Pip Edwards stuns locals in Rome as she lets her underwear hang out in a see-through skirt during Euro trip after saying goodbye to her son
'Let the holidays begin,' Pip captioned a series of flirty selfies shared to her Stories on Wednesday.
The Ksubi creative director, 45, flaunted her fit figure in a sheer pink maxi skirt and a pair of nude underwear pulled up over her hips, with the label exposed, as she took to the streets of Rome.
Pip dressed to turn heads, pairing the $140 Venroy low-rise skirt with a cropped $350 Clea fringe top to expose her taut midriff.
The P.E Nation co-founder and two of her pals ventured to Bar San Calisto in search of refreshments as temperatures in the Italian capital soared to 35°C .

Pip finished her eye-popping look with a pair of bedazzled Miu Miu ballet flats and a slouchy black Loewe purse.
She literally let her hair down for the occasion, foregoing her signature blonde bun for a loose and wavy hairstyle dictated by the European summer humidity.
Bar San Calisto is known for its cheap drinks and committed clientele that is a mix of artists, lifelong Romans, college students, and tourists.
Pip's photos show the packed crowd at Piazza San Calisto stopping in to enjoy the refreshments and live music.
The completely sheer look is one Pip has been rocking for the past 18 months — since she re-launched, and then departed, P.E Nation after debuting a new line of bum-and-bra-baring designs for the ultra-fit.
The Sydney socialite's holiday comes three days after she bid farewell to her son Justice, 18, in San Francisco, California.
'Too many memories to share! You have been by my side from the minute you were born 18 years ago, right up until now, where I'm about to leave you in San Francisco,' Pip penned in a lengthy tribute post.
'As a parent, we give our children roots grounded in family, love and values, and we give them wings with the wind beneath them, so they can soar through life and navigate their own way,' she wrote alongside a carousel of pictures taken with her son.
Pip shared a collection of recent photos of her teenager as she wished him well.
'There will always be an invisible umbilical cord between us Justice - an intense connection and true love that runs blood deep and life long,' she continued.
'You have brought so much joy to me and everyone around you and to whoever meets you.
'It's going to bring me the greatest joy to watch you live out your basketball dreams.'
'Get out there my love, go after everything in front of you, it's all yours to take! This departure forward into your adult life has been one of the most brutal yet brilliant experiences ever!! Loving you, raising you, and learning from you is my greatest inspiration. You are the GOAT.'
Pip shares Justice with her ex and Ksubi co-founder, Dan Single.
In a recent sit-down with Body & Soul, the single mother spoke about having a new lease on life now that her son has flown the coop.
'I'm proud I've managed to facilitate my dreams and his dreams at the same time,' she said.
'It's taken a lot of grind, perseverance, resilience, energy and excitement. To survive, I've had to make compromises, but now I don't have to compromise anymore.'

From landfill to luxury: how a designer uses scraps from Hermes and Chanel to make leather goods
After more than a decade as a fashion designer, Dana Cohen was disillusioned. Excessive waste was rampant in every part of the industry – from surplus samples, to manufacturing scraps, to retail stores with 'a disheveled mountain of garments that nobody wanted', she said. 'I was like, 'I just don't want to be a part of it any more.'' Then Cohen, who had designed for brands including Banana Republic, Club Monaco and J Crew, had a chance encounter with a manufacturer that changed her course. Drishti Lifestyle, based in India, had a container full of leather scraps it didn't want to discard. Together they experimented, and made some wallets and a handbag, all of which sold out. That was the very start of Cohen's sustainable leather accessories company – and her mission to make a dent in the industry's immense waste problem. Launched in November 2019, Hyer Goods sells bags, wallets and other accessories made entirely from deadstocks: leftover scraps that would otherwise end up in landfills. Specifically, it uses luxury leather leftovers, retrieved from designer heavyweights like Hermes, Chanel, and Valentino. Deadstocks are sourced both directly from Italian factories – such as a tannery in the outskirts of Naples, Russo di Casandrino – and via 'people on the ground' in Italy who have longstanding relationships with those brands. The scraps are then transported to family-run factories in Italy's Marche region, on the Adriatic coast: a mother-daughter-run factory produces the bags, and down the road, a father-son-run-factory assembles the wallets. 'We literally load the scraps from the bags in a little car and drive it to the wallet factory,' Cohen said. Designer brands typically only use the very highest grades of leather, so Hyer takes the 'off-cuts' that are still above par, but may have blemishes like tick bites or stretch marks, and cuts around them. Given the reliance on whatever is available, the Hyer collection is inherently small-batch, and a single line of bags might comprise a mix of different leathers. 