    Another Lululemon PR Fail

    Lululemon continues its downward PR spiral with sexist yoga pants comments

    Lululemon founder Dennis "Chip" Wilson is bringing the company's yoga-pants debacle back into the spotlight by saying the problem lies not with the pants but with women. During an interview with Bloomberg TV, when asked about frequent quality concerns from customers, he said the pants simply "don't work for some women's bodies."

    Lululemon has been making headlines since March due to the "increased sheerness" of its black luon yoga pants, a pair of which will cost you about $100. It ultimately led the company to pull 17 percent of the pants from stores and its website.

    Within weeks of the incident, ​Lululemon chief product officer Sheree Waterson stepped down from her position; in June, CEO Christine Day announced that she would be leaving the company as well.

    "It's really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there over a period of time, how much they use it," said founder Doug Wilson about the pants.

    Day's decision to leave came right after the company chose to restock stores with newly redesigned black yoga pants that "have more fabric across the bum," according to NPR. By the time the new pants were available to customers, Lululemon's stock had fallen by 17 percent.

    In spite of the redesign, the company continues to receive complaints about the pants, this time involving pilling of the fabric and issues with seams in addition to problems with fabric thinness. Instead of addressing the problem, Wilson — who often has colorful things to say — simply stated that the issue was with the consumer and not the product.

    "It's really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there over a period of time, how much they use it," Wilson said of the pants.

    In addition to the litany of product complaints, the company has been criticized for shunning plus-sized women. Larger-sized items are often poorly displayed, seldom restocked and sized far smaller than other retailers'.

    When asked if Wilson's statements implied that not all women can wear Lululemon yoga pants, he replied, "I think they can. I just think it's how you use them."

    Lululemon just can't seem to catch a PR break these days. In Dallas, the NorthPark Center store caused an uproar with a window display declaring "We do partners yoga, not partners card" — an obvious reference to the Partners Card program of beloved Dallas charity Family Place.

    In an effort at spin control, the retailer hinted at an existing relationship with the charity, which turned out to be false. Then, finally, to make real amends, Lululemon broke down and wrote Family Place a $10,000 check. At that point, however, the damage to the company's reputation had been done.

    Lululemon continues to get customer complaints about its rather pricey yoga pants.

    Dallas' once-a-year Salvation Army fashion show sale is a shopper must

    The actual sale will probably not be this color-coded.

    It's one of the hottest sales of the year and it's happening in Dallas on May 9-10: It's the After-Sale hosted by the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary, featuring designer clothing, shoes, and accessories at a highly discounted price.

    This annual event has been called one of Dallas’ best kept secrets: a designer warehouse sale featuring new and gently worn clothes from the city’s best dressed closets and local boutiques. Featured pieces include designers such as Carolina Herrera, Ulla Johnson, Marc Jacobs and more.

    It's part of the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary’s Fashion Show & Luncheon which since its inception in 1993 has raised more than $16 million for The Salvation Army of North Texas.

    This year’s Fashion Show & Luncheon took place on May 6 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and included a seated lunch and runway show featuring designer labels donated from Dallas’ most admirable closets and boutiques. Patrons were able to shop from The Chic Boutique or purchase runway items through a silent auction, with proceeds supporting The Salvation Army.

    Dallas Women’s Auxiliary President Laura Downing and founding Emeritus Auxiliary member Margot Perot honored Nancy Dedman with the namesake Margot Perot Service Award. Millie Cooper, whose leadership and legacy have inspired countless women to service, was recognized as the Legacy Award recipient. The inaugural Love in Action Award was presented to Toni Turner for her commitment to making the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary and the Fashion Show & Luncheon a success.

    “Each year, the Fashion Show & Luncheon serves as a positive reminder of the immense generosity of our advocates, partners, and donors,” said Major Dawn McFarland, area commander of The Salvation Army of North Texas. “It’s truly special to see North Texans come together for such a remarkable event, all in the name of service. We invite those who were unable to attend to come out for our After Sale. Every dollar makes a difference, and what better way to show support than by sprucing up your wardrobe!”

    The Fashion Show After Sale will take place at 9216 Harry Hines Blvd. May 9-10, from 10 am-6 pm and feature gently and never-worn women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, as well as shoes, handbags, and accessories at discounted prices — donated from coveted closets and boutiques in North Texas.
