Lululemon Founder Criticizes Company's Inclusion Policy, Suggests Customer Exclusivity

Chip Wilson, the billionaire founder of Lululemon, criticized the company's diversity and inclusion efforts, suggesting that brands should embrace exclusivity and not cater to all customers. Despite stepping down from the company years ago, his comments have sparked controversy, as they contradict the current direction Lululemon is taking to be more inclusive. Wilson has a history of making divisive remarks, and while Lululemon has formed an Inclusion Diversity, Equity, and Action department, it has faced criticism for perceived tokenism and hypocrisy, especially given its high product prices and a recent anti-capitalism workshop controversy.
