PIP'S OASIS

Step inside the fashionably fabulous home of Sydney style icon Pip Edwards, who proves it’s easy being green.

Pip Edwards knows cool. At first glance, her easygoing disposition and savoir faire are undeniable, which naturally make their way into her personal style and, of course, her activewear brand, P.E Nation. But beyond the visage is a genuinely laidback human whose joie de vivre weaves through the calming space Edwards calls home.

“Because my life is so crazy, it’s nice to walk in and just feel relaxed,” she tells marie claire. “From the plants to the sofa to my garden, you’ll notice there’s a strong green theme. It’s a colour I’m drawn to and love being surrounded by. It represents abundance, calm and peace.”

Like many of us in recent years, Edwards was feeling ready for a fresh start. She said goodbye to her place in Bondi and settled down a few minutes away in a village-like slice of Rose Bay, a day before the city’s first lockdown in early 2020. With an empty space and nowhere to go, the fashion icon made use of her downtime to research, curate and apply her signature style to the new home, all while getting acquainted with an entirely new realm of design.
