It comes after Pip 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.

Pip 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.

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 last month. 

‘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.

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.

‘Things change and that’s just what happened for us, but we are getting through that with a lot of respect and support for each other.’
