Chip Wilson, the founder of Lululemon and the man who famously said that “some women’s bodies just don’t actually work” for the company’s yoga pants, is stepping down from Lululemon’s board of directors.

 From the New York Times:

    Wilson made a fortune convincing women that nirvana was just a $100 pair of stretch pants away, but he lost his sure footing over the past two years. In March 2013, Lululemon recalled 17 percent of its black yoga pants—which don’t come in a size larger than 12—because its proprietary Luon fabric was too sheer. Some women who tried to return the pants at Lululemon stores said they were told to put them on and bend over so staff members could determine just how see-through they were.

That public relations disaster led to an even worse one in November 2013 when Wilson, then the company’s chairman, attempted to explain the reasons for the apparel mishap on Bloomberg TV. “The thing is that women will wear seat belts that don’t work or they’ll wear a purse that doesn’t work or, quite frankly, some women’s bodies just actually don’t work for it,” he told Bloomberg’s Trish Regan. “It’s really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there.”
