As one of Australia&#8217;s most celebrated stylists her job is (in her own words) to &#8220;make atmospheres that make people insanely happy&#8221;. Her life&#8217;s work appears to be an ever-evolving, ongoing project. In addition to her work as a stylist, Megan has authored four beautiful books and established\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theschool.com.au\/\"><i>The School<\/i><\/a> and <i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-studio.com.au\/\">The Studio<\/a> \u2014 <\/i>spaces for inspiring, making, exploring and learning. Megan recently styled a beautiful shoot for Bohemian Trader&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/bohemiantraders.com\/new-arrivals\/\">Daydreamer<\/a> collection in Paris and we took the chance to get to know Megan a little bit better so that you can get to know her too!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">BT: It seems like your life\u2019s work as a stylist is an ever-evolving, ongoing project. Not only as a celebrated stylist for private and corporate clients but having What is it about styling that has sustained your passion and enjoyment throughout the years?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">MM: This is SUCH a good juice line of questioning! It\u2019s very important to know that styling is more about teaching your eye, rather than shopping. It\u2019s about knowing what the leave behind as much as it\u2019s about knowing what to take \/ buy. And this is what sustains me, I can hone my eye anywhere! Any place, any country, any season, I don\u2019t need to be flush with budget, it\u2019s all about curating and editing. \u00a0I will be doing this at 90, and I already can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">BT: Something that is so compelling about <i>The School<\/i> is how you generate experiences from a few distinct angles. Through classes, workshops and excursions you have created a community in which people can learn, make and encounter together. What would you say to someone thinking about taking the plunge into what The School has on offer?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">MM: I always tell people that timing is everything. Our classes are not every week, so I always think an investment in one of our classes is a beautiful synergy on both parts &#8211; The Schools and our students!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/316041489?title=0&amp;byline=0\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/316041489\">Daydreamer in Paris (by Megan Morton)<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/bohemiantraders\">BOHEMIAN TRADERS<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">BT: Travel seems to be such an integral component of what you do. Not only in drawing upon influences from a colourful variety of cultures but also sharing experiences of encounter and exploration through <i>The School<\/i>\u2019s Excursions. India, Tokyo and Paris are some of the upcoming excursions on offer. How did you come to be immersing yourself in these stunning locations with a small group of style-enchanted strangers?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">MM: It seems a natural extension to take people from a full day theoretical Masterclass to showing them the stylist\u2019s secret paris for 5 days. Learning by doing and seeing is what I like to think of it as. We have been so humbled by the response to our Excursions, they now seem a natural continuation of what we offer in our classrooms but with a sleep over component!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">BT: While we\u2019re following the travel thread, is there anywhere in the world that you haven\u2019t yet been, that you look forward to exploring?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">MM: I am so looking forward to my trip to Peru in 2020! \u00a0Because we are stylists first and foremost we have created weaving and walking, mountains and making. This to me is exhilarating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">BT: We see such a joyful boldness in your work. Sometimes expressed visually as colour or counterbalance. But boldness also surfaces in your ambition as you bring people together around a love of all things creative. This makes us wonder\u2026 what was the last big risk you took? Did it lead to new discoveries?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">MM: I decided to stop working for the whole of November, December, January and February. This has never happened in my adult lifetime. \u00a0I found this very hard to do as I had to let people I love working with go and really nut through the logistics of my business. \u00a0But of course, I am so deeply excited about the next phase, I am ready to rehire with new conditions and ways of work.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you feel inspired to step into a splendid new world of workshops, classes
