For her experimental and innovative womenswear, Fox has blurred boundaries between fashion, science, and technology. She has worked with scorched felted wool and burnt cotton bandaging as well as negative imagery printed onto fabric. Braille, Morse code, and MRI studies are among the elements informing her work. “There should always be a personal reason for design; it should come from looking at the world around you and really seeing it.”

“Research and experimentation don’t necessarily make it into a design in a literal way,” says Fox, “but they are part of the process of investigating, understanding context, and questioning what you are doing and why you are doing it."

“We want to encourage students to develop their creativity, but also provide them with a reality check,” says Fox. “Ultimately, a design has to hold up on its own and prove viable in the world.”
