Anthony Cucculelli and Anna Shaheen returned to New York Fashion Week with a collection that balanced structure and fluidity, embracing both power and romance. Their signature embroidery and intricate embellishments were paired with a bold mix of textures, animal prints, and silhouettes reminiscent of the 1960s.
