My lawyer, when i went to register the name, and i told him what i was doing, he said yeah, like yoga will work. Reporter it made wilson a billionaire. I have my own drive, and i never really agree with other people. I dont think its possible to be creating a future that would otherwise not have existed without being controversial.

The thighs, how much pressure is there. Reporter the point was that women were buying them too small which compromised the design. In the same interview, he emphasized all women can wear the pants, but thats not what people heard. Women across the country calling the comments insensitive and irresponsible. My word were wrong. Reporter you can see how women hear the clip of that and were sensitive about our thighs. And be like, this is terrible. What hes saying. Certainly. I mean, there is probably one of the most successful womens companies in the world.

I didnt. Reporter after the apology for employees. Im sad for the repercussions of my actions. Reporter it was posted on facebook, and triggered a new round of criticism that he didnt apologize to customers. Reporter did you feel like you should apologize to the women . Deep in my heart, i knew that that was never my intent to make them feel bad, and i still didnt really have a real grasp on what i said, and how it affected them.

That must have been devastating in a way. It was. It is sad seeing him hurt, but chip is probably one of the most resilient people i know. Reporter wilson went back to work with his family, he opened the first kit and ace store last year. They say the new fabric, technical cashmere, is ideal for a busy lifestyle. It was about looking at how people were living in these full contact lives and how we could save them a little bit of time not having to take what was seemingly so precious, to the dry cleaners every time they wanted to wear it. Reporter for chip wilson, it money. Its a chance to see success with the people who stood by him. I cant think of anything more rewarding than being able to be with family and trading ideas and feed off each other, reporter like the yoga cheap. The basic t shirt is about 80.
