Pip Edwards reveals real reason she left P.E Nation amid shock fallout with business partner Claire Greaves
Pip Edwards has revealed the real reason she left P.E Nation following its relaunch last year, after founding the brand with former business partner Claire Greaves in 2016. The fashion designer, 45, stepped down from the company in August last year after a professional rift between her and her ex best friend saw Claire leave P.E Nation just months earlier. Now, after much speculation from fans about why the mother-of-one decided to give up her company, she has claimed she could no longer maintain the rigorous workload of running the business, reported Wish on Friday. 'Not many people understand the pressure of building and running a business, but also creative, front-facing, product—all that stuff. It's five jobs in one, and I didn't stop,' she told the magazine. 'I gave that business 500 per cent of my life, and it was a 24/7 job, and you can only maintain that pace for so long. To be fair, I did have a couple of burnouts along the way. I'm just being honest here. 'It's no disrespect to P.E—it was either that or saving myself, you know? Because how do you get off that hamster wheel? How do you stop what you've started? You can't.' Pip went on to say she had to 'cut loose and then restart in a way that works for me, my emotions, energy, spirit, all those things, and realign and reset the boundaries'. She added it became hypocritical to spruik a brand all about wellness when 'my health wasn't well'. The fashion designer said many who have followed her long career at P.E Nation may 'misinterpret' the reasons she left the company just three months after its relaunch, but she insists she couldn't continue on with the workload. But while Pip has moved on to become Creative Director at Ksubi, the brand where she first got her start in fashion, the socialite said P.E Nation still holds a special place in her heart as a shareholder. It comes after there was a professional rift between Pip and Claire last year which saw the end of one of the Australian fashion industry's most lucrative and enduring partnerships. Claire co-founded P.E Nation with Pip, and the athleisure brand beloved by eastern suburbs yummy mummies went on to make them multimillionaires. But Claire stepped down from her day-to-day role at the label in March last year. At the time, P.E Nation said in a statement she would be 'pursuing other creative endeavours' and taking her career in a new direction. Claire and Pip were then hit by rumours of a falling-out, and Pip later wiped all traces of Claire from P.E Nation's social media in a seemingly telling move, erasing years of posts promoting the sportswear brand. After much speculation from fans about why the mother-of-one decided to give up her company, she has claimed she could no longer maintain the rigorous workload of running the business, reported Wish on Friday Pip took over as the sole creative director after Claire's exit and gave the brand an overhaul and relaunch, but she later confirmed in August she too was stepping down. The following month, in September, she returned to street-wear label Ksubi—the brand where she first made her name in the Noughties—as its creative director. While neither woman has revealed the reason why they went their separate ways, Pip said in June last year Claire 'was the product one' in their business partnership. 'In P.E. Nation with my business partner—she was the product one. She was an amazing designer and I was more the marketing side of things,' she said on the Kyle and Jackie O Show at the time. Pip went on to say she had fond memories of working with her former partner and praised Claire for being an 'amazing designer'. Before her business partnership came to an end, Claire separated from her husband Tim Tregoning in mid-2022, although they would not announce it until January the next year. 'It is very amicable, we still love each other, we are co-parenting and he remains a great friend,' she said in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald.

Jackie 'O' Henderson forces her daughter Kitty, 14, to go back to school just hours after landing from their 24-hour overseas flight
Jackie 'O' Henderson jetted back into Sydney early on Monday morning after enjoying a lavish Easter escape with her daughter Kitty in Italy. And just moments after landing in Australia, the radio star revealed her 14-year-old daughter, who she shares with her ex Lee Henderson, was heading straight back to school. The 50-year-old called into her KIIS FM radio show around 7am as she made her way from the airport to the studio after her flight was delayed by one day. She confirmed she was heading straight to work and Kitty was going to school. 'If she is really struggling she can have the day off but I prefer it if she just pushes through,' Jackie O told her co-host Kyle Sandilands. She also explained that Kitty 'loves' school, does really well and 'gives it her all'. Jackie eventually arrived to the studio before 7.30am while her daughter made her way to school. The pair had enjoyed strict mother-daughter time as they travelled for the vacation, which was taken for the Easter and Anzac Day break. They stayed at the postcard-perfect five-star Passalacqua hotel in Bellagio, Lake Como. They also visited the village of Moltrasio on Lake Como at Passalacqua, which was voted the world's best hotel in 2023 and 2024. The structure was rebuilt in 1787 for Count Andrea Lucini-Passalacqua from an original property whose previous owners included Pope Innocent XI and composer Vincenzo Bellini. Last year, Jackie was called out for taking her daughter Kitty out of school to attend Australian Fashion Week. The radio host left her KIIS FM show early back in May to head off to her good pal Pip Edwards' P.E Nation show with Kitty. The mother-daughter duo already attended the first day of AFW at Sydney's Carriageworks for Carla Zampatti's opening night runway show.

