The audience at the jeweller’s autumn/winter 2025 show were treated to a dark comedy by playwright Laura Waldron, starring LA Law’s Debi Mazar as a neurotic shopping channel presenter
Guests knew they were in for a treat when they walked into Senate House – the imposing academic building in London’s leafy Bloomsbury neighbourhood – ahead of Completedworks’ fashion week show.
The mystery performance teased in invitations manifested as a dark comedy by playwright Laura Waldron, starring American actress Debi Mazar as Julia, a QVC-style presenter who yo-yos between her droll on-screen persona and a frenetic, but relatably human, inner monologue. Alongside Mazar’s anguished performance, magnified in several TV screens positioned around the set, the brand’s autumn/winter 2025 jewels shone, replete with signature pearls and candy-like ruby red gems.
How did you rationalise staging a play, instead of presenting the pieces for people to look at up-close?
It’s quite nice to try and do something a little bit different for fashion week, because I feel like people really expect a static installation, but there’s something so special about a live performance.
