UPDATE: A lovely follower who saw Kitchener in person clarified that Liv Tyler is NOT largely Angelic (only 10%). She has striking contrast whihc puts her in the ROMANTIC + INGENUE blend. So if you have striking contrast, you may find yourself veering more into the Romantic essence 👍

I think it's quite difficult to find our essences ourselves. Sometimes we tend to "force" it a little, we want to see the traits of certain essence in us, because we find it attractive. I noticed that especially with an ethereal essence, because who wouldn't like to look like an angel 😉Other people see our real vibe, we can overlook it sometimes

ugh i love how you use women of all sizes, races and ages. thank you!! this is so beautifully put together and edited. thank you for also thinking of every question a viewer might ask and answering so eloquently 🤍

Great video! But thats IU (Lee Ji-Eun) at 26:57 not Jang MangWo. She is the lead in Hotel del Luna and a big K-pop artist.

I've been told I look like an alien, and I always thought I had almost dragon-like features. Knowing about my ethereal style essence has made me so much more accepting of these features! Great video

I have ethereal essence and this video helped me understand why flowy dresses and lightweight/transparent fabrics looked good on me. People have told me that I look like an angel when I wear clothes that are harmonious with my essence. Thank you for this video. It's very detailed and helpful! And I'm happy that you included other ethnicities because almost all the examples I've seen had Caucasian/white people and it made me feel as if us colored folk wouldn't have angelic/ethereal essence.

This is definitely my essence & it is pretty difficult to style on a daily basis! But now I understand why when I give up and just put on a gray oversize sweatshirt, a white oversize t shirt, or soft gray sweatpants, I actually feel so beautiful in them 😂

One of the most common compliments I get is how ethereal I look. I used to take that as an offense because even as a young child my grandpa would comment on how I looked as though I belonged in a renaissance painting and having an untrained eye for aesthetics I thought it just meant I looked ugly. But now that I am older i appreciate the ethereal so much!

Just FYI, Jang Manwol is a character played by a K-pop singer IU. :D I totally agree with your assessment though, btw. What's interesting also is that she's considered to be bright spring in color analysis, so ethereal folks can do quite bright colors, as long as it contains that "antique, otherworldly" quality to the clothes. :D

Stevie Nicks has been my style icon and favorite singer for decades, and I think she is a gorgeous example of the ethereal/angelic essence. Of all the essences, this feels the most authentic for me, although I feel most myself wearing black, scarlet, and blues and violet, especially in velvet, silk, and lace, maybe a blend of Victorian and fairy goth. 🔮🐦‍⬛🖤

Ive tried to have friends type me and ethereal/angelic comes up very often as a possible suggestion for me. I never saw it in myself because I’ve struggled with my weight and EDs my entire life and have body dysmorphia. It was very hard to find examples of Ethereal/Angelic women who weren’t tall, willowy, very thin and slender people who are for the most part Caucasian (and I am none of those things). I appreciate that you showed diverse examples here-people of different ethnicities and body types. I look best in the drapes and flowy silhouettes and lighter fabrics like you mentioned, even though in theory those clothes shouldn’t be flattering on me (I have more of a natural/gamine body) but I never saw ethereal in my facial features at all, but now that I saw your video maybe I can try assessing again. Thank you :)

I love how inclusive this video is! Seeing photos of different races, body types and even hair textures is so helpful. After watching so many videos with almost no diversity this was so refreshing to watch. Also, I love how you formate your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing and you have gained a new subscriber!

What's the chance you'll do indepth vids like these on combination styles? Like Classic+Ethereal. You've the best breakdowns of complex fashion/style sciences. For people like me who are on a journey of transformation & self-reinvention, this vid has been just fantastic!

Great video. I love how you used a variety of skin tones, sizes, etc for example pictures. Can’t wait for the rest of your essence breakdowns

Can’t wait for the rest of this series! You’re so thorough!

I've been told I resemble a mermaid, witch, LOTR elf, angel, vampire, fairy... but couldn't figure out how to not look so awkward in my "normie" clothes. I don't want to look like I'm always on my way to a Renaissance faire. This was so helpful, thank you!

this video made me realize I have way more ethereal essence than I thought...

