The Jeans Episode: How Custom Denim Finally Solves the Fit Problem with Andre Ramirez of Neems

If you’ve ever cried in a fitting room, blamed your body, or wondered why jeans are so impossibly hard, this episode is for you. In this episode of Style Rebellion, hosts Blair Petroni and Erin Cox sit down with Andre Ramirez, co-founder of Neems, to talk about what’s actually broken in the denim industry, and how custom, made-to-order jeans are changing everything. Andre shares how years of frustration with off-the-rack jeans led him and his wife to build Neems: a custom denim company that uses precise body scanning technology, ethical manufacturing, and made-to-order production to create jeans that fit right out of the box. Together, Blair, Erin, and Andre dive into: Why off-the-rack jeans fail nearly everyone How Neems’ mobile body scan creates a true custom fit in under a minute Why tailoring after the fact often misses the mark Sustainability, ethical labor, and eliminating overproduction in fashion Neems’ “Clone My Jeans” program and why it’s a game changer Use the discount code “Maeve20” for 20% off your entire first order at neemsjeans.com.

What happens when a world built for straight lines meets a body made of curves? In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode of Style Rebellion, hosts Blair Petroni and Erin Cox sit down with former New York City Ballet and Miami City Ballet soloist Kathryn Morgan to talk about ballet, body image, and what happens when you finally stop fighting your shape and start dressing with it. Kathryn opens up about discovering she’s a Kibbe Romantic with a Dramatic essence, and how that realization reframed not only her personal style, but her entire career. From being told to lose weight, to navigating ballet’s rigid aesthetic standards, to reclaiming confidence through waist emphasis, costume choices, and self-expression. This conversation pulls back the curtain on an industry that rarely tells the full truth. Together, Blair, Erin, and Kathryn explore: Why Romantic bodies are misunderstood (and undervalued) in ballet The mental health toll of “fat talks” and aesthetic conformity How the right clothes can unlock confidence, artistry, and presence Why body positivity doesn’t lower standards, it raises them What ballet (and fashion) could become if more bodies were truly welcomed This episode is for dancers, creatives, and anyone who’s ever been told their body didn’t belong and decided to rebel anyway. Real bodies. Real style. Zero apologies.
