Cunard's Transatlantic Fashion Week Returns

Cunard's much-anticipated Transatlantic Fashion Week is back, and this year's event promises an unforgettable experience on the iconic Queen Mary 2. For the first time, the cruise will embark from the United States, setting sail from New York City to Southampton, England from October 31 to November 7, 2025.

This event has quickly established itself as a premier highlight on the fashion calendar since its inception in 2016, drawing attention from fashion enthusiasts worldwide. According to Katie McAlister, Cunard's President, this year’s Fashion Week is special not just for its unique location but also for its prestigious lineup of legendary fashion talents. The cruise intends to celebrate creativity, craftsmanship, and couture through Cunard's renowned white star service.

A Star-Studded Lineup

The voyage will be headlined by the talented CFDA designer Christian Siriano, marking his first-ever runway show at sea. Guests aboard the ship can expect a showcase of his impressive 16-year archive in the glamorous setting of the ship's Queens Room. Siriano’s work has been worn by an impressive roster of celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Julia Roberts, and Michelle Obama, among others. Notably, Siriano will also unveil a one-of-a-kind nautical-themed dress, specifically designed for the occasion, which will be prominently displayed throughout the sailing.

In addition to Siriano's runway presentation, attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to engage in a Q&A session with him at the Royal Court Theatre. Plus, the chance to meet him during book signings adds an intimate touch to the experience.

Another legendary figure, Bob Mackie, known for his extravagant designs that have adorned stars like Cher and Madonna, will also take part in this spectacular week. Mackie will exhibit selections from his personal archive, including celebrity gowns and sketches from his iconic runway collections. Guests can look forward to a unique event featuring a special screening of his new documentary, "Bob Mackie Naked Illusion," followed by a live Q&A with the designer.
