New report alleges Lululemon’s corporate culture is “unwelcoming” to Black people
In a year-long report conducted by Business of Fashion, 14 current and former Lululemon employees described a corporate culture that is toxic and unwelcoming to Black people. In 2020, the yoga athleisure brand launched a diversity, equity and inclusion department, which had a budget of $5 million, reports Sheena Butler-Young. However, this new report finds that very little has changed in the past three years, with Black employees being passed over for promotions, deemed “off-brand,” reprimanded and sometimes even fired. {Business of Fashion/paywalled}

The collection will feature pieces in both 18k gold and sterling silver, and will be available in late November. Prices are set to go from $350 all the way to $27,000. {WWD/paywalled}
