Where does this print belong? { seasonal color, kibbe, kitchener }

The second video in this series: where does this print belong? Let's explore this print fabric and see what seasonal color palette it fits into, how it would work on different kibbe body types, and how it might work for different kitchener essences.
Also, if you want this series to continue, drop your fabric requests (style parameters like color season, essence, body etc) in the comments and I will try to find them on my next fabric store run.

Your videos have the quality of instruction of a college course. It’s amazing that we are able to access your videos for free, you could easily charge for a master class.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

That means a lot to me! Providing value and authenticity is really important to me, so it's very rewarding to hear this!

[@s.a.4358]

I agree! And I would pay for the content too because I learnt so much already

[@sammyranyx6710]

Yes to the video about accents and accessories!

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

[@disappearingink1354]

That was amazing! You're amazing! And that fabric 😍 Random anecdote: Back in the 70s, my mom's uncle (who was a sailor) gave her a gorgeous piece of a similarly colored blue silk from China and she made a "Jackie O" style suit. I absolutely loved looking at and touching it. I secretly wanted to wear it when I grew up, but it's long-since disappeared. This brought back a sweet childhood memory. ❤

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I love that! I have fond fabric memories as well 🤗 they can really make an imprint

[@pomegranatejelly9767]

At this point, it feels like learning about the Kibbe and Kitchener systems was just a step towards understanding how you talk about style. Even though you're inspired by them, you create comprehensive guides to style that touch on super useful things that we could never learn from reading their books, and honestly I like the outfits you put together more than their examples, too. Like... yeah you're talking about their systems, but your take on things feels so elevated that it feels like you're the next level.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

This is such a kind compliment and it really means a lot! I truly have a lot of respect for Kitchener and Kibbe and I don't want to infringe or spread misinformation. So I'm glad that people can appreciate my pov and my skill set and see how it overlaps or could be potentially used with such great creators systems! Thank you again, this made my day!

[@PLBeeBSM]

Very useful the tip on how to use a heavier fabric for romantic lines!

This fabric is so beautiful!!

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I think so too!

[@sammyranyx6710]

This really gave me something to think about in terms of the small scale print vs the large scale impression

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Yes, sometimes we get so zoomed in on the details we forget to back up and look at it from a holistic view

[@AylaVerheijen]

I love seeing the Bright Spring palette coming to live on you! I'd have never guessed that that pale yellow belonged to the bright palette, but it all clicks when seeing it in combination with your lipstick + complexion. AND I appreciate you bringing depth to a platform that's not always known for its depth.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Yes, the bright spring palette (like all palettes) is really expansive and includes every "version" of each color. It's been a fun pivot so far. I appreciate your comment a lot, thank you!

[@rosereddened]

I love this series, especially in how you talk about fabric weight! This is something i was thinking about independently (I wear a lot of long skirts in linen but i've been realizing lately it's a heavier fabric than i want to wear) and so you getting into the details of what shapes different fabrics make has been so visually helpful. I also love seeing your fashion designs with the fabric in question, and I'm grateful you spotlighted classic in this one! I also like your thoughts about how fast fashion impacts the industry and makes it less likely that any of us are wearing tailored pieces.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I’m so glad you like it! If there’s anything you want me to spotlight next let me know 🤗

[@ariesmry]

FABRIC B I could watch you do this all day... i love the outfits you come up with I aspire to learn how to sew, and this really helps to not take a fabric or pattern at face value and really get creative in how it can be flattering to different types

As a person who sews, I am enjoying learning how to select fabric and designs for my body type. Thank you! I am a dramatic, classic, true summer and any ideas that come up in your fabric shopping would be greatly appreciated. Regarding my vote for your next fabric, I like texture in fabric, so B it is.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Thank you for the suggestions- I’ll keep an eye out when I go fabric shopping. And I’m enjoying putting my designer skills to use, glad it’s helping with your sewing journey. It’s such a rewarding process to make your own clothes

15:48 "a whole video about ornamentation" - that would be amazing! I hope at some point you will treat us with such video. Fabric A. I wonder when flower prints become abstract enough to not be considered romantic anymore.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I think flower prints have so many stylization options that they can really be malleable when it comes to essences and design. And yes, I think an ornamentation video would be helpful. I have so many video ideas, I need to increase my productivity workflow haha

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Thank you so much! My background is in fashion design, so this type of content is right up my alley!

[@lorenslaymaker5133]

Fabric B looks entrancing. Love all the information packed into this video. I still regret an Easter dress from the 90s where I ignored the fabric recommendations. I should have picked a stiffer fabric with more body.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Ha, yes fabric recommendations are usually on point when they come with patterns. But depending on your skill and patience level you can always tweak a pattern to work for a specific fabric

[@laGenesisGodoy]

So helpful! Designing different pieces for different Kibbe IDs with accessories and hair really allowed me to understand fully how to blend the weight of fabric, color, pattern, design. Please do one that fits a Kibbe natural, soft summer. A video on ornamentation would be extremely beneficial.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I will keep that in mind when I go fabric shopping!

[@jorieshouse]

This video is especially helpful for a sewist in the personal styling world

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Glad to hear this!

[@RK-qs5dy]

I think this could work as dramatic (big scale, heavier weight) + ingenue (small flowers) blend, I see both boldness and delicacy. At least it was my first thought how to make it work. If the print was in black&white I would definitely place it in dramatic+ingenue category. And overall I have a soft spot for dramatic+ingenue blend so I'm obviously biased. Btw, whose small scale flowers in darker prints from grunge aesthetic are dramatic+ingenue+natural for me. Your "intense relaxation" definition was so good and insightful.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Yes, there's lots of ways to make it work for different blends for sure! I can see what you mean with DI

[@s.a.4358]

I love this series and I vote for B as next time’s fabric 🌈 I find this series really informative and I love that you show different outfit options with it.

So glad to hear this! I really like making these videos

[@beansp332]

Great job, once again. 🤩The part where you showed your own designs really elevated this video to the next level. As I was watching, I was trying to imagine what I personally would make from that fabric for each of the types. For example, for the dramatic I immediately thought about a long panel dress, for the romantic my mind went straight to drapes (even though you explained why that wouldn't work with such a stiff fabric!) and for gamine I imagined a short 60s dress. I've been learning about style, but this really showed me how I am still kind of limited in my understanding of what suits the different types! Once you revealed your designs I was each time so impressed with how exciting they felt. I mean, I was only able to imagine 3 simple dresses out of that fabric but yours were all so distinct! I can totally imagine Cate Blanchett wearing a cape like that and Helena Bonham Carter on the red carpet in that romantic dress. In the beginning of this video I thought that the fabric with its opposing elements (stiff fabric, dainty pattern) would make it hard for anyone to pull off, but you showed the versatility of it and it gave me a lot to think about. I'll have to go and look again at some of the garments in my own wardrobe that I have deemed "too hard" to wear! 😁

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I'm so glad it helped you expand your interpretations of the fabric! I love to design, so this was a fun exercise for me as well. A short 60's dress would have also been fun for the gamines!

Could you also share the various fabric types E.g will lycra be a good choice for a classic. It should not be as it very synthetic but it falls nicely. But is that fall classy enough for a classic?
