**The order of the two complementary essences isn’t considered
Dramatic
Gamine + Ingenue
=
The Dramatic Colorful Soul
(when Dramatic is the main essence)
When Dramatic is the principal essence in The Colorful Soul blend, the style takes on a bold, theatrical air, infused with the playful energy of Gamine and the delicate charm of Ingenue. This combination results in a look that feels both imposing and whimsical.
High-contrast or jewel tones paired with delicate pastel accents are a strong feature. Luxurious, structured fabrics can be balanced with lighter, softer materials to create unexpected harmony.
Dramatic lines dominate the silhouette with long cuts, exaggerated shapes, and asymmetry. These are softened by youthful, cropped proportions from the Gamine essence and delicate, rounded details influenced by Ingenue.
Depending on the type of Kibbe, you can adjust the level of structure or softness. For example, a Dramatic Kibbe may lean toward sleek, crisp tailoring with minimal embellishments, while a Soft Dramatic Kibbe may embrace flowing fabrics and ornate detailing. Gamines will thrive with shorter hems or playful layers, while Romantinc-leaning types can enhance delicate, feminine touches.

Gamine
Dramatic + Ingenue
=
The Gamine Colorful Soul
(when Gamine is the main essence)
The style becomes a vibrant mix of playful energy and artistic expression when the main essence is Gamine, although it is of course softened by the whimsical charm of Ingenue and the bold sophistication of Dramatic. This combination creates a look that feels spontaneous, creative and utterly unique.
Bright and vivid colours balanced with pastel or neutral accents will remain. Playful patterns, such as polka dots, stripes or small flowers, bring Gamine to life. Fabrics should be light and flexible, such as cotton, knit or jersey, but can be accented with structured or shiny materials such as satin or leather to add a touch of Drama.
Short proportions are characteristic of Gamine, with fitted blazers, short jackets or fitted trousers paired with shorter skirts or playful jumpsuits. Accessories are quirky yet refined such as colourful berets, huge earrings or statement shoes in unconventional designs.
And yes, you can clearly tailor this style to your Kibbe by considering structure, softness, or a mix of both. To give you an example: a Flamboyant Gamine can opt for bolder shapes and experimental combinations, while a soft Gamine can embrace more rounded silhouettes and delicate details.

Ingenue
Dramatic + Gamine
=
The Ingenue Colorful Soul
(when Ingenue is the main essence)
Finally, when Ingenue is the main essence, the style will be more innocent and charming, with a youthful charm, softened by the playfulness of Gamine and the boldness of Dramatic.
The color palette leans toward soft, pastel hues like blush pink, sky blue, and lavender, often paired with white or cream. Small, delicate prints are also a good option for you. And as for the fabrics, they are lighter and more flowing, but can be accented with structured or shiny materials.
The silhouette will be sweet and feminine, with A-line dresses, high-waisted skirts, puffed sleeves, and Peter Pan collars taking center stage. Layering remains playful, reflecting the influence of Gamine. Accessories are delicate and refined, but can be contrasted with some bold elements, like a dramatic hat or statement shoes, to embody the dramatic essence.
The softness of Ingenue can be adapted to different types of Kibbe. Whether with softer shapes and romantic details, or more extravagant accessories and bolder layers.
