What is your type? Just curious!

Can you please do a video on hapsters I feel like some of the elements in fashion. Have to do with hipster fashion Please think of it.

Great introduction! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for this video. We have a Rock n Roll themed party coming up. I was lost as to how to style it. Your video helped me alot.

psychologically I am an ingenue maiden / lover mix- looking facially like Audrey Hepburn- problem is according to this standing at 5'11" I am too tall!! 😂😂😂

4:51 very mindful, very cutesy, very demure 😂🎀

Huh, maybe that explains why I’m in my mid 20s but people think I look 12-15 🤔😐

At the sentence: "All the way back to the early 1990s", I immediately burst into a cloud of ancient dust and blew away......

This is the first time I've seen the subdivisions described and now I actually do think this describes me. I feel like a petite soft natural! I never saw myself in the waif-like, Audrey Hepburn type that is normally represented.

I think Elizabeth Taylor was an ethereal beauty Her eyes and delicate beauty ❤❤

It is so clear this creator is informed and passionate on this topic. I loved seeing the gamine variations and including more than 1 body type! The video is long but worth every minute

Can someone have an ethereal face and a different body type ?

Can’t wait for pt 2!

Is it possible to have both ethereal and gamine? 😅

I have through my whole life had a dramatic essence if I look back, but I just realised I also have ethereal essence mixed in. Through time people have told me it seemed like I came from another place. Some place like in a fantasy world with elves, dragons and magic... like in out of space on another planet with magical beings. I have never understood why they said so? They could not explaine it. It was just a feeling they had. People often think I come from another country, but I have lived my whole life in the same place. They say I speak differently. Today I tried to find out, so I found a lot of photos of me and made them black and white as you suggested. Then I saw what it was. In all my pictures it seemed like I looked past or through to something distant and far away in a soft and mild way. It is very contrasting compared to my face shape, which is more dramatic angular and diamond shaped. My kibbe body shape is dramatic classic.🐲

Hello Elyssa, I'm watching this videos 4 years later as I found your channel (and this video!) as as recommendation on reddit to explain how to approach different style for different body types. I believe it would be amazing to have more videos like this one! where you explain how to achieve given style in given body types. There is some content like this on yt but I really liked how you approached it with different categories and we just NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS. I hope you will take it on <3

7:15 I think this shows how Kate Winslet´s black dress doesnt really work for her (as in many other examples shown here) She needs more yin in her wardrobe. They keep over doing the yang and classic lines because they focuse on the dignified serious look and it just doesn´t work for her. I actually think the issue is the fabric of these outfits. They are too thick, too yang. Maybe the classic look could work but the fabric has definetely to be way softer.

Can you guys genuinely stop saying the word Bohemian? It was a slur used for Romani people during slave trade, and It is literally so disrespectful and disgusting that you choose to use it as a descriptor for an aesthetic. Thanks.

I feel like ingenue is my greatest challenge. In Kibbe I am a theatrical romantic, 100%, but my face is so ingenue that I find I’m still struggling to strike a balance between looking like I’m not playing dress up in my mothers clothes, but also dressing appropriately for different events. I can’t pull off gamine though, that always looks like I’m wearing kids clothes more so than when I actually wear kids clothes!

I’ve never been able to figure this out as a woman who is 5’2” and curvy and have had a feminine face my whole life, yet I love edgy, structured clothing, and style. If anybody else out there is like that let me know if you have a board because I will follow you!

Love this video because I don’t relate to the classic look even thought i am a dramatic classic. I love the boho look

The outfits for Lucy Liu are more classic to me, then romantic

Seeing and hearing someone on a video, makes it much easier to see their essence.

