What a CreepSeason 29, Episode 7Former CEO & Founder of LululemonChip Wilson, the founder and former CEO of Lululemon Athletica, has been involved in several controversies over the years, primarily due to his public statements and views on body image, diversity, and labor practices.  His issues range from concerns about body image and product quality to his opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.Additionally, he has faced criticism for purchasing large areas of the Vancouver region, which led to increased rents and the displacement of artists and small businesses. The company's name also has origins that some consider to be racist.  While his actions and statements have many troubling aspects, it's essential to acknowledge that he is Canadian, which implies a certain level of decency.He has also been a benefactor for his homeland, so he isn't 100% total  Creep—there might be some opportunity for growth!Wilson was diagnosed with a subtype of muscular dystrophy called facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy at age 32.

Lululemon fue una de las compañías de moda de 2024. En el cuarto trimestre de este año tuvieron unos ingresos de más de 3500 millones de dólares, un 12% más que en el mismo periodo del año anterior. Mejoró también el beneficio por acción aunque el periodo de rebajas no tuvo el impacto esperado. Según datos publicados por SalesForce, la categoría de ropa registró las tasas de descuento más altas en Estados Unidos, en torno al 33% durante la temporada navideña, lo que perjudicó los márgenes. ¿Cómo vio la compañía este periodo navideño? ¿Qué espera para los siguientes meses? Calvin McDonald, CEO de Lululemon. Lululemon es una compañía canadiense que se fundó en 1998. Con apenas 27 años de vida, ha logrado colarse como una de las mejores marcas deportivas del panorama. Con sus productos para hacer ejercicio, sobre todo para Yoga, ha conseguido ser una de las compañías de moda de 2024. ¿Qué frentes abiertos tiene la compañía? ¿Qué se espera de Lululemon en los próximos años? Lululemon fue una de las grandes beneficiadas de la “fiebre” por el deporte que hubo por la pandemia, especialmente durante el confinamiento. Según un informe publicado por ASICS Research, en 2020, el 80% de los españoles afirmaron que estar activos les ayudó a sobrepasar la pandemia. Un fenómeno que se repitió en todo el mundo y que se tradujo en mejores ventas para Lululemon, que mejoró sus ventas este año más de un 10%. Aunque gran parte de su éxito se debe a la gran estrategia del dueño de la marca, Chip Wilson. Wilson fue una de las primeras mentes brillantes que supo ver que el Yoga iba a convertirse en un fenómeno mundial. Fue en 1998 y ese año fundó Lululemon. Aunque como hacen otros grandes inversores como Warren Buffet, el cambio constante en la estrategia empresarial es uno de sus mantras. Es por eso que en 2019 destinó más de 1.000 millones de dólares en efectivo para adquirir el 21% de Amer Sports, dueña de marcas como Salomon o Wilson. A finales de 2023 justificó esta decisión a Forbes alegando que creía que estaba justo en medio del mayor cambio en la forma de vestir de la historia del mundo. Aún sigue siendo el accionista mayoritario de Lululemon ¿Veremos un cambio de mando en la compañía canadiense este año?

运动服饰这个行业的领先者一直由大集团把控，不论是耐克、阿迪达斯，还是安踏，旗下都有不止一个品牌，涉猎的运动也尽可能多。但就是在这样一个市场里，一个主营单个小众运动服饰的品牌，销售额还不到耐克的十分之一，市值居然排到过全球第三，仅此于耐克阿迪，这就是lululemon。 lululemon如今已经是一个经典的商学院案例，它在很多地方一反行业常规，并取得出众效果。产品上，它重新定义了瑜伽服这个品牌；销售上不依赖经销商，而是完全直营；营销上不聘请体育明星当代言人，而是把KOL模式发扬光大。同时，它在遭遇低谷，犯下一连串错误的情况下，能重新振作，在2020年疫情阴影下，股价大涨。 这一期节目，我们首先总结了lululemon生意中有价值的经验，然后也预测了它接下来的发展。不过在第二部分，两位主播的观点并不一致。 | 主播 |肖文杰 | 《第一财经》杂志主笔许冰清 | 《第一财经》杂志主笔 | 时间轴 |02:54 创始人前传：游泳、滑雪和冲浪07:15 品类杀手：从技术和设计上定义瑜伽服15:48 历史的进程：运动休闲风19:45 经营策略：直营和KOL25:35 危机：如何犯错，如何走出30:19 未来前景：lululemon是不是太贵了？ | 延伸阅读 |《Little Black Stretchy Pants》作者: 奇普·威尔逊（Chip Wilson） 出版社: Rosettabooks lululemon创始人奇普·威尔逊（Chip Wilson）在2018年出版的品牌自传《Little Black Stretchy Pants》，从企业文化、商业模式、错误与经验等方面讲述了lululemon品牌成长的故事。 | 后期制作 |董思哲 | 收听方式 |你可以通过小宇宙播客App、苹果播客、Spotify、喜马拉雅、网易云音乐、QQ音乐、荔枝等平台收听节目。 | 认识我们 |微信公众号：第一财经YiMagazine

This week's guest is Chip Wilson, entrepreneur, philanthropist and most notably, the founder of apparel company Lululemon. Long before Apple and Tesla opened their owned stores, Lululemon pioneered the concept of vertical retail in North America. Unlike other sports apparel companies that sold to retailers, Lululemon designed products were sold exclusively in its own stores. By owning all aspects of design, marketing, and retail, it commanded software like gross margins. In this episode, Chip gives his insights on Lululemon's business model, why Kit and Ace didn't take off and his latest involvements in Amer and Anta, which some are calling the Nike of China. We are excited to discuss with Chip his innovative business model approach and how Lululemon was able to become brand pioneers, carving out a corner of apparel and creating the athleisure market.
