Pip Edwards shows off her trim pins in leather boots while bestie Jackie Henderson goes braless at ex Dan Single's Ksubi show at Australian Fashion Week
Pip Edwards was sure not to skip one of the biggest events on the Australian Fashion Week calendar. The designer headed to the Ksubi showcase alongside her best mate Jackie 'O' Henderson in Sydney on Thursday. The 45-year-old, who is the Creative Director for the brand run by her ex Dan Single, stunned in a black mini dress with exaggerated puffed shoulders. Long sleeves with a tattoo style design emerged from the frock, which was paired with thigh high leather boots that showed off her trim pins. Pip added statement hoop earrings, as well as a stack of bracelets and rings for accessories. For makeup, she chose a glowing look with a warm toned blush and a soft pink lip stain as well as winged liner, while pulling her hair off her face. Also making an impact was Jackie who chose a daring suit dress under which she went braless, showing off lots of bust. The unusual frock had a blazer upper and an asymmetrical element across the skirting. The radio queen added a pair of gold hoop earrings and had on a pair of simple black heels. For makeup she chose a rosy palette with a bold pink lip and lots of eyeliner while wearing her hair down in soft waves. Jackie was accompanied by her teenage daughter Kitty, 14, was who was chic in a black gown. Ksubi founder Dan Single returned to the spotlight with a bang on Tuesday as he launched his first fashion event since almost dying from a balcony fall in 2017. The designer, 47, 'fell three floors' from his room at Hotel Grand D'Amour in Paris in March 2017, shattering both his legs. But as he makes his comeback to the limelight at Australian Fashion Week, it seems his ex and fellow Ksubi colleague Pip Edwards was missing. Dan staged an art installation at AFW to promote his new book The Diary of a Naughtie Kid at Carriageworks, but Ksubi Creative Director Pip was nowhere in sight. The P.E Nation founder, who shares son Justice, 18, with Dan, was not pictured at the art installation, nor did she make any public comments about Dan's show. The installation took place at Carriageworks at 5pm, but Pip wasn't pictured on location until 6pm when she attended the Beare Park runway. It's unclear if Pip, who split from Dan in 2008, reached out to to her ex to support him privately or just made a low-key appearance at his show. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Pip for comment. Dan's book, which features photos and ephemera such as love letters, hate mail and newspaper clippings from Dan's reign in the fashion world in the 2000s, is 'a little snapshot in time when it was a magical moment to be alive'. The book is dedicated to his teenage son Justice, who he shares with P.E Nation designer Pip. The installation launching The Diary of a Naughtie Kid, which was attended by several hundred audience members at Carriageworks in Sydney, featured a heavily tattooed woman sitting upon a tin foil wrapped-couch surrounded by images from the tome.

Ksubi founder seen in public for first time in years as he launches Fashion Week event after stepping away from the brand and almost dying in balcony fall - but did ex Pip Edwards attend?
Ksubi founder Dan Single returned to the spotlight with a bang on Tuesday as he launched his first fashion event since almost dying from a balcony fall in 2017. The designer, 47, 'fell three floors' from his room at Hotel Grand D'Amour in Paris in March 2017, shattering both his legs. But as he makes his comeback to the limelight at Australian Fashion Week, it seems his ex and fellow Ksubi colleague Pip Edwards was missing. Dan staged an art installation at AFW to promote his new book The Diary of a Naughtie Kid at Carriageworks, but Ksubi Creative Director Pip was nowhere in sight. The P.E Nation founder, 45, who shares son Justice, 18, with Dan, was not pictured at the art installation, nor did she make any public comments about Dan's show. The installation took place at Carriageworks at 5pm, but Pip wasn't pictured on location until 6pm when she attended the Beare Park runway. It's unclear if Pip, who split from Dan in 2008, reached out to to her ex to support him privately or just made a low-key appearance at his show. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Pip for comment. Dan's book, which features photos and ephemera such as love letters, hate mail and newspaper clippings from Dan's reign in the fashion world in the 2000s, is 'a little snapshot in time when it was a magical moment to be alive'. The book is dedicated to his teenage son Justice, who he shares with P.E Nation designer Pip. The installation launching The Diary of a Naughtie Kid, which was attended by several hundred audience members at Carriageworks in Sydney, featured a heavily tattooed woman sitting upon a tin foil wrapped couch surrounded by images from the tome. Dan, who has rarely discussed his 2017 accident which happened at an upscale Paris hotel, revealed he ' died for ten minutes' after the fall, which left him in a coma. 'It made me stop, slow down and think about what I want in my life,' the designer told Confidential on Wednesday. 