Where does this print belong? { seasonal color, style lines, essences}

Let's dissect this print and see how this fabric would work for different essence blends and where it could easily integrate.
If you like this, let me know! I have so many pieces of fabric from when I was a designer and could make it a series.

The sketches of different garments with the same print surronded with accessories for a certain type are so illustrative!

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Thank you! Im a fashion designer originally so it’s fun to incorporate

[@tiffann9514]

Would love this as a series! So helpful and it's great to have a visual representation of what fits different aspects of a person deverse look. ❤️

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I'm excited to hear this because I have soo many pieces of fabric that we could all explore

[@s.a.4358]

Agreed! I find it a really useful and informative exercise.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

@@s.a.4358 I am working on the next video now 👍🏻

[@disappearingink1354]

A series on this would be amazing! Seeing the fabric move while hearing the words you used to describe it was a lightbulb moment =) Fabric choice seems to be a very important but less recognized style point.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Glad it helped things click! Fabric is so important imo 👍🏻👍🏻

[@theroyalshaman]

Would def love this as a series

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Excited to hear this, finally all my fabric can get some new use!

[@majaolexova7378]

Please make a series out of this. I know how to sew and shop a lot of fabrics. I know my color season and essence combination. Don't know my Kibbe, just assuming. But I'd love a video where I can see how to combine those not on others, but in my imagination using general ideas.

I will keep this in mind if I find myself back at a fabric store (which will probably be soon given my fabric hoarding tendencies! haha)

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I'm so glad people are liking this! I'll definitely do more!

[@rosereddened]

I would love a series on this! I realized fabric weight was a big thing for me roughly 6 months ago but it's moreso been a journey of pinpointing what I don't like in my existing clothes than knowing what to look for, so I'm sure I would learn a lot!

[@charitymcdowell590]

This is wonderful, thank you! When shopping with fans it is way too easy to look at one tiny square of color and be unsure if it really blends with the whole season. Showing us what to look for as far as harmony and what to look for when it is off is out of this world helpful! Please, more! 🤣

[@moriahw3947]

I know this is unrelated, but I've been watching The Nanny lately and I can't believe how much you look like Fran Drescher (who was a SMOKE SHOW). Just thought I'd let you know!!!!! Thank you for your life-changing content!

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Haha loved the nanny! Although this is the first time I’ve been told I look like her. Maybe I need to do a rewatch 🙃 and thank you!

[@TinaB.-fr1hl]

Would love as a series.💞 Definitely learned alot. I hadn't realised until now that real world application is what's missing from a lot of videos out there. Great job!

[@vedanaa1]

I love these videos Gabrielle. You really have a way of breaking things down into teachable chunks. Thank you for your content! ❤

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Thank you!

[@jcg03002]

I like this - house of colour advises picking prints that are 70% in your season, so what you said to do aligns. I'm a spring as well and am excited to see you embrace your color palette!

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Ya I think all systems, including sci art which is what I’m trained in, does not expect you to find 100% perfect prints. Depending on how it works for your aesthetics and if it meets the majority of your color pillars, I think it’s good to explore 👍🏻

[@lydiag8368]

First off you look so beautiful in your new colors! And the effort and expertise in this video is just phenomenal! You are such a style fairy godmother- you get me inspired like nobody else. Would love to see this as a series!

[@ancientmusetarot]

Great video! Since I have been sewing my clothes lately, I would love to see this as a series.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

[@petitekatilin]

Thank you. So helpful. Please do more of these.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I plan to!

[@YumeraChauque]

The momment you question about the fabric patterns being more romantic or ingenue I thought exatly what you showed !! The silhuete would dettermine if would either be ingenue or romantic bcs the fabric is yin with no size patterns into the extrems!! 🤩

[@kamirae1010]

See I saw the satin & thought draping & then instantly thought ethereal. Didn’t even take into account the pattern lol. Thanks for going over the details. Would love to see more fabric videos!

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Satins do work for ethereals, the print itself didn't scream ethereal to me, but I could have added an ethreal version too most likely

[@kamirae1010]

@@Gabriellearrudadesign yeah, the print doesn’t seem very ethereal. Fabrics weights have just been easier for me to understand than prints. So I hope you make this a series! Your videos & articles are so informative & helpful. They’ve been a huge help for me in figuring out my style.

[@AlexLouiseWest]

A series would be fascinating. I could easily see that this fabric was for my own season, but I don’t know if I could recognise other seasons.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Well the fact you can identify your own season is great! Maybe I"ll do some trickier prints next to help us train our eyes

[@Hikerphillips]

I think this is one of the most helpful videos I have watched on your channel. I love how you broke it down in a way so easy to understand. Thank you! Would love ❤️ to see more. Kitchener also goes into what does the fabric convey or what mood does it project. That could be interesting. I love prints but always worry about looking dated with prints that don’t suit me.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Glad this made sense for you. I could definitely see adding in mood or what it conveys into the breakdowns, thanks for the suggestions!

Don’t we all have fabric stock piles 😂 it’s like sewing 101 - hoard all pretty fabrics

[@g3andrea]

[@s.a.4358]

I found this really helpful and I would like to see the same exercise with other fabrics for sure. I find it useful to even for essences and Kibbe that is not mine, as it is an exercise in recognising elements. It could be a fun and informative mini-series 🙂

[@BeaLucile]

1) AGREED with everyone about making this a series! ❤ 2) I know you don't type people, but do you offer remote style consulting? If not, is that something you might consider one day? 3) I just got typed as a Kibbe Soft Gamine with an Ethereal, Dramatic, Ingenue (in that order) essence blend, & I'm at a loss for how to combine those effectively. Ive also been professionally typed as a Winter (evenly across all 3 subcategories). I feel like you "see" things so clearly, so ill just continue to binge watch & learn how to combine all this. PS: I have been reviewing my daily outfit photos for nearly 2yrs, but I'm a dunce, & can only see what DOESN'T work. 😂

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I've considered offering remote style consultations, but I haven't quite figured out how I would do it without discussing typings and if they are correct.. But I am trying to come up with a solution for this! I think knowing what doesn't work is great data. Have you tried the 4 style pillars series? that might help you hone it down. And my self-guided personal style workbook walks you through going through your daily outfit photos as well

[@Icetor01]

This is a great idea. The first part relies on having the color swatches already. Realistically most people don't have that, so tips on how to identify the season(s) of a pattern in the store would be helpful.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

I think most ppl will have received a fan during analysis, and you can purchase one either way. Having your own fan or a scarf with colors you know are in your palettes is really a great investment. It makes it so much easier and

[@annominous11]

Love this and how the colors and prints don’t need to be exact and go away from the boxes of style systems and what to generally look for. I do see a little gamine in the fabric pattern too. Maybe that’s just me. When can we see the light summer and/or light spring blog?

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Yes, it could be used for a lot of different essences- these were just two I thought it fit easily in based on all the factors. I’m doing warm spring now, then light spring 👍🏻
