I think I've just always been a really open person. What's it like being vulnerable to your followers about your issues with eating and being a role model for body positivity? Positive, negative, whatever it is, I just want to connect with people. I think a reason I connect with my followers so well is that I try to respond to every comment. A lot of my friends text me telling me to stop reading the comments, but, realistically, you're not gonna stop. Sometimes I legitimately don't care about the comments, and then sometimes they really get to me. How do you block out the negativity you may get from the Internet? How do you cope with it? I'm like, I haven't overcome any of this, I'm going through it with you guys and you can follow along and struggle with me. There are influencers out there who speak on overcoming something and then become a leader in that space because of it. What do you think sets you apart from every other influencer? And just because a piece of clothing doesn't work on me doesn't mean it's not going to work on anyone else. They may want to work with me or send me stuff so I don't bash them again, but I still do the Realistic Hauls after. A lot of people say things like "They just are using you as the token plus-sized girl because they just don't want to look bad." I get it. It actually boosts my confidence a little more to see that all these people are very supportive of wanting the industry to change as well-regardless of what their size may be.Īnd listen, I'm not an idiot. People ask me about when I go on Revolve trips or things like that, like, how do I not feel insecure when I might be one of the only plus-sized people? But, to be honest, it makes me feel the opposite. Is there anything about it-whether it be the people or the brands-that has surprised you?
You were really thrust into the fashion-influencing world.
What started off as a fun lil activity that she did to pass time during the panini turned into a whole career thanks to her viral video calling out PrettyLittleThing's sizing.Ĭosmo got the chance to chat with Remi about her role in the fashion world, what it's like being super vulnerable on the Internet, sponsored trips, her modeling career (she just signed with Muse Management, BTW!), and more below. They don't know the emotional behind-the-scenes stress she has to deal with and the pressure that comes with having almost two million followers. Widely known for her realistic hauls on TikTok-where she gives straight-up, no bullsh*t reviews on brands, and specifically on the plus-size clothing offerings-she has become a prominent voice for size inclusion in the fashion industry.īut there's MUCH more to Remi that her supporters aren't able to see in, ya know, a minute-long video or a chic Instagram pic. The 26-year-old influencer, who lost her job just a little less than a year ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic, quickly built an empire on TikTok that's all about honesty, authenticity, and self-love. But for content creator Remi Bader, this was her actual reality. It's not every day you go from working a corporate job to being a social media star.
