The week-long voyage aboard Queen Mary 2 will feature a Siriano runway show and exclusive Mackie auction plus workshops with Supermodel Coco Rocha
Cunard's Transatlantic Fashion Week voyage will depart from America for the first time this fall aboard the Queen Mary 2. The week-long cruise, slated to sail from New York to Southampton in October, will feature fashion icons and designers like Christian Siriano, Bob Mackie and Coco Rocha.
“Transatlantic Fashion Week has become a must-attend event since its launch in 2016, welcoming legendary designers from around the world to showcase their designs aboard the industry's most iconic ships,” says Katie McAlister, president of Cunard. “The 2025 Transatlantic Fashion Week will once again embark from New York, the fashion capital of the U.S., and continues Cunard's legacy of bringing high culture to the high seas.”
Siriano will headline the voyage with his first-ever runway show at sea, with designs from his 16-year career on display in the ship's Queens Room. He will also debut a one-of-a-kind nautical-themed dress, designed exclusively for Cunard, and he will host a Q&A with guests in the Royal Court Theatre.
“I am honored to headline the return of Transatlantic Fashion Week and partner with a brand that has such a longstanding history with the fashion industry and its icons," says Siriano. “The new custom piece I'll be unveiling on board draws inspiration from the sea and celebrates classic glamour synonymous with Cunard.”
Mackie will display pieces from his personal archive onboard, including celebrity gowns and garments from his couture runway collections. Some of Mackie’s sketches will also be up for auction and guests can enjoy a screening of his new documentary, "Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion,” followed by a Q&A with the designer.
“I've always believed fashion should be fabulous and a bit fearless, and a ship as glamorous as Queen Mary 2 offers the perfect setting to showcase these designs and connect with fellow fashion lovers,” says Mackie.
