It occurred to her that in this dream she was Camille Claudel herself. She studied her hands like they were underwater... The lines of her palm. The blue vein under her wrist, splitting off, like a fork inthe stream... Fatima Farheen Mirza, “A STONE IS A SMALL MOUNTAIN” |

Seeking harmony in the malleable and the tactile, Spring/Summer 2025 proposes a dreamlike blurring of the distinctions between the intractable and the unyielding, the frozen and the flowing. Across earrings, necklaces and rings, formal possibilities are usurped and juxtaposed: the rigid flows with the lightness of fabric, the adamantine becomes seemingly effervescent. From this point the collection shifts to grid - like pieces in a motif previously unexplored by Completedworks.In a continuing expansion of the jewellery context through narrative association, creative director Anna Jewsbury once again commissioned an original work by author Fatima Farheen Mirza for the SS25 show entitled ‘A Stone is a Small Mountain” performed live at Gordon Square Park in Bloomsbury, London. "When Anna approached me to write another piece for Completedworks, I'd just visited the Camille Claudel exhibit at the Getty and was haunted by her story. I knew I wanted to expand on last season's monologue and write a micro play. The play that has emerged is about an art historian and biographer named Aliza, working on a book about Camille Claudel. I was interested in exploring the challenges women and in particular, female artists face and the echoes of their story across time. As well as the way they find freedom through mischief and play." Fatima Farheen Mirza

Bags Anchored by bow motifs, Completedworks continues to explore an elegant, yet disruptive practicality through bags. A bucket bag is introduced for the first time that reimagines the classic silhouette and accentuates our sculptural design language while continuing the use of deadstock leather.
Homeware The poetics of the humdrum lend shape to this season’s homeware: patinas are eschewed, surfaces left simple, distortions kept to their minimal, but the carafes are dressed in bows.
