Lululemon Founder Chip Wilson's Most Outrageous Quotes

1. Sheerness

In an interview on Nov. 5, 2013, Wilson attributed the “sheerness” of Lululemon’s yoga pants to women buying too-small pants or their thighs rubbing together.

“Frankly, some women’s bodies just don’t actually work [for the yoga pants],” Chip Wilson said on Bloomberg TV’s “Street Smart” program. “It’s more really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there over a period of time, how much they use it.”

2. Awkward Apology
After the comments about sheerness, in a 50-second apology video posted on YouTube and Lululemon’s Facebook page, Wilson apologized, not to the customers he may have offended, but to his own employees.

“I’m sad for the people at Lululemon who I care so much about that have really had to face the brunt of my actions,” Wilson said. “I take responsibility for all that has occurred and the impact it has had on you. I’m sorry to have put you all through this.”

3. Japanese Pronunciation

When Wilson was CEO, he made comments in 2005 saying that it was funny that Japanese people couldn't pronounce the "L" in Lululemon.

"It's funny to watch them try and say it," he told Canada's National Post Business Magazine when asked about the Japanese pronunciation of his company's name.

Wilson denies saying it, according to the New York Times.

4. Rise of Divorce

In a blog post in 2009 titled "How Lululemon came into being," Wilson wrote, "The pill immediately transformed the sex lives of anyone under the age of 40, particularly teenagers."
