Brynn Putnam, founder and CEO of MIRROR, said the following about the investment: “We’re thrilled to welcome new investors like Steve Cohen, Karlie Kloss and Kevin Huvane to the MIRROR family. Their support and vision for our growth will be instrumental in allowing us to develop groundbreaking content and reach more people where it’s most convenient. It’s particularly gratifying to be involved with lululemon again. I first worked with them almost a decade ago as an Ambassador and have long admired their exceptional team, as well as their vibrant community. There are significant synergies between our brands and I’m excited for the opportunity to innovate together”
