Signature Quote
“I’d like to think I’m tough on the course but I also like to teach everybody that you can smile and be happy and still be really good at something you do.”
Fabletics
In July 2013 Hudson partnered with entrepreneurs Don Ressler and Adam Goldenberg to launch the subscription-based athleisure brand “Fabletics.” Designed as a native activewear company the brand used a membership model that offered customers discounted pricing, curated outfit recommendations and monthly product credits. The concept aimed to position Fabletics between premium brands like Lululemon and lower-cost mass-market alternatives.
Over the decade the company grew rapidly by combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce with physical retail expansion. By the mid-2020s Fabletics surpassed $1 billion in revenue a milestone that placed it among the most successful digitally born apparel brands of its generation. The company expanded its footprint to more than 120 stores worldwide the vast majority located in the United States while pursuing international growth in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.
In addition to its core womens activewear line the company broadened its offerings to include menswear, lifestyle apparel and specialized categories such as scrubs. The mens division has become one of the growing parts of the business helped by partnerships with celebrity ambassadors and professional athletes.
Fabletics remains privately held as part of TechStyle Fashion Group, which also owns brands such as JustFab and ShoeDazzle. Hudson reportedly owns a 20% stake in the company and continues to serve as a strategic advisor and prominent brand partner after stepping back from day-to-day leadership duties in 2021.
Because the company is private its exact valuation is not publicly disclosed. However past reports tied to IPO discussions suggested the company could seek a valuation of roughly $5 billion. Depending on the companys valuation Hudsons estimated 20% stake could theoretically be worth:
- $2 billion company value → $400 million stake
- $2.5 billion company value → $500 million stake
- $3 billion company value → $600 million stake
- $4 billion company value → $800 million stake
- $5 billion company value → $1 billion stake
If the company were ever to go public at the end of those estimates Hudsons equity could potentially place her among the wealthiest celebrity entrepreneurs in the fashion and lifestyle space.