And, yeah, great that you give the examples of asian/mixrace/black girl, that really helps to clarify things

I think the reason many people think there is crossover between ethereal and naturals is because of their often wide-set eyes. It gives that dreamy look. I often get told I look like a mermaid because of my wide-set eyes but I don't have any vertically long features in my face. (lol update: I'm a verified romantic w/ ingenue essence)

Thank you SO MUCH for doing the kibbe merge. I'm a SG with ethereal & ingenue essence and I kept feeling like SG and ethereal were kind of mutually exclusive.

I know this isn’t me AT ALL but still loved the video! Super helpful to see examples and think through what’s not going to work for me about them. A video on outfit photos would be bomb!

This was so illuminating for me personally bc I was very confused how I could be long and slim yet soft at the same time and how I looked good in long light flowy clothes even though my kibbe type contradicted that

I feel fairly confident I'm primarily Ethereal but with about 30% Natural but also saying I'm Ethereal makes me feel a little the middle school girls who insist their eyes change colors because they want to be special 😝 but the amount of times I've been called a cryptid, been called graceful and mysterious and the amount of times I startle people because I move so delicately and quietly I feel like I have to be an ethereal. All my fave clothes are light and flowy and flutter in the wind, but they're all very earthy and natural

I found out I was a soft autumn yesterday and realized I was Ethereal and Romantic !!! These videos really helped confirm that!! I'm so sure I'm a soft natural in kibbe tho

I'm like... a sprite. A mixture of gamine and angelic, like bjork. I'm proud of that lol. I may have a tiny dip of dramatic in how I do my eyes but it's like 20%. This is so in depth I love it.

Angelic essence is mesmerizing, one of my favorites, but I'm so glad I don't have it in my blend because it seems so hard to accommodate. I'll settle with just admiring these goddesses from afar haha

Super informative and professional as always, love how practical and concise your approach is. Hoping to see more about Natural essence, especially what is different from the ID type ☺️

Thank you for this wonderful exploration! I was analyzed by John Kitchener with a 30%/25% Natural and Angelic split. So I lead with Natural, but interestingly, none of my recs are actually what you think of as strictly Natural other than being soft and comfortable. In fact, he really talked more about the Angelic than the Natural type with me. That puzzled me for a long time.

I feel that high contrast or really low contrast creat a similar striking other worldly effect. The high contrast might pull more romantic but I think it depends on overall vibe. For example, Cate Blanchet looks like an angel while Keria Knightly looks like a fairy. If that makes sense.

YESSSSSS I hope you're going to do this for all the essences! I have a mismatched body type + essence combo (soft dramatic with gamine essence) and seeing how you would marry those 2, like you showed near the end by going through each style ID, would be so helpful! I absolutely love your videos and all the examples you always put in them. Just absolutely top notch for helping me to understand how to implement these systems

This is so exciting!!! Can’t wait to watch 💗

This was so wonderful! I would love to see ingenue (youthful) with some examples of women over 50. Thank you!

i remember in school my sister would always use me for her art because it was easier for her, and her teacher would always compliment how angelic my face was. i think it is a mix of my slight upturned eyes, round face, pointy chin and round mouth. i never really understood why flowey clothes looks better on me, such a great video 💕

I would love to see a deep dive on the natural essence! You are the best at explaining these 🤩

This is not my essence but the level of detail and care in your videos about essences always give me a creativity boost to draw my original character designs, It gives me an essence as the character foundation and help me to make them cohesive based in the outfits and hair recommendations you give for it. Thank You 💙

This is great, I LOVE how you adapt these ideas to casual/workout/etc outfits that people can actually wear! Really excited for the series. I think I have dramatic and angelic essence (angular features/jawline but with rounded edges and I think I look better in softer materials), so it's an interesting challenge figuring out how to apply both...

