Lululemon Founder Says Their Pants Don't Work for Everyone; Alexa Chung Snubbed by British Fashion Awards

Lululemon Founder Says Its Pants Don't Work for Everyone: The same week Lululemon released the first ads for the new "Full On" yoga pant—meant to combat the sheerness problem the brand encountered earlier this year—founder and chairman Chip Wilson dug the brand's PR disaster hole a little deeper. On Bloomberg Television's Street Smart, Wilson said, "Quite frankly, some women's bodies just don't work for it," saying one factor contributing to the fabric issues could be "rubbing through the thighs and how much pressure is there." Lululemon recalled 17 percent of its pants in March, a move that cost the brand approximately $20 million in losses. [Bloomberg]
