The Body Talks with Chloé Dall'Olio

Ep 9: Louis Rubi - Dressing Beyond Gender, Shape, and Shame


Listen Later

Recorded in Paris from inside Louis Rubi’s working room, this episode is a fashion wake up call.

Louis is the founder of LR3, a designer quietly rewriting the rules of fit - not through “inclusive sizing” as a badge but by refusing the whole system. His clothes are built around volumes not sizes and the result is something most people have never felt in a fitting room: freedom.

We talk about why the industry makes so many of us feel wrong in the mirror and what happens when garments are designed to move with real bodies instead of being scaled from one narrow template. Louis shares the moment a client told him they could not buy clothes anywhere in Paris and the sentence Louis replied with that flips the whole shopping experience on its head.

This one is about clothes, yes, but it’s really about identity, energy, and permission - dressing beyond gender, shape, and shame.

In this episode

  • Why LR3 has no sizes and what “volumes” actually means

  • What freedom looks like in a mirror - when the “kid comes out” and people dance, cry, and play

  • “All of it will go on. Then it’s your decision if you feel good in it.”

  • The emotional truth of style - “If I feel good then and only then I’m going to look good.”

  • A rapid-fire moment where Louis basically breaks down the fashion industry in five minutes

  • A short breath practice together to drop into the body before we begin