Beautiful! I loved the diversity of examples you've brought and the fact that it is possible for high constrast women to have this essence and adopt some style elements into our wardrobe. 🧚🏻‍♀️🧜🏻‍♀️

Don't have ethereal essence but watched anyway because I always get some ideas to take away. I'd love to see a video like this for every essence

Omg I can't believe that you just dropped this video. This gives a name to everything that I love to wear ❤️ thank you so much for spreading this style advice ❤️ I've been longing for this guide so long.

Wow! So much amazing info. You’ve opened up a whole new world for me - and I now enjoy people watching and picking their essences! And yes please for the outfit picture series analysis video!

I’m learning so much through your videos. Thank you!

Yes!! What a great video. It was so helpful to see a range of different ethereal people and styles. as I'm learning more about Kitchener essences, I think ethereal is an often overlooked part of my essence. No wonder Greek goddess was my favorite Halloween costume 😜

This was excellent! I appreciate how in-depth you go on this essence. Can’t wait for the ingenue & gamine videos!

I always get so pumped when you upload a new video! Love your channel!

I'm so glad I found your channel! Can't wait for any the types but especially ingenue! I feel like it's probably the least socially acceptable for anyone over the age of 16 because of the "fashion rules" we've all been brainwashed with

This was sooo good! Thank you, thank you! Interestingly, as I was looking at some of the examples, I realized as a soft gamine with a gamine/ingenue/classic essence, there is a bit of overlap between ingenue and angelic. I would totally wear a faux fur sweater, puffed sleeves, and pastels, but it’s going in a different direction. I can’t wait to see all of these videos! You’re amazing!

Thank you so much for this video!! You really broadened my horizons :) Would love a whole series on this - Ingenue or Natural next, maybe? Take your time, know it will be worth it!

Another great video. So helpful. I love your insightful analysis of the different blends of essences. Helped me to realise that probably I have a touch of this essence in my face and how I can accommodate in my clothing (which I have been sort of doing without quite realising why). Many thanks. Xx

Fascinating topic, thank you!! Looking forward to the rest of this series, especially classic and romantic essences.

Wow, this is so informative! I’ve binged several of your videos and I’m fairly sure I’m ethereal-ingenue-romantic essence. I just floated the idea to my husband, and, without explaining any of the types, he immediately agreed. When I broke them down slightly more, he agreed more. Ethereal feels most at home to me and how I would dress all the time (in elven, flowy gowns) all the time if it was suitable for dog walking and cat box cleaning! I love how much detail you go into, and the amount of photos you show it’s so very helpful! Thanks for helping me finally understand the essences and feel at home with them!

Thank you for doing such a thorough and as always, unique presentation. Your perspective was ever so illuminating!

So happy I found this! Great video!

I so appreciate that you have so many variations of the different types in each of your videos, and of varying ethnicities and size/shapes too! So so helpful for someone like myself who doesnt fit conventional beauty standards! ❤

19:35 Yes, It would be so awesome to get video on evaluating outfit photos from you! 🤩 Thank you for all hard work and attention to details.

Fantastic Video!!! (Your likes at over 10% so far and that seems to be a reflection of the quality of information you are providing). I believe I am a kibbe soft natural and I love some of the casual wear examples that would work for that type.

Perfect video for me, who realised to has quiet a lot of ethereal essence. Thank you so much!!!😎🤩🧚🏼‍♀️ The narrow elongation in my upper torso, neck, hands, feet, and face (shape, placement of my eyes, nose, cheaks) is very prominent, being a low contrast soft autumn and my vibe fit this! Cate Blanchet has always been my favourite style icon. Once a professional stylist told me I remind her of Tilda S, which I couldn't see in my features, besides having really fair skin. But thinking ethereal this makes sense now. I am a dc, pear, 1.67m, chasing my lovely toddler, but soon back in office (connect to, advice and even inspiring people). My hair has grown ethereal in the last years, soft long waves, which is a great boost for this essence. Yeah! I love art nouveaux. Now I have a reason to look forward to this kind of jewellery in my wardrobe😍 I find myself puzzled about how much I want to go in this direction, so your advice to slowly increase and observe will be put to action. - my son just woke up - sending lots of love for all your advice!

