On Wednesday 11th June 2025, our team, The Complete Novices team took part in the Big Shots 30th year anniversary at Holland and Holland's stunning shooting grounds location on the outskirts of London.

The Furniture Makers' Company annual charity event raises funds to support those in need in the British furnishing industry from within its ranks and those who have served in the past.

Complete's client, Furniture Village has been the sponsor of this event for the past ten years has provided exceptional and successful support to the charity.

Iconic fashion brand Ghost is launching a 30-piece curated collection showcasing the distinctive style of the Mitford sisters as portrayed in the upcoming drama series Outrageous. 

The summer Ghost | Outrageous edit merges the brand’s signature vintage-inspired elegance with contemporary silhouettes, drawing reference from the 1930s styles worn by Nancy, Diana, and Deborah Mitford in the new series.

Complete were delighted to work alongside our client, Ghost and UKTV on this collaborative project. The collection was shot by Daniel Fraser, after which our team worked on the retouching and post-production.

The wardrobe edit has been curated by Outrageous costume designer Claire Collins alongside Ghost’s Head of Creative, Katelijne Kotzé, with Ghost’s signature vintage-inspired aesthetic at its heart.

The collection is available to buy online. The TV show will air on U and U&DRAMA on Thursday 19th June 2025.

Finery London create sophisticated and timeless pieces for women in fine fabrics at an exceptional level of quality.

These impeccable items of clothing are mostly sold via online retailers and direct to customer from their website.

With such a majority of their stock being sold via the internet, a high level of photography is required to show the products at their finest.

Complete have an essential role to play as part of this process by managing all post production. Services such as adjusting tone and colour matching is vital to any e-commerce photography, as it avoids returns and shows the garments in their truest form.

Complete's HQ is situated on the borders of Kentish Town and Camden.

Kelly Street is tucked away off the busy Kentish Town Road and it's lined with multicoloured Victorian houses, like something out of the Paddington films.

This North London street with its pretty pastel houses and tree lined paths is a destination location for influencers, instagrammers and tourists. Something we witness on a day-to-day basis out of the window or while popping out for lunch, snapping their selfies and taking photographs.

Somewhere that remains a little more sacred and less frequented by the visitors to Kelly Street is Mario's Cafe. With a clientele made up of residents and regulars, Mario can offer up a full English or various Italian dishes to his loyal customers. As regulars ourselves, we were heartened to see Mario serving up a breakfast bonanza in a recent Burberry campaign video.

After our successful collaboration on a previous exhibition “I Still Believe in Our City” Complete were again approached by the V&A, London to recreate the artwork of rare posters planned for public display in the OSPAAAL exhibition.

OSPAAAL, is the acronym for the Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America. Based in Cuba, the organisation platformed anti-imperialist and revolutionary movements in the Global South through display of posters.

The Exhibition 3D Design was devised by London based architects and 2022 RIBA Journal Rising Stars, McCloy & Muchemwa to sit in the V&A's atrium gallery.

Seen here in the image adjacent is work in progress with proofs and originals being compared to closely recreate authentic looking posters using modern methods.

The fragility of this rare collection of posters means that mounting methods and exposure to light would cause irreparable damage to the original artworks. Complete were tasked to recreate one of each of the selected posters to be showcased for the exhibition chosen from the V&A's extensive OSPAAAL archive. The majority of the collection were printed in the 1960s and 70s, at the height of the movement using traditional printing presses. Our brief was to match the colours, paper stock and raw print style sympathetically, and in some cases slightly off-set so that when printed digitally and to the untrained eye, the posters mimicked their archive originals.