'We have never made 500 pieces of anything,' Cohen said. The unpredictable supply can be hard. 'It's not for the faint of heart,' Cohen said. But she estimates this model has kept approximately 7,000 pounds of leather in circulation – and out of landfills – over the last six years of operation. It's a start in healing an industry that sends some 92m tonnes of textiles to landfills every year, producing between 4% and 8% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. 'I appreciate any company that's really trying to work towards the circular economy,' said Ann Cantrell, associate professor of fashion business management at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), 'which is trying to keep things in the loop as long as we can and not go to landfill.' She said Hyer Goods's model follows the 'triple bottom line': operating not only for profitability, but also for improving conditions for people and for the planet. If more businesses operate with such models, they can 'continue to challenge the status quo' around issues like the overuse of virgin materials, she said. Leather is particularly troublesome for its connection to cattle ranching, which is linked to deforestation, mass water use, and the emission of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Tanning also uses toxic chemicals that can contaminate waterways. On the other hand, leather is an extremely durable product, sometimes lasting decades. 'So from that perspective, it is a sustainable material,' said Cantrell. Sustainability is nuanced. 'There's no perfectly sustainable material,' said Elizabeth Cline, an author and expert on fast fashion and sustainability. But Cline said repurposing genuine leather is better than producing so-called vegan leather, or faux leather, which is made of plastics, even when it also contains some plant-based materials like cork or apple peels. 'You're eliminating the animal welfare issue, but creating new environmental problems,' she said. The reality is that high-end consumers are still buying genuine leather. While Hyer's average customer is the sustainable-minded person looking for greener alternatives, Cohen said she is starting to see more luxury-driven customers. Hyer's bestselling Ring Bag, made from lambskin Nappa, a premium leather known for its softness, typically sells for $465 – nothing to sneeze at but still a far cry from luxury brands that retail for several thousand dollars. Cohen launched Hyer Goods just months before the pandemic. People weren't buying fancy handbags during lockdowns so she briefly pivoted to sewing masks with leftover fabrics – even curtains – that she crowdsourced on social media. Consulting followers for opinions has continued to be a strategy. 'I think people really like being a part of the process,' she says. 'Not only is it a great way to connect with community, but it's a really good way to make smart decisions.' Soon, the bags gained the attention of influential figures like Katie Couric and internet chef Alison Roman. When Roman recommended the bags to her followers: 'That was one of the best days for us, ever,' Cohen said. Major brands like Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and Madewell now sell Hyer Goods bags, and in 2024, Cohen opened a brick-and-mortar store in New York's West Village after winning a grant from the nonprofit ChaShaMa, which supports women and minority artists by providing them with subsidized real estate spaces. Beginning April, the Trump administration imposed 10% tariffs on goods from Italy, leaving Cohen little choice but to raise prices. The price bumps initially led to a 'huge dip' in sales, she said. Volumes seem back to normal now, though that's hard to parse out due to seasonal shifts. 'I'm not sure if the customer has gotten used to it, but I certainly haven't,' she said. (In July, Trump announced additional tariffs on European goods, which European trade officials said would make continuing US-EU trade ''almost impossible'.) Cohen said she has no plans to move operations to the US; many factories that she had considered weren't capable of details like edge painting (to protect leather edges from fraying), which would sacrifice quality. 'The craftsmanship that you can get in Italy just doesn't compare,' she said. ''Made in USA was just not an option.' Cohen, who has five part-time employees, said she'd like to expand products into belts and shoes, start sourcing deadstock Italian cottons, and open a second store, perhaps in Brooklyn. She'd like to be fully circular, including hardware like zippers, which are not made from scraps. But economic volatility – and simply the nature of a bootstrapped business that depends on a fluctuating supply – have delayed some of those plans. 'Any dreams I had, I've put on hold,' she said. 'Right now it's just: how can we stay afloat?' But nothing has changed her mission, which comes before any growth ambitions, she said. 'My goal was never to be a behemoth organization,' Cohen said. 'I just want to have a nice, small business for people who care.'