I love your videos they’re so professional and informative pleases never stop

Perfect timing--I've been doing a deep dive into 16th century dress for an eventual (first) Ren Faire and I've since realized how easy it would be to bring some of those elements (hair, jewelry, color palette) forward to the present day. I think it's also possible to bring in an ethereal look via scarves, wraps, shawls, capes--as in, say, the Irish ruana. (And I now know how I pulled off a peach parfait of an evening gown with ruching in my early twenties--35% ethereal essence is enough to make itself noticed, I think.) Thank you so much for this latest!

Only way I know I have ethereal/angelic qualities is because strangers will tell me I look like a fairy, mermaid or avatar, often. And everything you’re saying does make sense

Well done. Thanks, Gabrielle!

This is the best video!! I really needed help combining the ethereal essence with cold weather. 🙌

I can't wait to see your breakdown of ingenue!! I think this essence is so difficult to balance with any of the others, since the strong yin can be so easily overwhelmed and contrasted by classic or natural touches.

So I’ve just discovered your content and I feel so incredibly excited to both binge your past content and await your new content with baited breath!!!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SO ACCESSIBLE!!!! This is what us normie fashion fans who don’t live in the fashion hubs NEED in our lives. Thank you soooo much!

Thank you so much for this thorough video! Really enjoyed it :) I'm hoping for natural and dramatic next ♥︎

What a WONDERFUL video! Much more than a video, it's a lesson about Kibbe body types , ethereal essence, and how to blend and interpret it all. THANK YOU 🤗

Seeing the different everyday casual outfits and the everyday outfits on the kibbe types was so helpful! I have ethereal essence and I'm always trying to strategize how to make it work everyday! I also got a good picture of how the ethereal essence works for different body types. I think some of the pieces I have bought and tried to wear have been ethereal but for a gamine or romantic body type and they never quite feel like I'm hitting the mark with my more dramatic frame even though they were totally ethereal elements. Now I see why! Body type and kibbe and your style altogether!

i very much appreciate the contrasting pictures, when you talk about fabrics and patterns, helps me understand it better.

Loving all your videos!

Thank you for showing a plus sized ethereal! 🥰

OMG u suit this so much! I think u definitely suit the light flowy mystical vintage vibes! I think when ur trying to go for feminine/pretty this is it for u!

Thank you so much for this wonderful video!! I'm an hourglass flamboyant natural with ethereal essence. Since my style journey, I've noticed that I can easily wear shiny and glittery fabrics and smaller, ornated jewellery. Which is usualy seen as too glamorous and too detailed for FN. I guess it is because of my essence that I can wear these things.

This is fantastic. Seriously. If you plan to tackle all the essences, I cannot wait.

Oh, i love this video 💛💎 I think I can say that I have the ethereal essence in my blend, I am often told that I look angelic… I am a soft dramatic in the Kibbe system, and I find both essences to go together quite harmoniously…. It feels like home to me… by the way, you look very beautiful and stunning in this dark puffy dress, very dramatic 💎❤️‍🔥

i feel like i have an otherworldly face but in more of an alien way than a angel way. sharpness does compliment me

Love love loooooveee ittttt !! Can't wait for other essences in this series (hopefully classic & dramatic would be up sooonn )

Your videos are insanely helpful, thankyou!!🦢☁️🧚🏻 I’m dominantly angelic essence ! Snow fluffy boots in colder months are all I can wear, In summer I wear no shoes 90% of the time. Most Shoes are too harsh for me. I am in flowing comfortable natural materials as much as I can be, (I’m soft dramatic body type.) I always go for soft fluffy textures to compliment my facial structure. I’m 28 now and when I was younger I went through so many looks to find my personal style! I wish I had found this typing system sooner as it is truly so helpful🤍💫

Yes please on a video analyzing outfit photos!! I can’t tell if I’m making progress, or making things harder on myself by taking pictures. It’s very confusing to look in the mirror and feel good about an outfit and then take a pic and look at it and see something disjointed. This video was extremely helpful. I’d love to see a video like this one about gamine essence, and how it shows up in different types/blends.

