Jojo Provatidou is Co - founder and Co - author of Fox&Squirrel. She moved to London several years ago where
she pursued a path in architecture. She soon realised that that was not
her dream and turned to fashion. Since then she has worked with the
like of Ana Sekularac, and Kabir and remains a fashion correspondent
for Greek publications. Though architecture did not prove to be the
career she wanted it has definitely influenced her fashion sense by helping her develop an acute feel and eye for design whilst perplexed structures are something she always looks out for.
Penelope Sacorafou is Co - founder and Co - author of Fox&Squirrel. She is half Greek half English and moved to London several years ago. Prior to this she lived in Paris and Edinburgh where she read History. Her mission is to break down national boundaries and promote young emerging artists. She considers the internet to be the best means to achieve either of the two. By categorising the work of artists based on medium rather than national origin Penelope hopes to eliminate the georgaphical limitations that prevent young artists becoming familiar with the work of others, network and exchange ideas. Amongst many other things Penelope is a Pisces, pretentious and a revolutionary and a materialist Marxist!
Venetia Van Hoorn Alkema is Fox&Squirrel's talented photographer. Our first collaboration took place in Paris where Venetia was studying photography at Speos. Before moving to Paris, she studied History of Art at the University of Edinburgh where her first forays into photographic theory and practice took place. Her studies in art coupled with her keen interest in fashion has inspired a unique fashion photography style which expresses today's fashion trends through the lens of 20th century paintings and sculptures. Venetia is currently working with Fox&Squirrel to produce a report on London's street fashion during LFW 2010. Venetia also works with musicians, stylists and as an events photographer.

She is currently completing a PhD at the London Consortium in which she examines the use of film loops by contemporary film artists.