'I had a chance to start fresh and I have used that second chance to be of service and help to inspire.' Dan fell 35 metres from the fourth-storey balcony of Hotel Grand D'Amour in Paris in March 2017. The accident saw him plunge several storeys, shattering his legs and leaving him in a coma for eight days. The Daily Telegraph first reported Dan's fall, with a source telling the publication at the time: 'His legs are a complete mess; he won't be walking for a very long time. 'He is not in a good way. It's expected both he and Bambi will have to stay over there for quite a while because he's not able to fly.' The following month, Dan created a Go Fund Me page, writing he's 'been given a second lease at life'. 'It all sounds awful but the guy writing this mail has been given a second lease at life and is SO grateful, inspired and excited to be back soon,' he wrote on the page. 'I am also lucky to have my family here by [my] side, wife, mother, brother and at least a visitor a day.' Dan said at the time he was hoping to raise $250,000 to help pay for his recovery and any associated costs. 'Help fund the hospital bill, rehab bill, early flights home, being unable to make bread and work over the next [few] months and all the incidentals the family is covering at the moment,' Dan added. The entrepreneur also clarified the media reports were correct, and he shattered 'every bone from my feet to my hips and pelvis'. 'I fell three floors (35 metres) out of my hotel room in Paris, did a summersault and landed on my feet which saved my spine and my brain (a miracle says the doctor, one in 100 million chance).' Dan added about his recovery: 'I have been in a coma for two weeks, had eight operations and am covered in pins and bolts in my bones. 'I cannot use my legs for another month or two so will be in a rehab centre in Paris recovering.' Dan was labelled 'pathetic' for asking the public to raise the $250,000 to help cover his medical bills. An anonymous donor said: 'How come you can fund partying, drinking and overseas trips but not your own recovery?' 'I'll give you $5 with the sole intent of telling you what an idiot everyone thinks you are.' Dan later removed the crowdfunding campaign after it was met with an avalanche of abuse with the former BRW Young Rich-lister labelled 'disgusting' by commenters. He announced his his split with then-wife Bambi Northwood-Blyth in March 2018, exactly twelve months after his Paris balcony fall. Bambi tied the knot with Dan in Byron Bay in January 2014, with Bambi becoming a step-mother to Dan's son Justice, 10, at the age of 22.

‘Died for 10 minutes': Dan Single opens up about near-fatal fall in 2017
Sydney fashion designer Dan Single has opened up about his near-fatal fall from a four-storey hotel in Paris in 2017, saying that he 'died for 10 minutes'. Mr Single, who co-founded multimillion-dollar Aussie label Ksubi in 1999, landed feet-first when he slipped and plummeted 35 metres from the balcony of Hotel Grand D'Amour, where he was working with then-wife, supermodel Bambi Northwood-Blyth. He suffered a broken pelvis and hips, shattered legs, internal trauma and a blow to the head, and was in an induced coma for eight days afterwards and told he might never walk again. Eight years on, Mr Single told the story of the accident at Australian Fashion Week on Tuesday, where he launched his new book, The Diary of a Naughtie Kid. 'It made me stop, slow down and think about what I want in my life,' Mr Single, who shares a son with ex-partner and fellow designer Pip Edwards, told The Daily Telegraph. 'I had a chance to start fresh and I have used that second chance to be of service and help to inspire.' Mr Single said he 'made this book for my son, Justice, who is way too big now, and for the next generation to show them you don't need permission or training to create'. 'I like to think of myself and my crew as a bunch of beautiful weirdos and this book is for them,' he continued. 'It is not a life story, it is not even close … this captures a brief moment in time, the noughties. A moment in time when everything felt new, like there were no rules.' On the first anniversary of his accident in 2018, Mr Single shared images on Instagram of himself in hospital, injecting himself with painkillers, and an X-ray of his shattered pelvis. 'A year ago today I was dead. I had just fallen off a four-storey balcony in Paris. Landed on the road, broke lots of bones in my body, hit my head, DIED,' he captioned the post. '(I) came back to life, was in a coma for eight days. 'I had 10 operations to put this body back together again. Spent the next three months on my back in a hospital in Paris. I was told I might never walk again. 'I returned home in a wheelchair. Two months later I was slowly getting about on crutches. I knew that if I put my mind to it, and worked really hard I could recover again and walk again. I'm still doing it, recovering.' In the same post, he also revealed he and Ms Northwood-Blyth had split after almost four years of marriage. 'When I fell, my hips and pelvis broke in half and with that our co-dependent relationship broke too,' he wrote. 'We were no longer joined at the hip. Two people cannot live as one, it's not healthy. You can try but you're really living half a life. We both have our journeys to go on now, ones that we couldn't have gone on together. We are respectful and happy for what each other has got going on, no bad vibes. 'I will love her to the moon and back for eternity … I learnt a lot from her and am so grateful to have shared many adventures with this beautiful girl.'
