The design duo’s couture, ornately-embellished eveningwear hugs every curve just-so. Grounded in strength with high necks, long sleeves, and armour-like gunmetal, Fall debuts pale green, Milky lilac, and queen of the night florals, alongside signature constellation embroidery, culled from real star formations.

The buy: the platinum fringed maxi trimmed with metal braids (it required 1,925 hours of handwork).

The womenswear brand, founded by Cucculelli and Anna Shaheen (partners in work and in life), has created a process that is set to revolutionize the couture industry while making it more sustainable. With nearly perfect patternmaking, the supply chain is streamlined, thereby decreasing fabric waste. As a rule, they don’t do production runs—once a client chooses the dress, they can go straight to production.

Such an advanced approach to fashion may sound a bit cold, but Cucculelli Shaheen’s collections are anything but. Dripping in details, covered in beautiful beadwork and embroidery, they are the dresses most women dream about. Founded in 2016, the brand has managed to fly above seasonal restrictions. Creating three collections so far (available exclusively online on Modaoperandi.com), they have quickly become a favourite for weddings, galas, and red carpets.