Loved this video and love your channel! Your videos are always so well thought out and informative. Would love to see a video on naturals next 🤍

I don't know why, but whenever I see Jessica Chastain I feel like she has this ethereal essence. In movies like "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" or "Crimson Peak" she gives me that vibe.

Wow this really helped me and made sense about the dramatic outfits being too strong and overwhelming for this type, also the part about abstract shapes being better than hyper-realism….so fascinating

This is EXTREMELY helpful. I can't find one content before about Ethereal essence that can make me understand my essence.

Your videos are like courses in and of themselves. Thank you for your work!!

Fantastic video!. Loved it!🥰

Dear Gabrielle, thank you so much for all your insights and informations. You‘re videos help a lot to understand how to apply the different essences on oneself and to recognize also what I have already in my wardrobe. So much appreciated your content 💗 love your editing and your personality. 🌷🌟 xoxo Lizzy

As someone with a dominant Angelic Essence, I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

Wow thanks for your work Always knew about myself I have an ethereal essence But you video made me clarify it

I think I may have ethereal essence which makes sense to me now you explained this beautifully

This was SUCH a good video. Omg.

Haven't even watched the video but I know what this is about. I'm so glad you're covering this

this was so useful, absolutely fantastic and a video I will definitely keep revisiting. literally was searching for something like this a couple days ago

I really like how you explain they origin of the classification systems. It clarifies a lot. Also, thank you for the examples

I’ve been wearing uggs all my liiiife I feel they fit angelic essence perfectly

Yes please re video on evaluating outfit photos!

Halle Bailey is a very good example of an angelic essence

Wow this is definitely me, I wish I had found this yrs ago. I had to figure a lot of this out the hard way. I'm so glad to have some guidelines finally. I think I'm also romantic and ingenue I think it was?? I have to go back. But I'm so glad to incorporate into my wardrobe now. Thank you! Too bad I found this at 40 instead of 18 lol

girl I love your videos so much, I would love it if you could put in timestamps for each section, so we can go back to certain parts that we want to go back to

New subscriber here, love your take on Kibbe and here to learn more about Kitchener types as I'm fairly new to him. Can't wait for more! I think my essence blend is natural, ethereal and still debating others. Lets see what I think when I see more videos! Maybe essence can finally explain why strangers always seem to not hesitate approaching me while I like to be left alone and try to look the part lol.

This was so informative! After the video I feel certain I have ethereal essence. I would say that my mix is ethereal(40) ingenue (40) natural( 20). Waiting for your video on natural essence!

Loved the video! Thanks KZfaq for recommending me your channel!! I'm a classic (maybe soft classic) and thought I love my preppy and put-together looks, I also enjoy much edgy takes accessorized with chains and thick chokers, plaid pleated skirts and black are my go-to and crop tops with cut outs and this trend of subversive basics is quite fun. I didn't knew about the Kitchener system until now, and it makes so much sense! I'm guessing I have a classic, dramatic essence, maybe ingenue mixed in there cause I can pull off those frilly, delicate girly looks pretty well too and maybe better than the more dramatics and there is where I got confused lol. I like my darker outfits, they make me look severe and a little intimidating even when it's just a black turtleneck and a tight slick bun and that's fun, but it puzzles me how that works with the ingenue essence there. Even more weird, I'd like to try and see if there's ethereal in my essence, I love my hair because it makes me feel like a pre-raphaelite muse, it's mid thigh length, wavy and voluminous and it may help me with that ethereal look but big flowy clothes just eat me alive, so let's see what happens. Thank you so much for this videos! I'd love to see one about the classic essence, since you said Kitchener sees it as a balanced mix of yin and yang, it'll be interesting to see if there's an explanation for my "sweet goody-too-shoes to colder-than-death-looking bitch" syndrome lol! Thank you again and keep up with this awesome videos!!! 💖💖💖

Finally, a style I can identify with. I am a flamboyant natural but always am drawn to the Angelic vibe clothes and Jewellery. I guess I found my way myself but having it as part of a system will help me get everything working together. Interested in make up for this as well.
