“relaxed, original, bold”
The Original is much more than a style: it is a statement of authenticity for those who live without fear of expressing their creativity. This aesthetic has the relaxed touch of an artist in their natural environment, projecting carefree originality with bold details that do not go unnoticed. It is for those people who explore the world with a different, daring and genuine approach, always achieving an authentic and artistic look through their clothes.
The essences of Natural, Gamine and Romantic are fundamental to creating the unique aesthetic of “The Original.” Each of these essences brings specific qualities that, when fused, form a totally balanced style.
But also, you should know that this style is not static! Rather, it changes and adapts according to each person’s Kibbe type, so the mixture of essences together with your Kibbe will allow you to look and express yourself through fashion, in a unique way.
Depending on your Kibbe type, you will know if your look will maintain elegance and simplicity, but perhaps with more dramatic lines? Focusing on the delicacy in the details? Or why not with a more flirtatious and playful touch?
As you can see, this fusion of essences and their adaptation to each type of Kibbe will allow the style of “The Original” to feel personalized, comfortable and authentic. Celebrating the uniqueness of each person, “The Original” maintains a common thread of relaxed and bold originality, where minimalism meets artistic creativity.
This style mixes bold details with refined simplicity, bringing a playful and expressive touch that highlights your unique personality.
How is the original perceived?
People with this blend of essences are often perceived as naturally strong and unique, with a presence that stands out for its authenticity and confidence. They might have some of the following physical characteristics:
- Broad face
- Wide forehead
- Might have square jawline
- Wide nose
- Eyes might be the strongest feature
- Contrasting features (soft and broad)
Their physical features often communicate a sense of solidity and stability. The contrast between their soft and broad features adds a touch of warmth that creates a perception of someone who is genuine, confident, relaxed and artistic.
Disclaimer: an original usually shares some personality traits, but each case is different and while they might have similar physical features, the personalities might vary.

Of course, with this blend of essences, there will always be one that stands out as the dominant (or main) essence, shaping most of your style. Let’s explore how this style changes depending on which essence takes the lead.
**The order of the two complementary essences isn’t considered
Romantic
Natural + Gamine

The Romantic Original
(when Romantic is the main essence)
When Romantic is the main essence, the style is perceived as feminine and flirtatiously relaxed, with charming details that give it a touch of warmth and approachability. Garments will have a romantic feel with soft shapes and natural or lightly structured fabrics, such as cotton and wool, which provide comfort and ease. Gamine details, such as playful prints or fun accessories, contrast the softness and add an element of spontaneity.
For each type of Kibbe, these elements can be adjusted: in Kibbes from the Soft group, the romantic details will be more elaborate, while in the Flamboyant Kibbes comfort and boldness will predominate without losing the flirtatious and feminine essence.

(when Natural is the main essence)
When the Natural essence is dominant in The Original aesthetic, the style is characterized by comfort and freshness, striking a balance between romantic charm and playful energy. Garments are relaxed, with loose and light silhouettes, evoking an effortless aesthetic, preferably in soft, natural fabrics such as linen, cotton and chunky knit. Romantic touches are seen in delicate details, such as discreet lace or embroidery, while the gamine side adds touches of fun, whether in accessories or patterns.
For each type Kibbe Body Type, these elements will be tailored to the individual characteristics, for example: A pure Natural might lean towards thick textures and simple shapes, while a Soft Natural will have slightly more feminine and wraping details, and a Flamboyant Gamine will incorporate a contrast of relaxed lines with playful or bold details.

These are some posts that could also be helpful for you!
This series of blog posts are so helpful! They’re a great idea! Not a lot of people go into trips of essences so it’s really amazing to see this here! It scratches an itch in my brain, lol. I’m really looking forward to seeing my trio in the future (natural, ingenue, ethereal)!
I especially like the part you added where it shows what it looks like to have a larger portion of one essence over the others! That’s very helpful for figuring out which one you have/helping to style a different aspect of the same combo. I’ve never even heard of anyone talking about that, and I just think it’s super cool! Keep up the amazing work!
