In a press release issued today, Cunard announced that Kathryn Sargent, a Savile Row pioneer and the world’s first female Master Tailor, has partnered with the luxury cruise line to design and create bespoke blues, whites and mess uniforms fit for the next generation of Cunard Captains and Officers.
Having pored over the Cunard archives for inspiration, the new uniforms weave the very best of British design and style with the heritage and prestige of ocean travel.
Captain Inger Thorhauge said: “It’s been a privilege to work with Kathryn and see how the style and elegance of her uniforms have come to life throughout the design and fitting process. I can’t wait to wear the new uniform with pride when I and my team will be welcoming guests for the very first time on May 3.”
Kathryn Sargent added: “I have long held a fascination and interest in the symbolism and structure of uniforms and working with Cunard. It has been a privilege to get to know Captain Inger and to work with a brand whose principles closely align with a shared sense of tradition, precision, craft, and putting the individual at the heart of what both do – and an appreciation for dressing appropriately with a sense of occasion, grace, and comfort.”
