is true to the period. The 1920’s era irritates me the most though. I wish they would understand that not every woman dressed like a flapper and that things were not that short or fitted. I never ever see them show a dress with a true drop waist. Why they can’t do a little more research and stay accurate is beyond me. ..
magsguerra i feel like what they usually do is just pick out FLAPPER PARTY COSTUMES AT PARTY CITY and put them on the model. it’s the stupidest thing. they only care about feeding the stereotypes.
Catering to a modern audience I suppose, the same way they're selling modern suits and calling them 'Peaky Blinder' suits...
flappers were actually stigmatized and frowned upon for being scandalous and dancing to jazz music
That Ukulele Chick Depends, I guess. I asked my great aunt, who was a tap dancer in the 1920’s, if she was a flapper (this was when I was a teen in the ‘80’s) and she said, “Oh, honey, we all were!” This was in Nebraska and my family was lower middle class, not rich.
Karolina : makes a video for education
Cut: So... you have chosen death..
Historical accuracy is so very important. Adjusting a style from a previous era to fit our standards today is fine as long as you sell it that way. To be authentic is to work really hard. They need to stop being so lazy and stop thinking that most of their audience is too dumb to know or care.
Another thing I've noticed is that they tend to show day dresses for one decade and evening dresses for another, which really doesn't give any idea of what people actually wore for any one event.
Ah, poor phrasing on my part. I meant that the same/similar events happening in different decades. eg, a dinner party in the 20s vs a dinner party in the 30s etc, rather than a dinner party dress for the 20s example and then a casual day dress for the 30s.
This wat they also did for 100 years of goth and 100 years of Japanese fashion. They did get some things right but wat mainly made people mad was that they thought emo was goth and they gave (for the Japanese fashion video) the model a terrible outfit of how Lolita fashion looked. If anyone knows wat Lolita fashion is u do know it’s more than just a colorful pettycoat and clothes. That’s wat made me mad personally about those videos. They did so little research
Queen Weirdness YES and the historical fashion was all wrong in the 1920’s-ish part of the japanese video too it made me lose my shit
I think it was 40 years of Goth fashion, not 100
I'm not even a huge UA-cam channel that mostly does fashion and *I* know that lolita don't look like that and nobody wore their hair like that to their job at the factory in the 1920s 💅
jamienyx oof I really don’t mean to burst your bubble, it’s really great that someone young likes the fashion, but please, please wait until you’re older to wear Lolita style clothing. The name ‘Lolita’ comes from a Russian story called the Lolita girl, and it’s about an older man who dresses up a young teenage girl in that style of clothing and has sex with her. Though it’s not apparent there is a sexual connotation with Lolita clothing and I don’t want anybody to wear that sort of clothing at a young age, because it’s inappropriate. I hope you can understand
When I saw that Goth fashion video, my emo ass wanted to yeet itself out of existence lmaooo EMO IS NOT THE SAME THING AS GOTH OMFG
My grandmother, born in 1910 always said, "When you put on a hat, TILT IT!"
I have watched so many of these videos and thought the same things, they can be pretty painful to watch sometimes for anyone who has actually studied fashion history!
Even having not studied fashion history, a lot of the looks just screamed "no one even google imaged this". That Cloche hat especially made me choke
The one they did on Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic are tragic AF
I don't find this judgmental but rather constructive criticism. Judgmental to me is pointing only negative points without having any reason behind or explanation. For instance saying that's a horrible example no one wore that ....but you instead explained and also gave the good points.
"Show me a single picture from the 1950s of someone looking like this. I'll wait."
LOL I'm dead.
9:44 My instant reaction was "Cleopatra was from the 60's?!"
The Cleopatra movie where Liz and Dick began their scandalous affair was a huge style influence.
I’ve always hated the modern interpretation of 1920s fashion & when I found out what 1920s fashion actually looked like, I realized I absolutely adore it.
Zoë One of my Grandmothers was a young mom in the 1960s (in the are I grew up in/moved out of it was very Protestant and women had very few rights/little place outside of the home and church potluck, luckily she fought and got a higher education and career later on:D) and she’s not the type to criticize everything (unlike me), but she notices misinterpretations of 50s/60s styles. Many hairstyles were WAY less sleek and had more of an “80s” rough volume (maybe partially due to hair products being of less variety and lower quality) and not all trends were as great as remembered. It’s like the 90s: people forget appliqué vests, the REALLY ugly Mom jeans/acid washes and those horrible tiny glasses should have NEVER made a comeback.
If I see one more feathered headband I swear to god...
I Know! especially in historical context, a lot of young women were wearing what was basically "male attire" with a skirt in the 20s
They really screwed up 1920s I’m not even into historical fashion but even I can tell
FINALLY someone said it!!! LOL
Behindthebunzie love your videos bun 👍
boy am I fangirling right now
but its just how they do their stuff whats the big deal?
OMG JESS WASSUP SIS
@@jellyjellywowie it's not accurate enough you Know what I mean? like they are interesting and good, but some people enjoy seeing the closest thing to The real deal
How do you mess up 1990’s? That’s like the easiest decade for us to figure out how to style!
yeah and the fact those people and artists were actually adults/teens in that decade like cmon! use your fckng memory
It wasn’t even that long ago-
Wait...so you're telling me there is a such thing as vintage hairstylists...AND THEY COULDN'T HIRE SOME FOR THESE?! They could have one vintage stylist and one modern stylist for the later ones. Jeebus!
