For You Podcast I Episode 16 with Remi Bader

Introduction

Welcome back to the For You Podcast! In this episode, we discuss the increasing trend of young people ditching vaping, powered by Truth. I’m your host, Brent Nambronsky, and today, we have TikTok’s own Remi Bader, a fashion influencer known for her candid takes on the industry. Remi is a champion for body positivity and has gained popularity for her realistic clothing hauls, making fashion more inclusive for everyone.

Early Journey to TikTok Stardom

Remi's journey began after she graduated college in 2017 with aspirations of pursuing a career in PR and marketing. However, she faced challenges finding a job in the competitive music and entertainment industry, which spurred her to explore modeling opportunities. Influenced by her father, who works in the fashion industry, Remi decided to delve into plus modeling, starting with fit modeling before transitioning into print modeling.

The pandemic presented hurdles for Remi, as in-person modeling was limited. While searching for creative outlets, she turned to TikTok, sharing her humorous takes on body positivity and fashion. Though her initial videos about celebrity look-alikes didn't garner attention, one spontaneous video of her trying on outfits went viral, marking the beginning of her TikTok success.

Making Body Positivity Trendy

Remi emphasized the importance of showcasing the lack of size inclusivity in fashion. She noted that while many brands claim to promote body positivity, they often fail to provide extended sizing options, depriving many potential customers of stylish choices. Remi highlighted how this lack of representation affects individuals, particularly plus-size women who desire to wear fashionable clothes.

She discussed her recent collaboration with Aerie, a brand known for celebrating real women’s bodies, as part of her advocacy for inclusivity in fashion. Remi also spoke about the changing beauty standards—how they’ve evolved over the decades—but expressed the need for individuality in beauty rather than conforming to a single ideal.

In the fast-paced world of social media, Remi experiences both support and criticism from her followers. She expressed that while her honest discussions about her binge eating disorder have resonated with many, they also attract unsolicited advice from strangers online. This feedback can be overwhelming, leading her to take breaks from discussing certain personal issues.

Remi shared that she prioritizes her mental well-being and that approaching her struggles with balance is essential. She recognizes the significance of sharing her story but also understands the importance of self-care while navigating the complexities of social media fame.
