Cucculelli Shaheen FW24 at New York Fashion Week

Cucculelli Shaheen FW24 / Fall Winter 2024 at New York Fashion Week presents Seventeen Collection entitled Veritas

February 10, 2024 (New York, NY) – Cucculelli Shaheen presented Collection Seventeen (Fall Winter 2024), under the iconic mural of the New York Supreme Court.

Titled Veritas, Collection Seventeen is named after the goddess of truth in Roman mythology and embraces the core aesthetic of the New York-based brand –lush embroidery and a subversive edge while pushing the boundaries of traditional evening wear. The venue choice also influenced the designs. This Cucculelli Shaheen FW24, the creative partners revisited their classic constellation and zodiac themes after seeing the beautiful astrology mosaic floor at the courthouse.

“Showing during New York Fashion Week has allowed us to think outside the box and embrace new categories, such as suiting and separates, and to immerse our audience more completely into our world. This Cucculelli Shaheen FW24, we were deeply inspired by The Night Beats –we saw Danny perform just before starting to design, and his albums have been the soundtrack to the collection throughout the season,” say Anna Shaheen and Anthony Cucculelli, Co-Founders and Creative Directors.

As a constant for Cucculelli Shaheen, Cucculelli Shaheen Fall Winter 2024 collection revolves around opposites: chaos and classicism, vice and virtue, a feverish and dreamy city. Collection Seventeen introduces an oversized pajama hybrid set that can be worn with pants or solo with tights for a mini look, a tiered skirt combined with the hard edges of an oversized tuxedo coat, and a peaked strapless bustier dress with sharp angles styled with a soft petticoat skirt.

Details of Cucculelli Shaheen Fall Winter 2024, the designers play with oversized shapes, offering a twist to silhouettes traditionally used for menswear and women, such as men’s pajamas, overcoats, tulle petticoats, bustiers, and present a new crest hand-made in bullion for a rich touch on clean jackets and coats. Fabrics used include wool and silk tuxedo tailoring, stiff tulle, silk Moiré, silk georgette, and silk cady. The color palette goes from deep navy, silver, and icy shades of blue to pearl, powder, champagne, pink, gold, green, and black.

“Collection Seventeen is moody, dramatic, and romantic, mixed with New York cosmopolitan edge. The title of the collection being ‘Veritas’ makes showing at the New York Supreme Court building very appropriate and it is also a tattoo sported by one of us,” say Shaheen and Cucculelli.

Notable attendees of Cucculelli Shaheen FW24 included Ubah Hassan 209, Jessel Taank 175, Gigi Gorgeous, Paige Desorbo, Melissa Roxburgh, Victoria Brito, Jackie Aina, Dascha Polanco, Eva Marcille, Caylee Cowan, who were welcomed to the impressive central rotunda of the New York Supreme Court.