There's Janet Stephens, for example. She has a channel on here, too, where she reproduces hairstyles from Grecian to Victorian times with (mostly) authentic means (i. e. bodkins and sewing instead of bobby pins and hairspray), she only uses fake braids when the models' hair is too short for a particularlarly "big" style or when they used fake hair back then, too. I quite like her work, she really puts lots of research in there.
That would've been extremely expensive. Most likely a cost saving measure..
To be fair, movies almost never get period hair or makeup right. Sometimes it's because the actress throws a hissy fit over not looking "glamorous" enough.
Yes every decent theater has a stylist OR knows of a stylist that will provide era clothes and accessories that are accurate and will provide advice on how to recreate a correct and realistic look. It's not THAT expensive, as a service. And accurate clothing can be rented out. But as it was very honestly pointed out, the purpose of the videos is to be click bait and advertise modern fashion items. Not to educate anyone.
@@seaglass7375
Yeah, I was like "Getting them to help or direct the team to do it the right way is less expensive than hiring a whole vintage crew."
As for the last part, unfortunately, you are right. They are doing it for the money from fashion folks and so on, but, the reason it ticks me off the most, why not show how much fashion evolved to now? What we wear now is from the inspirations of the old fashion (reasons why some are coming back) as a homage. Better yet, why not combined styles to make a new style? Now that is something I would love to see.
I just love your whole vibe so much. You’re the history buff hero I didn’t know I needed. Please don’t be afraid to be brutally honest because you actually care about historical accuracy and fashion unlike these creators just looking for a “quirky” video idea that can give them views.
I agree with your words completely. I love her passion about this too!
I always felt that these "old fashion" videos do something wrong..... And after this video, really helps to see where I felt were wrong
Fact checking isn't rude. It's really helpful! This was informative and I enjoyed it
I didn't want to piss them off...
Too badly.

I love your accent... it's like a mix of polish and british.
British? More like american
Polish people generally learn British English so you're not off LOL
@@psixi2668 not exactly
@@linapleachimPL How so? From my experience, that's how it's been. Teachers and classmates would always point out my American accent when I spoke lol, and I've even been used as an example of, "And- ah, Psixi, would you please read this word out loud?" "-? Ok..? ___?" "You see everyone, in British English we would say that as ___."
So from my understanding, British English is the curriculum. Maybe it's different in other areas of Poland? Or I guess if you self-taught yourself English from the internet and stuff, outside of class, then you might've learned American English, but I was specifically thinking of English taught in school when commenting.
First video I saw of her, I was trying to figure out what English-speaking country/region she was from. Her English is so good it seemed she must be a native speaker, but from some place with a regional accent I'd never heard before.
That being said, she sounds more American than British, imo.
I love this channel! I love the historical accuracy. You inspire me to dress vintage.
I went to school for design and studied fashion history. I must say YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF! Respect
Karolina: **makes an honest (and brilliant) video that shows the reality of fashion without the sugar-coat or it**
Cut: ..and I took that personally
if you want the perfect 1910's/20's style just watch Downton Abbey and focus on what the daughters wear, its spot on.
The stylists actually buy vintage clothing for Downton Abbey. England seems to have a lot of people re-creating or doing bespoke vintage, Prior Attire comes to mind.
Women need to stop apologizing for being honest. Your criticisms are valid and interesting!
Dawn Adriana When women don’t apologize, men call them bitches. I wish us guys realized that.
I second the motion.
Dawn Adriana amen
Dawn Adriana so do men most boys I know apologise more even if their right
DoggosarenotPuppers lol WAT SGSJSJSI that’s the dumbest shit i’ve ever heard
The thing is, you don't even need to be a specialist in history of fashion to see the mistakes. Just by seeing paintings or watching old movies you know something off.
That's the truth. The inaccuracies in these kinds of videos makes me cringe. There is no reason not to hire stylists, hairstylists, and makeup artists who have experience in vintage.
Thank you for saying out loud what so many of us were thinking.
I love when Karolina just looks at us with patient disappointment. ♥♥♥
i've been thinking: is the great gatsby historically accurate? because when i saw the film i kinda felt that i'm actually watching rupaul's drag race
The film is isn't accurate to the time. It was more stylistic in nature, trying to capture the idealized "glitz and glam" of the Roaring 20s.
@@jeangentry6656 that actually makes sense for the theme of the film
Honestly? I haven’t read the book, but I have a feeling that Gatsby wouldn’t be mad.. as long as you get the vibe right
Definitely not, it was just a stylized version of the decade blend with modern elements.
Not to mention even the musical direction was as modern as possible with few elements of their generation. The intent wasn't to be historically accurate and that's fine. The people from cut could have easily stated their video wasn't intended to represent historically accurate examples, rather to show looks inspired by such era's, and people wouldn't have critiqued them.
That last 1920's one though. "In the roaring 20's, silhouettes were loose[...]" and then shows someone with a close-ass dress. Not straight in any sense of the word
I watched the 100 years of Girls fashion and the 80s and 90s were so wrong! There were people in the comments saying they wished they lived in the 80s because of the outfit but I was like 🤦♀️
