The Family Behind Lululemon Has A New Clothing Line
Shannon Wilson, who designed Lululemon's iconic yoga pants, is currently promoting her new brand Kit And Ace.
Chip Wilson stepped down from his position as chairman of Lululemon after making a series of comments blaming customers for the company's sheer yoga pants debacle.
JJ Wilson, Chip's son from a previous marriage, is running the company with Shannon.
Lululemon is credited with making workout clothing fashionable.Kit And Ace has a similar mission.
The brand designs items like cashmere sweaters to be comfortable, durable, and able to withstand a washer and dryer. Many of the items are stretchy, like exercising clothing, and feature vents for sweat. Wilson described it to The New Yorker as clothing for a "full-contact lifestyle."
