  • Hi Guys, today's video is a WHOPPER!!! I know it's a long one, but the Gamine Archetype is so nuanced and has such a wide range of beauty possibilities that there seemed to be no way around an extremely long video. I hope this really shines a light on all the elusive characteristics of the Gamine and helps illuminate all the possible ways their beauty can manifest.

    shot out to all other women who felt the pressure to dress "more womanly" after entering adulthood age and standing next to 15 year younger girls and looking like their daughter and finally learning about gamine essences and feeling liberated to dress the way you always felt the best in. to all of us that tried monochrome and ornate and romantic and soft tight curles etc

    I love your approach to seeing gamines. As a petite woman with elongated legs, but short torso and short arms and a very strong, but compact frame that also has curves, I knew I was gamine, but found Kibbe's subtypes very confusing and restrictive. Your approach at looking at the whole person and what each individual's beauty and personality calls for is really cool.

      @@lybo1581 First of all i think we should consider height, i am 165cm, (5'4" for those who use the Imperial system)
      Because i have more of yang skeleton with broad and blunt bones/ cheekbones/jawline and i can handle some heavier fabrics and oversized/a little bit deconstructed clothes I fought I was a Natural!
      But then if i went full natural with clothing it just didn't fit right... It seemed off
      Then, (when i lost some weight) I looked at the bigger picture and saw that i had more "broken lines" within me and some kind of contrast with the softness being in my shortened limbs/ in my face (like bigger eyes, fuller lips) and that contrast between yang and yin is much more of a Gamine
      Then i saw this video and i really recongnised myself in one of the different sub-types of the Gamine
      Tldr: It also took me a long time to find out, but found my Yin/Yang balance by looking at the bigger picture and not to focus on very specific aspects of my body/face
      You're welcome :)

      I thought the same, I always thought I couldn't be Gamine because I'm 5'5 (166 cm) and have broad shoulders and am naturally a bit muscular (I always feel so massive although people keep assuring me that it's not as bad as I think). But I also have a defined waist and some hips, although they are not round but angular. I need a bit of waist emphasis or I'll look like a box - I often can't wear ultra high necklines if I don't pair them with high-waisted pants / skirts because my upper body will then look massive due to my shoulders.
      However, natural lines don't suit me. I'm too small in height and always look boxy if I just wear these more flowy, and elongated lines. "Compact gamine" opened my eyes now :) I look like a small scale natural but I am NOT a natural :D

    I'm probably a gamine, but I never identified with the high-energy, sassy essence. This helped a lot. Small and angular doesn't have to mean high energy, and you don't have to be rounded and doll-like to have a softer yin essence. Very good video! Also, what about floral prints for gamines?

If I found this video the first time I looked up Gamine, I wouldn’t have had to look at another. I appreciate seeing the real life Gamine examples. I loved that you covered the exaggerated Gamine facial features, the differing body types that exist with this type, and you tossed out the uncomfortable “little boy” notion that I usually came across when researching my type (it made it harder for me to accept it as well). Thank you for repackaging this in an accessible, informative, and non-cringey way. ☺️

I really enjoyed your analysis of your clients' essences and how that translates into clothing suggestions. It is a real skill that you have in being able to delineate and articulate a person's essence. I think it adds a lot to the analysis of body type and how your individuality can be best expressed in clothing. Personally, I resonated with your description of the high contrast gamine, particularly your client Rosanna. We have v similar body silouhette and facial features - with a dimple in my chin too!

    This has been so helpful. I cannot thank you enough. I've always been drawn to gamine styles and lines, but have become self conscious of them as I've gotten older (I'm nearing 40) as I've been worried about looking silly or trying too hard to appear younger. I've tried incorporating more classic and romantic styles in an effort to look more "adult" or "womanly", but have been frustrated as I often end up looking frumpy or childish. I'm realizing I should just trust what I'm naturally drawn to, and lean into the fun youthful essence of gamine which ironically does look more adult on me than anything else.

    Thank you for this video Elyssa, you have a true gift for interpreting and communicating these ideas. I struggled so much with the yin/yang stuff because I can clearly see I'm a mixture of opposites, and yet don't fit the description or examples often given in the Kibbe descriptions. I thought for a while I was a tiny "soft natural" but those lines just look wrong on me. Then I saw your examples with ladies like Simone Biles and so much clicked for me. I also love how you incorporate essence. Thank you for these videos, even though i clearly see I am gamine now I look forward to watching the videos of all the other types purely for the joy of seeing your approach and the way you communicate the information.

    This was so amazingly done! I had just rewatched your Ingenue video yesterday, since I'm currently trying to discern my essence on my own - just a fun little journey I'm taking to get to know myself better. I was trying to determine if I had a touch Ingenue or Gamine and this really solidified that I lean Ingenue, not Gamine. Thank you so much! Keep up the wonderful work! Can't wait to see if you do more of these for the other essences in the future!

    Thanks Elyssa, I really appreciate the amount of thought that goes into your videos. I'm really looking forward to your take on the dramatic archetype. I think there are a few distinct categories of dramatics that don't always fit within the stereotype. Your examples of real women were great and much more helpful than celebrities. Keep up the good work!

    • @sarahblack5144
      @sarahblack5144 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@elyssa_aesthetic Yes they are rare, although I do think that soft dramatic can be overtyped for anyone who has even the slightest curve. I know this because I initially thought I was soft dramatic because of my wide hips and slight hourglass shape, however pure dramatic fits much better as I don't really have any yin in me. Looking forward to your next video 😊

No no no! Thanks Alyssa, you are the first style guru I have ever mused about consulting . Saving up for it, so who knows?

  • @Glambunni
    @Glambunni 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is the first video that got it right. I'd be classified as a compact gamine and I've typed myself as soft natural for quite sometime until I did over the test because some of the clothing recommendations weren't working for me as well as a few of my sharp bones were never accounted for. I knew I was some kind of gamine just been back and forth between the different types. I've always had a love for high necklines and detail.

    Your info is helpful!! I’ve struggled forever trying to figure out where I fit. I fixated on my height which is 5’8” so I thought I had to be dramatic. I look terrible in dramatic lines. But and then thinking the only other option being natural lines. I drown in those lines lol. Thanks for clearing this up!!!
