A brief overview
In the rapidly changing world of fashion, it is difficult to find people who have influenced this industry as much as Remi Bader. A down-to-earth, funny, and truthful vlogger in the world of fashion in TikTok, Remi is a strong force in this industry in her fight for size equality in fashion. From her viral haul videos to her influence in this industry, her story is inspiring as well as an eye-opener.
The beginning of Remi Bader’s immensely popular TikTok account is, of course, much like that of everyone else’s, in that she began by wanting to express her own views on fashion. Where she differed, however, is in how authentic her postings appeared to be. As in, most of what people call “hauls” involve beautiful models wearing beautiful outfits, but what she did, aside from trying out samples from trendy lines, is highlight what those same products would look like for real, in terms of a woman who has actual curves, meaning that fashion isn’t just about looking good, but also feels at ease in what she is wearing.

Bader’s down to earth, easy-to-relate-to personality quickly resonated with her target audience. Her account, which now has millions of followers, soon became a platform for her audience to get to experience fashion from a completely different perspective, one of body positivity, calling for increased diversity in fashion representation.

As her fan base increased, her platform also expanded. What began as an avenue to vent her ire at poorly designed apparel turned into an inspiring force for inclusivity in size. As quoted in interviews, Bader has been candid about her issues in relation to the fashion industry’s restrictive definition of beauty standards. As she explained, “Just because I like it doesn’t mean it’s inclusive, it’s just catering to people who look like I do.” She challenged designers who purportedly promote inclusivity but failed to cater to different-sized individuals, including those who wear bigger sizes.
Her honesty did more than spark conversation; it led to action. That’s because Bader is now a brand advocate for body-inclusive companies, working in partnership with companies who actively work to incorporate more of her size. She even collaborated with large companies like Revolve to include 4X in her line, which is an accomplishment in itself for fans who have been left out of more than just conversation in the past.
From TikTok Star to Fashion Icon
The impact of Bader does not just end at the platform of TikTok for her influence is also felt in other ways, as she has used her platform to break down conventional standards of beauty in fashion campaigns, demonstrating to the world that inclusive fashion is more than just an upcoming trend, but the future. She is more than just an influencer; she is a trailblazer in her partnerships with fashion brands at top fashion events.
Her association with Victoria’s Secret Pink is an important event in her otherwise eventful story as an adult entertainress. Historically, this brand has promoted a body shape, but this brand is in the process of changing this dynamic, and her association is an important unit of this process of transformation as she confessed to an interviewer, “When I first laid eyes on their sizelines, I doubted them, but partnering with them has definitely been a step in the right direction.”
The Road Ahead: A Movement, Not Just a Moment – Remi Bader TikTok Revolutionized Size-Inclusive
However, her story is far from over as she keeps pushing boundaries to bring more voices to her community in the plus-size fashion industry by encouraging people to love themselves regardless of their figures. “Size inclusivity is more than just offering a few more sizes in a line – it is changing how the industry as a whole perceives beauty,” said Bader in a panel discussion at a recent fashion summit.
With people like her at the front of this movement, fashion’s future is looking brighter than ever before, and as inclusive as it’s ever been.