'We had so much fun together' - Milner pays tribute to Jota
James Milner has paid tribute to his former Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota in an interview with Brighton's in-house media team at the start of played alongside Jota for three seasons between 2020 and 2023 before the midfielder departed Anfield to join the Seagulls. The 39-year-old travelled to Portugal for the funeral of Jota and his brother Andre Silva at the start of July."The emotions you feel are pretty obvious," he said."The shock at first of hearing it and hoping it's not actually true. Your mind goes through your experiences together and the time you shared together."As a player he was incredible. A finisher - so clever with the positions he got into, how he used his body."I sit next to Adam Webster on the bus when we travel to [Brighton] games and the amount of times I've said to him 'you don't realise how good this guy is, this guy is amazing, I love watching him' and Adam would say 'yeah Milly you told me last week'."Every week I love watching the guy as a player and I loved training with him but, more importantly than as a player, as a guy he was incredible. He was someone you could put in any corner of the dressing room and people loved him."Me and him had so many fun days together winding each other up. He's such a stubborn guy like myself. We had so much fun together."He was such an amazing family man and just someone you wanted to be around. He'll be missed by everyone. He was a truly amazing player and even better guy - an unbelievable guy to be around. "He'll be missed by everyone who knew him and everyone in the footballing world for sure."

The unexpectedly high-end homewares you can find on the high street
Designer-quality homeware normally comes with a price tag to match – but if you know where to look, there are some gems to be found on a budget this season. Several high-street brands have been raising their interiors game by introducing elevated materials, collaborating with well-known designers and producing limited-edition ranges with thoughtful decorative details. Here are some key collections to have on your radar. Zara Home x Collagerie The debut collaboration between the British shopping platform Collagerie and the Spanish fashion brand Zara was a sell-out success last summer; and the second collaboration, which has just launched, looks to be just as covetable. Designed by Collagerie's chief creative officer (and former British Vogue fashion director) Lucinda Chambers, the collection demonstrates her flair for combining bold colours in a way that looks effortlessly chic, never garish, and her knack for pinpointing the details that give a piece a high-end, handmade look. 'To push the boundaries both in terms of colour juxtapositions and materials and design is very important for Zara Home and Collagerie,' says Chambers, who describes the process of working on the collection as 'joyous'. 'To make things that resonate, excite and stand out as beautiful standalone pieces as well as the collection as a whole is key.' The pieces include furniture, textiles, ceramics and wall art, in earthy tones and tactile textures, with prices starting from £7.99. We predict the blankets, the stripey woven chair and matching footstool, and the chunky ceramic serving dishes that could have come from a market in Deia, will be this year's runaway hits. John Lewis Pieces from John Lewis's autumn-winter 2025 collection are already starting to drop, and its Modern Luxe range is one to look out for. Sofas and armchairs with chocolate-brown velvet upholstery and sleek chrome frames have a loungy, 1970s vibe, and the wooden furniture pieces have a particularly upscale look. Burl wood – which has a distinctive, knotty grain and a glossy lacquered finish – is set to be a key element of the coming collection, and pieces such as the burl walnut coffee (£399) and bedside table (£349) look far more expensive than they are. A little table lamp with a marble base called Porcini isn't exactly cheap at £200, but would potentially cost three times that price elsewhere. H&M Home Shop wisely at H&M and you can find accessories that will elevate a room, yet cost just a few pounds. Clever collaborations with high-end partners – most recently, a summery collection with the Caribbean hotel Palm Heights – help to lend the brand a more luxurious look, but its own-design pieces also include plenty of gems. Right now, there are some chic pieces in materials such as marble, velvet and corduroy, including a marble side table and floor lamp, both £99.99, and trays, kitchenware and candlesticks from £6.99. Look out for table linens too – an embroidered tablecloth is a steal at £39.99. Next Home Next hasn't always been known for a luxe style, but it has recently been quietly upping the ante with its N Premium range. The neutral palette of the furniture and textiles help to give a more expensive look: standout current pieces include an oak and marble side table for £399, a curved oak-veneer bedside table for £475, and a brass ceiling light for £150 that could pass for a far pricier designer version. Next's collaboration with the interior decorator Nina Campbell has produced a collection with a designer edge, but in an entirely different style, with colour, pattern and decorative detail: the lighting and storage pieces are especially good. M&S If you associate M&S homewares with a slightly fusty look, you might be surprised to see some of its more recent accessories. As with its fashion collections, the company is clearly targeting a younger, trend-conscious shopper, and producing its own versions of certain zeitgeisty pieces that have been all over Instagram – chequerboard and stripe motifs on textiles and ceramics, and table lamps with scalloped shades, for instance. Its ongoing collaboration with Kelly Hoppen has also produced some designer ceramics and hotel-inspired bedding and throws. Anthropologie American brand Anthropologie can be relied upon as a source for limited-edition pieces that you won't spot in everyone else's house. Its Hale furniture collection, with tables and storage pieces covered in a leafy botanical print, is a case in point – although with a starting price of £898 for a chest of drawers, it's at the upper end of the high street price range. The tableware comes at more of a pick-me-up price: the current Benedita collection of hand-painted stoneware with a pretty bow motif starts from a more accessible £12.
