Matte- and dull-finished fabric is generally best for the dominant part of your silhouette however, combining an ultra shiny surface in a separate to work with this is excellent. Very rough or heavy fabric may definitely be worn in jackets, or other separates, as long as it is combined with an opposite texture (for example, a skinny ribbed knit) to break up the bulk. The lighter the fabric weight, the more tailored or clingy it should be. FABRIC: Fabric should be lightweight to moderate, with a slight crispness.On top of this, add irregular or asymmetric lines in a staccato, broken fashion. Make your foundation from skinny, narrow, and clingy silhouette. Note: An opposite use of line works best for you. Draped or flowing lines may be used when they are very elongated on the body and worn with a separate (either on top or bottom) that is opposite (sharp)-this breaks the vertical. Severely straight lines or softly straight lines. LINE AND SILHOUETTE: Broken, staccato silhouettes.Ornate shapes (unless they are very irregular and witty). Always work with a narrow base and add an opposite shape for contrast.
It provides electricity in your appearance.
Note: A mixture of opposite types of shapes works well for you. Short and wide geometrics with sharp or soft edges. SHAPE: Asymmetrics and irregular shapes.The following recommendations will be taken into consideration for each garment type listed below: The following are Kibbe’s recommendations regarding the clothing and style choices that best suit his Flamboyant Gamine image ID. Be symmetrical, in body type or facial features.Have an hourglass figure with a waspish waist and curvy hips and bustline (even when overweight, the bone structure gives a more squarish shape).Have a delicate bone structure with small hands and feet (in proportion to height).Have extremely exotic facial characteristics (except for extremely large eyes).Excess weight usually collects from the waist down, rarely above. Arms and legs tend to become thick, as does the waist and hip area. Face may become very puffy and fleshy. If overweight: Body tends to become stocky and square. Hair: Any type of hair is possible, but texture tend to be extreme: either very fine and straight or very thick and wavy/curly.Ĭoloring: Any type of coloring is possible (warm or cool), but Flamboyant Gamines tend to be distinctive – very fair, very fiery or very vivid. Therefore, slight deviation here or there is always possible and should not be worried over if it does not upset your Yin/Yang balance.īone structure: Broadly angular. Square shoulders. Slightly wide bones. Large hands and feet, in proportion to height (if very petite, hands and feet tend to be short, but wide and square). Slightly sharp or broad facial contours (nose, jawline, cheekbones). Arms and legs may be long, in proportion to height (if very petite, they appear to be slightly squarish). Facial contours tend to be broad (nose, cheekbones, jawline).īody type: Very defined musculature (unless overweight). Lean and strong. Straight lines (flat bustline and hips) unless overweight. Tendency toward a leggy look (coltish).įacial features: Usually have extremely large eyes. Usually have a broad or long facial shape (may be very round or slightly oblong). Facial flesh tends to be taut, unless overweight. Lips are frequently moderate to full. It is the overall combination of a combination of opposites/extra Yang on the Yin/Yang scale (smallish, broadly angular physicality, along with a youthfully bold and brassy essence) that creates this Image Identity category.
NOTE: The following information should be taken as a broad outline of what makes a Flamboyant Gamine. The following are Kibbe’s descriptions of a Flamboyant Gamine Body Type: Kibbe’s Flamboyant Gamine is described as being “Sassy Chic.” You can read more about Kibbe’s Flamboyant Gamine here. Flamboyant Gamine is the result when the mix of features are both yin and yang, but with slightly more yang. This week we will look at the first Gamine subtype, Flamboyant Gamine. In last week’s post we learned about about Kibbe’s Soft Classic, a style type that has the minimalist Classic lines, but with a hint of Romantic softness.
