Physical Features of a Flamboyant Gamine
Compact frame with long arms and legs relative to torso. Small waist with angular, defined features. Sharp jawline, prominent nose, high cheekbones, wide eyes, and thin lips. Petite with striking, energetic presence.
Note: Modern Kibbe emphasizes overall line, silhouette, and how fabric drapes on the body rather than checking off individual features. These physical descriptions serve as general guides to understand each type's accommodation needs (vertical, width, curve, petite), not as strict checklists. Your Kibbe type is about what your body needs in clothing, not matching every listed trait.

Flamboyant Gamine Sketch Lines
Understanding your Kibbe type starts with analyzing your body's natural lines. Our 3D sketch line process reveals the unique bone structure and flesh distribution that defines the Flamboyant Gamine silhouette.
Our Process: We use advanced 3D body scanning technology combined with AI-powered line tracing to create accurate sketch lines. This helps our system accurately measure your proportions and visualize if your dominant element contains vertical or curve, as well as your additional elements, that combined, create your Kibbe type.

Original Photo
A full-body photo is captured with neutral pose and minimal clothing to accurately assess body proportions.
3D Body Mesh
Using advanced 3D body scanning, we generate a precise mesh model that captures the exact body geometry and proportions.
Sketch Lines
The mesh is traced into clean contour lines that highlight the key features: shoulder slope, waist definition, and hip curves.
Silhouette Description
You need an outline that includes a combination of two things: 1) a base of one long line moving straight downward close to the body, 2) on top of this, detail/separate pieces/accessories that add breaks to the base. When one is looking at you, the eye needs to travel downward in a staccato fashion. You need to keep your base close to the body. Any flow needs to move down, not out, and have the same breaks. Detail is crucial to your silhouette.

Fabric Flow
The imaginary fabric shows a compact frame with a vertical line that stays close to the body. The petite nature means everything is compressed into a smaller overall package.
Modern Method: Sketching and Cloth Flow is the most modern method of discovering your Kibbe Image Identity, as written by David Kibbe in his Power of Style (2024) book. Learn more about the sketching approach
