P.E. Nation’s activewear crossing over to fashion wear gaining a lot of interest

“We have been pushing the boundaries on what ‘active’ is but whenever we do that with fashion, we really keep it within the sport realm so whether it’s the styling or the details or the fabrication we will always reference back to sport but we will push it in a fashion perspective,” Edwards said.

Edwards is currently preparing for her first stand alone runway show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia in May.

The annual fashion event will be held at Carriageworks in Eveleigh from May 12-18.
