Karolina Żebrowska

Karolina Żebrowska is a Polish filmmaker and fashion historian who has been making YouTube videos about historical dress since 2012. Trained in film directing, she brings a filmmaker's eye to costume history — her channel blends period reconstructions with comedy sketches, social history and sharp commentary on how the past is portrayed on screen.

Her videos roam from medieval gowns to mid-century vintage, with a special affection for Victorian and Edwardian style. She is known for puncturing myths about the past — her "Beauty Through the Decades the Realistic Way" video contrasted glamorous period looks with what working women actually experienced.

Beyond YouTube she is an author, podcaster and the force behind the historical fashion brand Scarlet Rage Media. Nicknamed the "Meme Mom" by her audience, she has made rigorous costume history feel like the funniest conversation at the party.
