The Kibbe style essences are routed in the Tao philosophy of Yin, Yang, and the different combinations of the two. The archetypes below are the seven pure essences. More often our figures are a combination of two to three essences which leaves us with a total of 63 possible combinations and characteristics.
Seasons are divided into three palettes per season. In total, there are 12 palettes you can use to guide your style throughout the year.
Upon closer review of your skin, eyes, and hair and where they land on the hue, value, and contrast, and chroma scales, we will further determine which colours harmonize best with your natural colouring within the 12 possible palettes.

Using the Kibbe Archetype Method, which David Kibbe reevaluated and expanded on in the 1980s, I assist clients in identifying their style essence, body form, features, and particular colour palette to discover the comprehensive individual image of self.
I have developed specific services to consider, identify, develop and realize one’s particular aspiration of their own self-image. This syllabus will build confidence and awareness when selecting new garments and how to seamlessly incorporate pieces into the existing wardrobe.
My guidance stems from my theory of quality over quantity and how that plays into today’s fashion industry’s environmental awareness; the new fabrics created from recycled & sustainable fibers, the wave of new designer collaborations, and the repurposing and upcycling of former collections into new modern looks.
Additionally, I provide a portfolio designed for each client’s specific attributes. This guide will be a reference for one’s style essence, complementary clothing cuts, harmonizing colour pallet, and the tools to build one’s wardrobe.
This guide will ensure a cohesive style with no clothing gaps and the right amount of garments to navigate the seasons confidently. My services create an awareness of the balance between need and excess in your closet, so there is no unnecessary clutter. I will include a concise plan to organize and create a catalog of your staples, extras, accessories, shoes, and outerwear into a clear, understandable structure.
My custom portfolios help clients purchase items they need or need to replace. It highlights the pieces that can be mixed and matched across seasons. This will allow you to keep a detailed track of your garments, so you’re not unpacking your closet every time you get dressed and not buying the same pieces again and again because they’re not readily visible in your scope of vision.
This experience can be looked at as a program in progress as we are ever-changing, growing, and discovering ourselves through our lives in fashion.
