In this episode of the Style POV podcast, host Gabrielle Arruda welcomes author and style expert David Kibbe. The discussion centers around Kibbe's new book, which expands on his renowned style philosophies. Kibbe defines style as a visual language, a way of presenting oneself to the world, and stresses the importance of self-discovery and evolving personal style. They explore the relationship between individuality and fashion, the impact of fabric and silhouette, and the challenges of modern trends and marketing. 

Kibbe also emphasizes the journey of finding one’s authentic style, the pitfalls of societal conditioning, and the importance of head-to-toe cohesiveness in outfit choices. The conversation is rich with insights into how style is a process, a journey of self-discovery, and ultimately, an expression of one's true self.
