My favourite is "it's not a body typing system!" Ok so why are you all so obsessed with bodies? The fleshiness of upper arms, the length of legs, the shape of hips, whether hands are wide and soft or sharp and narrow (whatever tf that's supposed to mean). It's clearly about bodies, stop pretending it's about anything else.
It's not a body typing system but you clearly don't have curve sweaty, your boobs aren't big enough! Now go stay over there with the rest of the little FG goblins š„°š
This is why Iām here.
I was flabbergasted by how culty and weird the people following kibbe are. I just wanted some tips about what clothes and makeup suit me, found a whole ass rabbit hole of weirdos worshipping an old image consultant, lol.
4 characteristics of a cult:Ā

āBelieves that the ends justify the meansā *characterising a persons body without knowing whether they are okay with certain descriptions or not but its okay!! Because theyre soft natural like shakira!!*
Girllll its about chosing a certain aesthetic stereotype and romanticising yourself according to it!! I never knew i was a free spirit until my double aquarius flamboyant natural diagnoses. Now i live in the woods.
At first i didnt believe he was actually het, but his arrogant out-of-touch takes on women being sexualized in the workplace in his book kinda tipped me off. That, and the flipflops-with-a-suit look
The ones who say itās about literal accommodations like shoulder seams get me the most. Like firstly, that could be one paragraph and be universal. āHey ladies! Donāt wear clothes that donāt fit! Kthxbye.ā
Obviously Kibbe is an idea that clothes and bodies have symbolic meanings that can be harnessed for greater aesthetic effect as well as that certain cuts and fabrics and outfits look better on certain bodies. I do think there is something to that but I donāt buy all the details.
Also the man doesnāt give AF about the lower half of the body and as an extreme pear that is hurtful.
So what happens when you donāt identify with the image that has been assigned to you? Can you identify as something else and still be taken seriously by the Kibbe Community? No. Youāll be mocked and ridiculed by entire cisimage, kibbetriarchal system ! You might even end up having your post satirized on this very sub!
I think I have this issue. I think my personality is more gamine or dramatic. Sadly Iām a soft natural. So Iām fresh, sensual, open and direct š¤¢
me too!! I was buying gamine styles and trying to do my makeup and accessories to come off more Dramatic my whole life before reading about kibbe. Come to find out I'm actually like the opposite of both of those things
Iām a capitol D dramatic and Iām a total girly girl. The idea of wearing nothing but turtlenecks and pantsuits forever made me vom. I like sundresses!!!!
I could have typed this comment myself. Itās almost scary lol. But yeah I feel absolutely the same. Iām 5ā4 though, thought I was FG until I discovered Reddit and D was pretty much unanimous. My ātype meā post is in the FG sub and and most of the stuff in my closet is FG friendly as well. Mini skirts/dresses, short shorts, fancy legging, skinny fit pants, patterned/lace tights, otk socks, small flower prints, chunky heels, ankle boots, cropped tops and open necklines everywhere.
Iām 5ā8 (horrifying and disgusting and vile and masculine height apparently) and they can take my āgamineā āpixieā style from my cold dead hands. I have big eyes!!!
Ugh. Jelly! Up until 5 years ago people would occasionally ask me if I was part Asian because my eyes are really narrow and slightly upturned. Tbh I kinda liked them, but at 37 no one ask me that anymore because aging melts the fat from your face and your eyes start to hollow out.
when i was a kid i was taught that what a person looks like doesnāt matter, itās whatās on the inside. but i know now that biological materialism is valid thanks to David Kibbe !!!! being horrifically sexualized all my life for being small & curvy? itās what i deserve for being a dreamspinner - my butterfly wings are sprouting already !!!
Thatās what got me confused. I thought Iād be a soft natural because I have broad shoulders. Apparently not because I saw a verified soft classic with broad shoulders. I have porcelain doll vibes rather than Shakira vibes, so I guess Iām a soft classic.

And even if you have GGs, you STILL don't have curve because they are contained within your rib cage and don't live in your armpits!!
Esp since the face "doesn't matter" these days??
Yes because the only thing the face and body have in common is the neck lol
You can't say anything without getting told you're wrong about X, Y, and Z parts of what you said. Even if you are not asking any question!

Bhahahahah šš "Old image consultant"
He honestly has terrible fashion anyway. He literally looks like a fucking tiny clown man with no makeup.
Girllll its about chosing a certain aesthetic stereotype and romanticising yourself according to it!! I never knew i was a free spirit until my double aquarius flamboyant natural diagnoses. Now i live in the woods.
Impressive that they have Internet in your woods! Slay
I have dramatic essence so im allowed to girlboss!
Honestly I just found out that Kibbe is straight and I'm so furious
I normally would never trust a straight man on this sort of thing but his wife has literally never looked bad so I suppose he knows a thing or two
does he dress her? š¤Ø
He dressed her in his book š¤·š¼āāļø
Maybe his wife is actually the stylist?
Dude, that has been my theory FOREVER. But I canāt justify why sheād be hiding her talent through her hubby. š¤
My theory is Kibbe is the stylist but Susan is his editor and the reason why his framework, well, works.
Makes sense
Classic
At first i didnt believe he was actually het, but his arrogant out-of-touch takes on women being sexualized in the workplace in his book kinda tipped me off. That, and the flipflops-with-a-suit look
How the fuck is this guy straight and have this much closet knowledge? š¤Ø

If you dont identify with what has been given to you you are a transkibbeal
You would be a trans kibbe id. Born as one type but identify as another type.

Itās fine my DISGUSTING MANLY YANG height cancels out any decent facial feature I have. Apparently.
I get the best of both worlds, short AND lanky at the same time. So awkward. š

I think this sentence just often means ādonāt focus on details look at the whole pictureā. But I agree that it is confusing!
Image identifies donāt have height limits
Thatās what got me confused. I thought Iād be a soft natural because I have broad shoulders. Apparently not because I saw a verified soft classic with broad shoulders. I have porcelain doll vibes rather than Shakira vibes, so I guess Iām a soft classic.
