In today's episode, I am joined by Nik Ronca, known as Nik the Tailor, whose journey into tailoring is rooted in childhood creativity and a profound understanding of self-expression through clothing. As a non-binary parent and founder of the Tailored Collective, Nik emphasizes the importance of representing oneself authentically outside societal norms. Their Perfect Fit model, focusing on fit, form, function, and fancy, challenges traditional sizing standards and aims to provide clients with an empowering experience tailored to their unique identities and bodies. Through intimate fittings and thoughtful dialogue, Nik fosters a space where clients can embrace their bodies and clothing as extensions of their true selves, resulting in transformative experiences beyond mere alterations.
