Indoda Eshintshe Konke: UChip Wilson noLululemon
Ngawo lowo nyaka, usomabhizinisi waseCanada ogama lakhe linguChip Wilson wangena ekilasini le-yoga eVancouver. Wayelimele emhlane futhi wayefuna impumuzo. Lokho akuthola esikhundleni salokho kwakuyicebo lebhizinisi. Waphawula ukuthi abesifazane ekilasini babegqoke inhlanganisela yekotini ne-polyester - izindwangu ezazinganwebeki kahle, ezingakhiphi umswakama, futhi empeleni ezazingafaneleki nhlobo kulo mkhuba.
UWilson wachitha izinyanga ezingaphezu kweziyisithupha ecwenga izindwangu futhi watshala imali engu-$80,000 emishinini emibili yokuthunga yaseJapane eyisicaba.

Uma uChip Wilson echaza ukuthi ukugqoka i-yoga kungaba yini, uKim Kardashian wachaza kabusha ukuthi kwakungokwabani.
Ngo-2019, uKardashian wasungula i-SKIMS kanye nosomabhizinisi uJens Grede. Uthe uchithe iminyaka ezisika futhi edaya izingubo zakhe ngoba wayengatholi lutho oluhambisana nesikhumba sakhe nesimo somzimba wakhe. Lo mkhiqizo wethulwa ngesithembiso esiyinhloko: “Isixazululo sawo wonke umuntu.”
Futhi babekuqondile. I-SKIMS yayinikeza osayizi kusukela ku-XXS kuya ku-5XL, ngemibala ehlukahlukene yesikhumba eyisishiyagalolunye - okuhlukile ngamabomu kusayizi omncane kanye nemibala ebeyibusa imboni amashumi eminyaka.
Lo mkhiqizo waqala ngokushesha. Iqoqo lawo lokuqala lezingubo zokugqoka ezibunjiwe lathengiswa ngemizuzu embalwa. Phakathi neminyaka yobhubhane, ukuthengisa kwanda ngo-80-90% minyaka yonke, kwathi ngo-2023, i-SKIMS yayibiza amaRandi ayizigidigidi ezine. Ngo-2025, lelo nani lase likhuphuke laya kumaRandi ayizigidigidi ezinhlanu - okwenza kwaba ngelinye lamabhrendi emfashini asungulwe ngosaziwayo emhlabeni.

Njengoba omunye umhlaziyi wemboni esho, i-SKIMS yaguqula izingubo ezibunjiwe kusukela "esisebeni sokuhlukunyezwa kobuhle" yaba yinto abesifazane ababefuna ukuyigqoka ngempela.
Kwabe sekufika iNikeSKIMS. Ekuqaleni kuka-2025, iNike — ebhekene nokwehla kwemali engenayo ngo-8% — yamemezela ukubambisana okuhlelekile nomkhiqizo kaKardashian.
