Soft Gamine

Petite and lively with delicate feminine softness

What Does Soft Gamine Mean?

The Soft Gamine Kibbe type is petite with slightly rounded bones and soft, delicate flesh. They have a small, rounded frame with a lively, charming quality. Soft, feminine pieces with some proportion interest and delicate detail suit them naturally.

Soft Gamine women combine the small, lively frame of the Gamine family with a softer, more rounded quality. Their bones have some of the delicacy of the Romantic family but their overall scale and energy is still Gamine. The result is a type that looks best in feminine, delicate pieces with some proportional interest. Very angular or structured pieces feel too hard, very elongated pieces overwhelm the petite scale and purely sweet or girlish pieces without any Gamine liveliness can feel too one dimensional.
