Lululemon recall

Just discovered that a Tulane alum is a major designer with this company.

Lauren Powel - class of 2005 - Designer, Lululemon. If you happen to follow me on Facebook, you know that I am a big fan of this company. I love their product and I even own stock in Lulu. I was super stoked for my good friend Lauren, who lived on Monroe 9 with me freshman year, when she was hired from Reebok as a designer for Lululemon. Lauren double majored in Marketing and Management from the Freeman School of Business with a minor in studio art. She then went along to get an accelerated womenswear design degree at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. I asked Lauren how Tulane helped her prepare for her job at Lululemon, and she said; "I can't imagine a better undergrad experience than what I had at Tulane. The people I met, the courses I took and the professors I had at Tulane definitely led me down the path to where I am today. Although I've always been artistic, I'm glad I have a background in business; it's definitely come in handy as a designer." Today, she's designs beautiful and functional clothing for yogis. She is one of two designers based in NYC and she splits her time designing out of a co-working space in SoHo (a workspace filled with a mix of young entrepreneurs) and traveling to Vancouver for fittings and design meetings all while practicing yoga as much as she can.
