It comes after Pip was caught up in Sunday's sickening terror attack on Bondi Beach that left 15 innocent people dead.
Pip and her friend were left trapped under a van and surrounded by two gunmen during the deadly attack after spending a day at the beach.
The attack at Australia's most iconic tourist destination unfolded on Sunday afternoon as hundreds gathered to attend the Chanukah by the Sea event, marking the first day of Hanukkah.
Two heavily armed men, allegedly Naveed Akram, 24, and his father, Sajid Akram, 50, stood on a pedestrian footbridge and opened fire with military-grade weapons into crowds of locals, holidaymakers and families.
The P.E Nation fashion designer addressed her harrowing 15-minute ordeal in a lengthy Instagram post on Monday.
She described the attack as a 'crazy, wild, and unnecessarily brutal' act that unfolded 'among innocent people enjoying a glorious Bondi summer's day'.
Pip said she and her girlfriend Jess were leaving the beach and heading home when the shooting began, with the gunmen opening fire just metres behind them.

'The gunman fired his first round of shots right behind my girlfriend and I as we had just passed the bridge where they were standing, heading in the direction of the Jewish event/celebration on the Bondi grass,' she wrote.
'We immediately ducked between two parked vans as the shots continued to fire incessantly, and quite literally as close as two metres away.'
The pair were forced to take cover under one van as the gunmen circled above them.
'We had to immediately take refuge under a van and watched the gunman's feet with his gun pace in front of the van right at our heads, using the van as his post,' Edwards said.
'His feet were in front of the van and another gunman's feet were behind, circling the van.'
She said the ordeal lasted around 15 minutes, during which time they were frozen with fear and struggled to breathe.
'The shots kept firing and we rolled from side to side under the van to hide behind the wheels, as the gunmen's feet walked around us, trying not to be seen,' she wrote.
'We were under there for 15 minutes in complete panic, shock, almost frozen, couldn't breathe because we didn't want to be heard.'
Pip said surrounding cars, including the van they were hiding under, were being struck by bullets as the gunmen 'shot at everything and everyone'.
'I was convulsing with fear, trapped, thinking this was it for us, just monitoring the movement of their feet,' she said.
Pip also spoke about her love for her family, writing: 'I love my son beyond words, and I love my family and friends so much. Love is all that matters.'
