On September 1, Lululemon Athletica launched an onslaught of new women’s pants and in effect rebranded their bottoms … and that refers to pants, not butts. :)
With a goal of getting its customers into clothes based on how they want to feel, instead of how they want to look, the pants have been placed into the following categories: tight, hugged, held-in, naked and relaxed. There’s in depth information on their website and also in the video posted below.
For my part, however, I was asked to usher in this new pants era with a live DJ session at the Lululemon La Jolla store, which is always a good time!
As a DJ it's always important to match the mood of the crowd. This is even more vital in a retail setting where business -- and busy-ness -- can fluctuate. For the most part it's good to keep the vibe and tempo "up" but it's also important to not distract customers from shopping and employees from doing their job.
