07. The Complexity of Beauty: Modeling, Biology, and Markets with Iman ElDeeb

Published: Aug. 7, 2021, 1 p.m.

Episode Description:
Ahmed and Youssef sit down to speak with Iman Eldeeb (AKA Camelicked), model and founder of UNN Model Management, the first modelling agency in Egypt. They discuss the nature of the modelling industry, Iman's history, and what it was like starting the first model management agency in Egypt. 

The discussion switches gears, as they discuss the origins of beauty standards, what men want vs. what women think men want, sexual selection's role in forming our ideals of beauty, social signalling, and how culture, biology, and markets interact to produce the modelling industry as we see it today.
