lululemon and the Future of Technical Apparel--#105

I picked this book up at a library sale for 50 cents, so I am sure that is part of the reason I bought it.  I had for a few months and for some reason I decided to read it, I think I was looking for something out of the ordinary and this fit.  I really didn't know anything about lululemon except it was expensive tights kind of things.  The book was written by the founder of the company Chip Wilson and he is an interesting person.  Goes into his history and his ideas on starting and then growing the company.  The company took off and when he looked for help, he found people willing to jump in but their version of help was not his.  Eventually he was forced out of leadership of the company although he still held a large number of shares in the company.  Interesting read about the technical clothes and development and then interesting about the company itself.  The founder Chip Wilson is a little out there and he certainly is giving his opinion of things but just wonder what a rebuttal would sound like.  Oh well, now I know more than I ever thought I would about this stuff.

There is 1 WL for this book on PBS & I will probably go ahead and post it to see about mailing off in the next few days.
