Lululemon Founder Criticizes Company's Diversity Efforts

Chip Wilson's Controversial Comments Spark Backlash, Lululemon Distances Itself

Lululemon founder Chip Wilson criticizes the company's diversity and inclusion efforts, suggesting that some women are too fat to wear the brand's yoga pants.
Wilson, who is no longer involved with Lululemon, argues that the brand is trying to be 'everything to everybody' and should be clear about not wanting 'certain customers' to wear its products.
Lululemon immediately distances itself from Wilson's comments, emphasizing its commitment to diversity and inclusion and stating that it is a 'very different company' since Wilson's departure.
Wilson's comments have sparked controversy, with many criticizing his views as discriminatory and damaging to the brand's reputation.
Despite Wilson's criticisms, Lululemon has seen significant revenue growth since expanding its size range in 2020, suggesting that its diversity and inclusion efforts are benefiting the company.