This is me! I'm an "earthy" ingenue. It's similar to being a nature or elemental nymph without the ethereal touch (because that would obviously be an ethereal essence, and I'm way too carnal to be ethereal). There's a Pinterest board called "nature girl essence," and it pretty much suits me because the style reminds me of a barefoot Disney princess on a hike. Bohemian or folk pieces are fitting. My touches are more from the American southwest because that's where I'm from. I guess this is why the cat girl stuff is working out for me even though I'm no longer a "young adult," and just an adult. It's the ingenue... I know soft natural is a different style system, but it's kind of like that moreso than a soft gamine. I'm small and bony enough to be a flamboyant gamine (sharp/dramatic + petite + blend), but I don't have the quirky facial features for it. I'm like a skinny soft gamine (romantic/soft + petite + blend) or a tiny soft natural (romantic/soft + blunt/natural). The yin/yang essence system is easier for me though, and so I can easily see that I'm high in youthful yin as opposed to mature yin or any kind of yang. I embody the archetypal Persephone for this reason, and the Hestia touches aren't quite as blatant, but I'm sure I'll embody more of it as I age (a more mature crone archetype). This combo seems to look either "earthy or hedge witch" (blunt/yang + blend or sharp?) or outright dark Hecate (blunt/yang + dramatic/sharp) elements. I'm not sure. I just know I'm strongly an ingenue with natural elements.

This is one of the best explanations I’ve viewed. Love that you integrated non-celebrities in your video. Thank you!

(That’s me with no filters and minimal makeup in my pfp) I think I’m romantic because I have the stereotypical luscious lips and such however people online always like everyday tell me ‘you look so angelic’ ‘you’re ethereal’ and in videos that show my personality they say ‘you’re so cute’ and ‘you seem so sweet’ however people in real life always tell me they found me intimidating at first and that they thought I was prestige (look at the urban dictionary definition if you’re not in the uk) so I’m really conflicted because my essences seem to be romantic and ethereal but I still have highly obvious contrast that contradicts the defining ethereal trait, I think I’m more romantic in terms of first impression and my face but bc of how people perceive me later on I have no idea

Loved this ...thank you 💛

I am so embarrassed, confused, and shook, I thought Catherine Zeta Jones was AMERICAN! 😭 I’m questioning everything right now. I’ve watched entrapment so many times. This explains many things. Anyway I love this video so much. When you put them speaking it changed everything. Also Janet in the Marilyn inspired shoot OMG! She looks amazing. And Catherine in that leather dress in the daytime says everything! Bc it really does look so casual as you said.

haha my rock n roll look just looked like "punky teenage boy".. no glam :(

The staccato way is such an aha for me! I am primary classic and now realizing secondary ingenue… was always wondering why I could do some gamine sounding stuff (sets, color blocking). Love that you featured Sarah hyland I forgot how often I used to get “you look like her”. Thank you for this video, it’s the first I’ve seen on ingenue all on its own

I'm pretty sure I am a Dramatic (not FN or SD) much yang, but also have some flesh. I have a hard time with the dramatic clothing because it's just to boring. I find that I need more action than just a sharp cut. Sure, I look great in it, but I am so bored. I am edgy, I am alternative, I need it to show, even in my office wear. I need it to show through just enough, but I am not succeeding in doing that.

❤❤

This is such an amazing breakdown. Recently stumbled across the while kibbe/ kitchener system and although i am intrigued it is confusing 😅 But the way you break things down and explain essences makes sense to me. Hope you haven't been discouraged from making more videos, these are all so very informative ✨

Mmm she doesnt have big round eyes.

What is my romantic ❤

I didn't know you are petite. By your face I would've guess medium height. Loved the penultimate outfit.

I’d be careful about the word exotic when describing ethnic features. Has some objective and racisit undertones

Love everything you have provided, but what about summer looks and styles.

Ingenue 1000% here

I think this geometrical shapes could also work for gamine Ethereal Beauty

are you back????

love you opening song <3

This video was awesome very detailed and your voice is sooo sorhing to listen to ❤ Hope part 2 is on its way :)

I’m 39 years old and some people say I look like a pixie and others say I look like a Polly doll. I could never find my true body type. I do look good in theatrical romantic and soft Gamine… it can be frustrating to be child like when you are a grown woman.

This is such a great video

The word is aesTHetic.

Hi elyssa! What I find so interesting about the kibbe series is that we really have no idea wha goes on in another persons head or what it “feels like to be them”… as a classic I had no idea until I came across your video that there are people who struggle to look more formal. I simply never thought about and apparently took it for granted. I was always envious of the gamine spunk and expressiveness - something I will never have. What a great learning experience for us all!

impatiently waiting for part 2 👀💕
