Phillip Bush
Stylist
Phillip Horatio Bush is a stylist, creative director and musical director based in London, who has worked across music, fashion and entertainment.
Bush's first foray into fashion came through selling and curating vintage clothing in Camden market. At the time, he was immersed in London club culture, from electronic to Northern soul and everything in between. Through this, his love of music gave him unique access into subcultures and style, and his stall became a go-to for club kids, fashion stylists and designers. This led to commissions researching and collecting vintage inspiration for fashion brand development from Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Levi's, amongst others.
Bush continues to consult with fashion brands, including a previous role as Creative Director of menswear start-up Corinthian, to turn the story, ethos and legacy of the Corinthian football team (1882-1939) into a contemporary menswear brand. Using his knowledge of historic menswear to develop a modern visual signature, his role was to oversee all creative elements from initial brand development to sample production.
Bush is also Contributing Fashion Editor of the New Order magazine, and has styled editorials for numerous other magazines and brands such as Hunger, Jocks and Nerds, New Era, Paul Smith and more.
As a stylist and costume designer for music videos, photoshoots, TV and films, Bush works with musicians, record label, actors and directors on their style. Musicians Bush works with include Moses Boyd, The Kooks, You Me At Six, Icona Pop, Carl Barat (Libertines), Incubus, Adam Jones (Tool) and Demob Happy. In film and TV, he has worked on independent shorts and features, including: Thousand Yesterdays, The Trivial Pursuit of Arthur Banks, Everything Carries Me To You, and The Vintage.
Whilst he was singer of the band Cazals, Bush's distinctive sense of personal style became a favourite with designers, and he was street-cast for catwalk shows including Takeo Kikuchi in Tokyo and Comme de Garçons in Paris. Hedi Slimane (at that time Creative Director of Dior Homme) saw Cazals perform and enlisted Bush as a model and collaborator; Slimane shot the band many times for publications such as V Man and Libération. Cazals toured extensively for seven years with bands spanning from Babyshambles to Daft Punk. They released five singles, culminating with an album on renowned French label Kitsuné.
A close relationship with Paris and the city's nightlife scene also led Philip Bush to a two-year tenure as Musical Director of nightclub Le Baron, when Andre Saraiva opened his London outpost. During this time Bush worked alongside a host of talent such as Kanye West, Been Trill, Trevor Jackson, Chromeo, Sebastian Tellier and The Drums,amongst others, and has held a number of DJ residencies.
Phil is also Musical Director and co-founder of LDN Selective, a creative music agency covering everything from commercial music production to DJ booking. The agency specialises in mediating between the fields of design and sound, and building sonic identities for visual concepts.