She confirmed she was heading straight to work and Kitty was going to school Last year, Jackie was called out for taking her daughter Kitty out of school to attend Australian Fashion Week As Jackie left the radio studio early for the second event, her co-host Kyle called her out. He pointed out they frequently promote a government scheme urging parents not to take their children out of school as he commented on Kitty's absence. The radio shock jock said: 'Why isn't she at school? Aren't we reading ads saying don't take your kids out of school? There's an ad here saying keep your kids at school, we're both reading it!' Kitty then briefly appeared on the radio to say hello to listeners, while Jackie insisted that attending AFW was great experience for Kitty, who wants to work in fashion. 'Listen, it's great experience for her because she loves fashion and wants to get into that field, don't you?' Jackie shared.

Pip Edwards SIZZLES in a daring black dress as the P.E Nation founder celebrates her 45th birthday
Pip Edwards put on quite the daring display on Saturday as she prepared to celebrate her 45th birthday. The P.E Nation founder took to Instagram to show off her birthday attire to her 196,000 followers. Pip flaunted her svelte frame in a form-fitting black dress from Sydney designer Michael Lo Sordo. The risqué garment featured a plunging neckline that extended past the blonde beauty's navel. The dress also showed off Pip's decolletage and, finishing mid-thigh, her lender and toned pins, as well. Pip wore her blonde locks down foe the occasion, which brushed against her shoulders as she posed for the fit-check selfies. The fashionista accessorised simply, choosing to adorn her wrists with some gold bling. She finished her outfit with a pair of strappy black heels that featured an eye-catching silver bow embellishment at the toe. Pip followed up the selfies with a shot that showed her preparing to dine at Paddington Eatery 10 William St. The image showed a long dining table, festooned with a number of wine glasses, suggesting Pip would be in good company on her birthday. Pip's 'soul sister' Jackie O Henderson took some time out on Saturday to pay a special tribute to her bestie. Jackie, who is currently enjoying an idyllic Italian getaway with her daughter Kitty, 14, took to Instagram to share a collage of she and Pip enjoying each other's company. Captioning the sweet images, the radio queen said that the pair's strong friendship was always meant to be. 'From the moment we met, we just knew we were destined to be great friends,' Jackie wrote. 'Happy birthday my beautiful @pipedwards I wish I was there to celebrate with you.' Jackie continued to gush about her bestie, adding: 'You're my little soul sister angel. I'm so proud of who u are & all you've achieved. 'Here's to many more nights filled with our deep chats. Love you so much.' It comes as Pip was welcomed back into Australia on Friday by her mother and father Gloria and Barrie. The Ksubi creative director and her 18-year-old son Justice have spent the past week undergoing an 'equilibrium of health' programme on an island near Bangkok. In addition to a lengthy summary of her time at RAKxa, an 'incredible integrative wellness retreat', Pip shared an image of a scarcely seen tattoo on the back of her neck to Instagram this week. The cursive tattoo, which is not new, says, 'Never Look Back.' It is written in the same cursive font as her more 'this must be the place' tattoo underneath her bicep – a nod to the beloved Talking Heads' song. Pip's 'soul sister' Jackie O Henderson took some time out on Saturday to pay a special tribute to her bestie 'You're my little soul sister angel. I'm so proud of who u are & all you've achieved. Here's to many more nights filled with our deep chats. Love you so much,' Jackie wrote Additionally, she has her son's name emblazoned on the arch of her foot in an Old English font, as well as a simple star tattoo. The sentiment is obviously something she is taking away from retreat, which is priced upwards from $9350 for an individual's five-night stay - per the company's website. 'I am also quickly approaching my 45th birthday and I am so grateful to have had this experience to really disconnect from the hustle and bustle of my day to day city life,' Pip wrote on Instagram Wednesday. 'And to return to my body, focusing on its strength, nourishing it with a tailored program of clean foods, and refuelling it with all the energetic spiritual love its been craving. 'I set out to take this time to be in a bubble of health with my son, but it's been so much more than that,' she added.
