Cunard partners with Savile Row Master Tailer Kathryn Sargent
It was an exciting moment as Cunard Captain Inger Thorhauge met with Savile Row Master Tailor Kathryn Sargent for the final fitting of the uniforms before the arrival of the new ship, Queen Anne.
Kathryn Sargent, renowned as the world’s first female Master Tailor, collaborated with Cunard to design bespoke uniforms in classic blues, whites, and mess attire tailored for the next generation of Cunard Captains and Officers.
Drawing inspiration from the rich history of Cunard preserved in its archives, the new uniforms seamlessly blend the finest elements of British design and style with the esteemed heritage 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.”
