Luxury cruise line Cunard is set to elevate the world of fashion on the high seas with its announcement of the 2025 Transatlantic Fashion Week, headlined by the internationally renowned designer Christian Siriano. Known for his boundary-pushing designs and his commitment to inclusivity, Siriano will join the iconic voyage aboard Queen Mary 2 to bring his flair and creativity to this unique event. This voyage promises to be a spectacular celebration of fashion, style, and glamour, all while sailing across the Atlantic.
Since launching his brand in 2008, Christian Siriano has carved a niche for himself as one of the most versatile and forward-thinking designers in the industry. With training from legendary fashion houses like Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen, Siriano's designs have graced the red carpets, adorning stars such as Lady Gaga, Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Kamala Harris. His brand celebrates diversity and beauty in all forms, a philosophy that aligns perfectly with Cunard’s legacy of elegance and innovation in travel.
Celebrating his 15-year milestone, Siriano has consistently pushed the boundaries of fashion, creating pieces that combine old-school glamour with contemporary twists. His presence on board Queen Mary 2 during the 2025 Transatlantic Fashion Week is a testament to Cunard’s dedication to blending classic sophistication with modern style.
As the headline designer, Christian Siriano will unveil a selection of his archival pieces during an exclusive runway show in the Queens Room. The runway show promises to be a visual feast, where guests will witness Siriano’s creativity and innovation up close. Known for his bold silhouettes, intricate details, and vibrant designs, Siriano’s collection is sure to leave an indelible mark on the passengers of Queen Mary 2. This showcase is more than just a fashion show; it's an intimate look into the artistry and vision of a designer who has continuously redefined what fashion means in the modern era.
In addition to the runway show, passengers on this unique voyage will have the chance to engage with Christian Siriano in a live Q&A session held in the Royal Court Theatre. This exclusive opportunity allows guests to delve into the mind of one of fashion’s most creative talents, exploring his journey from a student under McQueen to an industry leader in his own right. Guests will gain insights into his design process, his inspirations, and what it means to innovate in an ever-evolving fashion landscape.
For those looking to take a tangible memory from this experience, Siriano will be available for book signings, giving guests a personal connection with one of fashion’s brightest stars. This personal touch further cements Cunard’s dedication to offering not just luxury travel but unique experiences that resonate with its guests on a deeper level.
Cunard’s Transatlantic Fashion Week is a cornerstone of its Event Voyages, conceptualised by the legendary Gail Sackloff OBE. Since its launch in 2016, the event has brought together some of the biggest names in fashion, such as Dame Zandra Rhodes, Julien Macdonald, Virginia Bates, and Stephen Jones OBE.
