    What does sustainability and / or sustainable fashion mean to you? Working toward a sustainable practice is something that’s really crucial to everything we do, whether it’s prioritising recycled/renewable materials, offsetting packaging consumption or trying to challenge consumerism in our design process. But we’re also realistic that we’re not where we would want to be yet in terms of all we could be doing – it’s a journey for us and there is still a lot more we could doing to improve our processes. What drew you to jewellery? I’ve always loved beautiful objects ever since I was a child but there’s something special about jewellery as a medium. You are working on a really small and intimate scale. An idea may be all encompassing but by channelling it into a piece of jewellery, people get the opportunity to engage, question and form an emotional attachment to it. What are your go-to pieces in jewellery and fashion? I think jewellery can be a really effective way of an adding an interest element to more simple, pared back outfits. I like to layer and to mismatch in slightly unexpected ways.
    How do you shop? I try to only buy pieces that I really love, avoiding trends that feel momentary or transient in favour of an aesthetic which is more poetic, graceful and long-lasting. What is the definition of a forever piece? A piece that remains relevant even when the world changes. What would you like the future of fashion to look like? Fashion as an art form always seems to reflect what is happening culturally in society. And I think there has been a really positive shift towards people taking on sustainability and activism as part of the fabric of their brand and I hope this continues. I do really think that slow and sustainable is the more future proof approach. What is the future for Completedworks? One of the most rewarding aspects of having your own brand is the people and creatives you get to meet and work with along the way so I hope our future will be filled with interesting collaborations that challenge and excite us. What are your favourite pieces from Relove x Completedworks? That is like picking a favourite child! I love the soft and puffy folds in the Crunched ring. It’s so satisfying to look at.
