Lululemon Supporting a Healthy Lifestyle

There has been a huge backlash from everyone in regards the the Lululemon Founder Chip Wilson coming out and saying that their product is not meant for women of all sizes. Though I believe it may not had been right the way he went about saying it, it’s true that if people wear clothes that are too small for them, they wear out faster. That’s all Chip was trying to respond to, but he has been cursed every since he came out with those comments. In a blog written by Marci Warhaft-Nadler she states that “Lululemon wants women to hate their bodies” which I don’t believe is true. Lululemon was  being critiqued because of supposed poor quality from wearing out too easily, so the founder responded to these complaints with a valid point.

Lululemon is known for supporting a healthy lifestyle, and that’s who they market for. I don’t believe Chip Wilson deserved the backlash he received after his comments, and though people are saying they won’t shop at Lululemon any more because of his views? Frankly, I don’t believe that will be much of a hindrance to the company, who currently has, and will continue to have a very strong and loyal customer base.
