US EditionLululemon founder blames board for ill-fitting and thin Get Low clothes
- On Jan. 22, 2026, Lululemon paused online sales of the Get Low collection days after its debut, keeping the line available in physical stores while addressing guest feedback.
- Complaints about sheerness and fit prompted the website pullback, as customers reported the Get Low collection was ill-fitting and too sheer, leading to its removal for review.
- Wilson accused the Lululemon Athletica board of inexperience, disinterest in product quality, and short-term focus, calling the leggings pullback a 'total operational failure,' and stated, 'It is clear that persistent failures like this are born out of this Board's lack of experience in creative businesses, disinterest in product development and quality, and focus on short-term, self-interested priorities.'
- Lululemon in December said CEO Calvin McDonald will leave at the end of January as the board searches for his replacement, while investors punished the stock, down about 10% over five days and more than 50% over the past year.
- The misstep mirrors earlier quality crises dating to 2013, including a recall removing 17% of pants and a Breezethrough line withdrawal about 18 months ago, amid Elliott Investment Management's $1 billion stake and work with Jane Nielsen.
