  • If you want to find your unique style, David Zyla's archetype system may just change the game. In this video I break down the 24 Archetypes found in his book Color Your Style. Finding my style/colour season archetype has been incredibly helpful for me to streamline my style, I would say its the first thing in many months that has really resonated with me.

    eldrich is a old world for uncanny, unsetling, many times people refer to the works of H. P. Lovecraft as being eldrich (there's even a table top game called eldrich horror that is looselly based on his world populated by old terrifying god monsters that rise from the depths)
    a beatnik on the other hand were a movement of american writers and artists around 1950-1960, they went against society norms and conducts, wrote books about the bohemian life or life on the road or being poor in LA trying to make a living writing and lived outside the mainstrem. I guess we could enrage them and say they were the hipsters of yore

    Even though this systems seems quite interesting since it mix personality and style I found it to be more useful for character creation purposes. If you have an idea of a character and his personality you can draw inspiration of their fashion from these archetypes.
    I'm a winter and I don't relate to the style recommendations nor the personality descriptions of the winter archetypes

    This seems to be a fun archetype theory to experiment with but does not have any actual bearing to connect to a person's style. I'm a muted autumn. The only ones I related to were dusky summer and antique winter, and most of the lines are too heavy for me. Personality completely off. But this was fun.

      If you have trouble fitting yourself into the 12 seasons system, you may have an olive undertone. It's not a given, but the majority of olives struggle to put themselves into one category in this system (e.g. I am a pale warm olive, but my dark blue-green eyes, ashy blond hair etc. send me to the summer category. At the same time, the colours that actually look good on me are in the autumn category, some from the deep autumn, some from the soft type, but I do not truly fit nicely in any of the autumn subcategory, and I can even borrow from the dark winter and soft summer - go figure).

  • @windkind

    It's so fascinating how kibbe, zyla and your style roots complement and overlap each other.
    I'm a true summer and though I look best in irdidescent summer colors, I'm really drawn to the dusky summer.
    Then I realized the cut of the clothes seem to be just perfect for a soft natural (which I am) and "earth mother" ist very in tune with my mushroom, earth and fire style roots.

    I love the way you’ve laid all these out, and your commitment to only quoting his book and Pinterest.
    However, for those DIYing, I’d caution against using the personality associations as the main way to lead to one’s archetype. It’s not simply about which one you relate to most on a deep level (for example, I’m a Sunset Summer which is a thoughtful and sensitive archetype, but I have a silly side, a severe side, etc). It’s more of, “what impression do you give off?” or “what character would you be cast as in a movie?” David speaks more about this on one of his episodes of “Feel Good Beauty” on CZcams, I believe it’s episode 3.

    The Gamine Autumn (the stylish beatnik), the Soft Winter (the romantic poetess) and the Jeweltone Summer (The Glamorous Career Girl) resonated most with me. I'm very soft-spoken, but mythology always interests me. I love learning and being the one in the group who's the "smart one" or "knows things."
    I'm very attracted to Goth and Gothic styles, but I like hints of gentility or sweetness. Like, if Persephone (the Greek goddess of spring AND the underworld) had a closet full of corporate wear...that would be my dream wardrobe.
    It's hard to pinpoint my exact style archetype since women who look like me are typically shoved into the autumn color season category. 🍂

    @marta83809 Před rokem +14

    Please don't shoot me Ellie, but I feel like this system is not it. As a dramatic autumn with a very "gamine-ish" personality and style I have always longed for a guideline that matches personality and style. However now that I've seen it in practice, it is not ideal. I can see stylex personality work and I can see stylexbody/coloration work. But stylexpersonalityxcoloration is too much. This is because looks and personality have no correlation (I'm the main example of it). This system gives us categories based on colors (which I'm fine with) but he lets the colors define a part of the personality. Autumn has options that have either earthy or fierce/loud/strong in them. And I just don't relate to that, which leads me to wanting to be "another season". This reminds me of the wrong interpretation of kibbe, where a certain body type meant a certain aesthetic. I'm scared that this may have a bit too much of that influenced in here. This is obviously my personal expierience and I'm happy if this helps others, but to me, it's a flawed system.

      I'd also like to add that I'm aware that all of these systems are meant to take for personal interpretation. (I'm watching your lifestream in bits and it's very entertaining and interesting). That may work for other systems because they always leaver either body or personality open. (Your roots are personality meets style, while bodytypes are body meets style), so they allow us to match it with our missing element in the unique combination. However, this system has all areas covered in only 26 subtypes? (Edit: just checked and apparently it's even 24..) It feels difficult to interpret them without feeling like breaking them, because he has supposedly done all the matching for us.

Na verdade deveriam parar de dar diagnósticos prontos para as pessoas e ensinar elas como se autoobservar, a autoobservaçao é uma ferramenta que todas nós temos e tercerizamos. E dar diagnóstico de personalidade é para quem é formado em psicologia( e profissional dessa área com ética também nem faz isso), agora fica esses estilistas dizendo que personalidade você é baseado em cores e vozes das suas cabeças.

