Pip Edwards is all smiles as she wears a $199 jumper from her own brand as she heads to a Pilates class in Sydney.
Pip Edwards has built a multi-million dollar fashion empire with her sportswear brand, PE Nation.
And on Tuesday, the 43-year-old proved to be her best advertisement as she was spotted wearing a sweater from her own brand while out in Sydney.
The designer was all smiles as she stepped out in a $199 beige and white patterned fleece hoodie and black athletic tights.
She completed her look with a pair of comfortable sneakers and wore a leopard print hat as she headed to a Pilates class.
Pip refreshingly showed off her flawless complexion by going makeup-free.

The Sydney socialite launched her sportswear brand PE Nation in 2016 with her friend and business partner Claire Tregoning, growing it into an international brand sold through 600 individual retailers in 95 countries.
Last June, Pip announced it was reducing PE Nation’s workforce due to “challenging market conditions”.
“In response to difficult economic conditions, PE Nation’s board has implemented measures to streamline and restructure the business,” Edwards said in an official statement to The Daily Telegraph.
“Unfortunately, this led to the difficult decision to lay off six employees.”
Pip added: “These measures align with overall restructuring efforts, which are necessary to ensure the continued growth and success of the business.

Earlier this year, Pip was forced to deny rumors of a falling out with Claire – whose office had been emptied and transformed into a “creative space” after a months-long absence.
The two took a business trip to the UK together in November 2022, where they promoted their athletics business, took selfies in London and had lunch with former Foreign Minister Julie Bishop.
But Daily Mail Australia revealed rumors were swirling that a deep friendship at the heart of the business may have collapsed during their luxury trip.
A source with knowledge of the company’s internal dealings said: “Pip and Claire had a falling out. »
The source said Claire took a month off in December, extended her break for another month in January, then opted for an additional three months off.
His office at the company’s Sydney headquarters was gutted and transformed into a “creative room”.

A PE Nation spokeswoman denied any feud between the pair, insisting they remained “committed and collaborative business partners”.
“Claire is taking some well-deserved time off and remains an important part of PE Nation,” the spokesperson said. “(She’s) taking a well-deserved sabbatical for a few months.”
Claire reiterated the message when contacted for comment, adding: “Both the company and Pip have been great supports in my sabbatical and I am grateful to have this time off with my family.”
She did not respond to questions about cleaning her office at headquarters, but the PE Nation spokeswoman admitted it had been reused for the duration of her absence.
“While Claire is not in the office, we use her office space for other purposes, including a meeting and creative room,” they said.
