‘FX is a fantastic showcase of all that’s great in our industry, thanks to their incredible editorial team.’

Sean Weston, Project director, Astudio

‘Congratulations to Theresa and the team at FX on 25 fantastic years. At Astudio we’ve been reading FX magazine for a long time and enjoy the news on international projects and products and the carefully considered and comprehensive contributions and opinion pieces communicating the thoughts and theories driving contemporary design. In sharing these new developments with readers around the world, FX drives innovation and nurtures discussion and debate within the design industry. We look forward to the next 25 years!’

Lee Penson, CEO Penson Group

‘Every debate I’ve enjoyed with Theresa involves wine. The more wine, the greater the debate, on a self-perpetuating basis. #FUN #GAMECHANGERS.’

Colin Allan, Managing director, Morgan Lovell

‘A child of the Nineties, FX has all the charisma that made the decade famous, especially its colourful and disruptive thinking. It has gone from strength to strength, and in my 15 years of interior it-out it’s been a reliable source for inspiration – and, of course, a sensational, annual, post-awards headache. If it wasn’t for Theresa [Dowling, current editor] I don’t believe the magazine’s reach would be what it is today; her infectious enthusiasm is certainly evident throughout its pages. Happy birthday FX! Here’s to the next 25 years!’

Cherrill Scheer, Director CSA Associates

‘My memory of FX goes back to the very start. FX was a very different publication from its competitors in our industry at that time, when trade magazines were very dull.

Over the years I have worked closely with all the editors from the founding editor, Janine Furness, to Aidan Walker, Gareth Gardner, Antonia Ward, Garry Mason, and current – and the longest serving editor of all time – the formidable Theresa Dowling.

It has been a great delight to attend the numerous FX Design Forums, held on all types of topics, which have been brought about and chaired by Theresa with such enthusiasm. Anyone who has been near Theresa, prior to the FX awards, knows the anguish she puts herself through to reach the right results.’

James Burke, Creative director, Acrylicize

‘FX is always a source of reference and delight! it keeps us all up to speed with what’s going on and who’s doing what (and which projects we wished we had done!). One of the great feelings that we had was walking up to receive our Breakthrough Talent award at the FX Awards: it felt amazing. That will always be a great moment for us. And as for comments on the editor, Theresa is always pushing for mad ideas – I love it!’

Tim Bowder-Ridger, Senior partner | CEO, Conran+Partners

‘I was a bright-eyed student when FX launched in the midst of a recession with a nasty bite. Having a new design magazine land on my lap felt like light at the end of a very long tunnel.

FX has always been an excellent magazine for exploring so many aspects of the design world. Being a collaborative design studio, my sta¬ appreciate its broad range of articles – always written with much opinion, which I like.

Don’t ask me about the last awards we attended. My colleague tells me there was plenty of drunken dancing. I was clearly having too much of a good time to remember!

Although we’ve featured in the magazine many times, a recent highlight was our Walthamstow Stadium project making the front cover. Theresa Dowling is the face and soul of FX magazine. You know a night out with Theresa will be good fun.’

Alex McCuaig, CEO MET Studio

‘Congratulations Theresa and team. FKNXLENT.’
