Lululemon founder Chip Wilson scorned for saying his pants ‘don’t work for some'

Chip should should that he made the statement as a way of "motivating" these women to lose the weight so then they could wear his clothes?
I think it's more in line with not having his cloths look bad. After all, there is nothing attractive about clothing stretched to the point that it's transparent. Also, Lululemon isn't sold as a "foundation" garment. (girdle)
...........wonder if one could get the ladies to borrow a page from PETA..........rather go naked than wear LuLu.........
:nod:
Idiotic Vancouver fashion trends aside, these are gym clothes. When women think of aspirational wear, wedding dresses, bikinis and pleather catsuits come to mind, not glorified sweatpants.
A maker of workout gear told plus-sized women that they were too fat for the clothes one is supposed to wear to the place where one gets not-fat.
If this is how he wants to comport himself, he never should have made an IPO. He has a legal obligation to his shareholders to maximise growth and profit. Making public statements which alienate the largest North American demographic (and growing), as well as simply not making products for them, is a really dumb idea.
If I were a larger lady, I would be annoyed, but if held Lulu stock, I would be outright livid.

I always thought Lulu was about positive uplifting thinking & goal setting. That is why I suggested Chips comment as a "motivational" one.
LOL... I was in a lingerie store when I picked up a bra and said to the salesgirl "are these children's sizes??"
Let me know what part of Japan you are in and I'll let you know where to go
To find what "white girl" size?
I've said this before here....and here I come again.
Three years ago, when I turned 45, I weighed 285 pounds, and at 5'8" with a slender frame, I was NOT pulling off a size 24 tent, never mind yoga pants of any type or description! My ass would have looked like two dogs fighting in a black garbage bag if I'd tried to wear Lululemon! I worked hard to lose over 110 pounds, and I am damn proud of how I look, and the fact that I can wear a size 8 dress again for the first time since HIGH SCHOOL makes me positively giddy!
Could I wear Lululemon now? Pretty sure I could. Would I? Not if you paid me!!!

Actually, I do care. One day, while shopping at American Apparel, I decided to ask...why would I pay $49.99 for these yoga pants, when I can just pay $15.99 for these tights? It was then explained to me...tights are meant to be worn under things that don't completely show your butt. They are quite thin, and often see-through, if stretched a little. Yoga pants, on the other hand, are quite thick. In fact, mine are shaped for the calf, and have a small concealed key-pocket. Honestly, I just didn't know the difference. Now I'm super happy in my yoga pants, but I still don't wear them for fashion. I wear them with my gym clothes!
Are lulu lemons pants supposed to look good ? I thought they were work out cloths ?
I have purchased a few pants from there they are very good quality and last for more than 2 years. I have noticed piling but only after a lot of use and me stupidly putting them in the dryer.
I have never thought wow I just love these stretchies think I'll go out and show the whole world how my ass cheeks bounce while I'm bending over in the produce isle . I actually find it insulting a female would even comment on the opinion of some unattractive piss ant with a zero personality like that chip stud . I'm suspicious of grown females wearing yoga crap in everyday life.
It alarms me that an educated accomplished fully grown woman thinking it's ok to be so revealing in public it's weird and sad and kinda trailerish sorry but I'm in the gym on the daily they don't look good enough to wear outside for 99% of us over the age of 12.

yes, it works because her legs are visually proportionate to her body.Meanwhile, this works...!
a 300 pounder couldn't pull off this look…I think that's what the Chipper was saying.
