VALENCIA, Calif., March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This is the moment Cunard
captain, Inger Thorhauge, met Savile Row Master Tailor Kathryn
Sargent for a final uniform fitting ahead of new ship Queen Anne's arrival.
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."

ABOUT KATHRYN SARGENT:
Kathryn Sargent is Savile Row's
first and only female Master Tailor and the original woman in
London to hold the prestigious
title. Kathryn spent many years honing the skills, attaining the
qualifications and setting up her own business – all of which led
her to being entitled to hold that precious title. All the more
impressive in this once strictly for men, by men, world. Kathryn
brings a calming positive female energy to the male-dominated
industry of tailoring – delivering a freshness and a woman's eye to
her creations. In another break from tradition, Kathryn offers
bespoke tailoring to both men and women.
Kathryn was the logical choice for Cunard as both these
prestigious brands deliver unforgettable once in a lifetime
experiences. Kathryn began her career at Gieves and Hawkes, the
original Naval tailors of No.1 Savile Row, where she spent 15 years
honing a depth of knowledge and understanding for uniform code and
history. Working alongside one of the last members of the founding
family (Mr Robert Gieve), she rose
to the position of Head Cutter, and became the first woman to ever
do so in the entire history of Savile Row.
In 2012 Kathryn founded her eponymous tailoring house,
establishing her atelier in Mayfair. It was in 2016 that she
achieved the historic first and became Savile Row's first and only
female Master Tailor. 'Savile Row Tailoring' is a set of tailoring
standards and relates to the skills used to craft tailored
garments, rather than the geographical location. Most recently, in
2023, Kathryn expanded the Kathryn Sargent Bespoke brand to open a
second atelier on Edinburgh's Howe
Street.
