Julie Bishop and Pip Edwards: inside the friendship you never knew about

Something To Talk About

At first glance, they may not seem to have much in common. Julie Bishop is a former foreign minister and current university chancellor, while Pip Edwards is co-founder and creative director of one of the country’s most successful activewear brands.

But in the past five years, they have forged an unlikely yet extremely close friendship that has endured despite their vastly different backgrounds, careers, ages and family circumstances.

So what happens when you put Bishop and Edwards - who are undoubtedly two of the most talked-about women in Australia - in front of a microphone? We invited them in to the studio for a lively and free-flowing conversation to find out what they have to say about supporting each other through media scandals and relationship woes, how they handle the paparazzi (even the ones who - yes - hide behind garbage bins), their mutual fashion for passion and what they’re texting to one another in private.
