Philippa Moroney

FASHION STYLIST

In preparation for a shoot in her role as senior fashion editor and market director at Vogue Australia, Philippa Moroney will have every look planned and fitted beforehand so she knows exactly how everything will play out. Not so for the story she collaborated with photographer James Tolich and Vogue Living’s style editor Joseph Gardner (page 29). “James, Joseph and I all worked together on the looks and how they would work back with the furniture pieces on the day,” she explains. “It was a true melting pot of spontaneous creativity, I loved it.” The other big difference? The amount of clothes and accessories packed. “I took way more looks as options than I ever would’ve on a Vogue shoot, and that’s saying something!” Moroney has styled covers and fashion and celebrity shoots for more than a decade and though her creative process is dependent on the original brief, “whichever way I work, I need to be extremely organised and methodical whilst being creative and malleable.” @pipmoroney