    Nice video! You pronounced "impresario" right 😊 A beatnik was a counterculture figure from the 40s/50s; they were against the consumerist/conformist society. From a fashion perspective, their stereotypical outfit was all black, black berets, black turtlenecks, hanging out in coffee shops, listening to jazz and reading the existentialists. So, in today's reference, kind of emo meets hipster, I guess?

  • @shachardl5360
    @shachardl5360 Před rokem +2

    This is way better for me! I cannot figure out what my color seasons are or my body type, but it’s so easy to pick out my favorite style seasons (mostly springs, a couple summers and one winter), which is fascinating. If I can stick to my favorites, maybe that’ll make it easier to figure out what my body type is?

    Oh my gosh. Thank you for this! I would LOVE to see you make a video (or better yet, a series) on how to combine your Zyla and your Kibbe types. I've now figured out all my "types". I'm definitely a playful winter, that description fit me to a T, and i especially loved the "ballerina" tagline as I am a dancer! I know now that I'm a playful winter, bright spring, and a flamboyant gamine and I'm excited to see how I can bring that all together.

    I'm pretty sure I'm some type of spring in color analysis, but none of these spring archetypes were exactly me personality or clothing taste wise. But then the jeweltone summer came along and HIT IT. I love that style, those colors and the personality description is pretty spot on too. I didn't think I'd fine one archetype that resonated that well, definitely following the moodboard now 😁

  • @Deem57

    I've gone through Zyla's book a few times, even managing to identify "My True Colours" using paint sample strips, but I've been stuck on the archetypes. Now that I see the images in your video, I think I've figured out that I'm a Mischievous Spring, which certainly explains why I don't suit a suit. Thanks!😁

    The beatnik was the 1950s hipster. Not in the poodle skirt and angora sweater, she’s wearing the pencil skirt, ribbed turtle neck sweater, beret, smoking a cigarette, listening to jazz (bebop), and reading poetry.
    These archetypes are so interesting, remind me of Olga ???? Polish stylist who talks of Fairytale, Moon, Royal, English Rose, Mermaid, etc. Hers fold in Kibbe

    I think I found my match in The Mysterious Mermaid, I'm a Soft Summer that looks good in low contrast and I have an ethereal look about me. I think the personality description sort of fits me too. Quirky, airy, light-handed at least when it comes to the pressure I put on my pencils, and straightforward.

    Oh my gosh. This was the video I didn’t know I needed! While all of the Winters were gorgeous and interesting, I think I’m somewhere between a Soft Winter and a Dynamic Winter…maybe a little bit of the Antique Winter. I’m an historian and antiquarian- and I love pulling fashion and decor inspiration from old things. My home is curated to look and feel like a museum + art gallery + old English cigar room- if you can imagine that. 😂 But this was definitely the style advice that clicked for me.

    I would say the Stylish Beatnik comes closest to my style. I love a good signature piece, and I actually just thrifted this hideous and perfect multicolored paisley jacket/dress thing that suits me better than anything else in my wardrobe besides maybe my cream faux fur cropped jacket. It’s so versatile on account of the multitude of colors, and the paisley pattern gives it a very Gram Parsons vibe that I love.

    I was thinking the Spring "pixie and maverick" sounded a bit more like me as a petite gamine-ish older woman. I can certainly find some style elements I like to embrace within each season. But, I had my colors many done years ago. The "Playful Winter" would best apply to me having medium contrast, but with a dramatic yet simple style. I look forward to learning more about Zyla. Thank you, Ellie Jean, for creating informative content for all ages.

  • @charlie4443
    @charlie4443 Před rokem +1

    I feel like style categorization could benefit from a 3-aspect sliding scale the way the coloring categorization does. You could do classic to dramatic (proportion/structure/silhouette), sleek to intricate/elaborate (physical/sewing/3D details), and solid to bold (pattern/pattern size). I think the combination of those sliding scales would work to give you just about every type of style and then you can add in color/contrast in combination with any of them. This is just a thought, so there could be more than 3. I think the proportion/structure/silhouette category in particular should maybe be more than 1.

    From what I can see, I'm a Bronze Autumn who can pull from Copper Autumn looks without losing credibility, although for a hodgepodge of reasons I've been dressing more Mellow Autumn (which of course backfires spectacularly). I note Zyla pulled a great deal from Suzanne Caygill in the terminology and typology. (Also a Bronze Autumn in Caygill who can draw on Metallic Autumn looks, Dark Autumn who sometimes pulls from True Autumn in the contemporary 12-season system.) And yes, you pronounced "impresario" correctly on the first go.

  • @arissaiglinski482
    @arissaiglinski482 Před rokem +1

    I think I'm Mellow Autumn. It's a little hard for me because I have a natural skin tone. But I shine in creams and golds, and where prints look clownish on me, I can get away with bold pieces of clothing like gold jackets and structured blazers and pencil skirts. I did resonate with some of the summers too though
