Milliner Stephen Jones collaborates with Cunard

British milliner Stephen Jones is collaborating with luxury cruise line
Cunard on a hat to form part of a catwalk show during the ocean liner’s
summer Transatlantic Fashion Week on board Queen Mary 2.

Jones, who has designed for royalty including Princess Diana, Princess
Eugenie and the Duchess of Sussex, drew inspiration for the hat from
Cunard’s rich heritage and the “emotive experience” one gets while sailing
across the Atlantic on the luxury liner, Queen Mary 2, the designer
explained in a press statement.

“There is something truly unique about travelling across the Atlantic
onboard Queen Mary 2 for a Transatlantic Crossing. It is an experience that
never leaves you and this emotional connection that guests have for this
voyage, in addition to Cunard’s history, provided the perfect inspiration
to create this headpiece,” added Jones. “I wanted to design something that
was strong and bold – yet elegant and regal, like a crown. The hat is a nod
to the beauty of the sea but also the glamour of ocean travel that Cunard
epitomises.”

Jones continued: “The look and feel is modern and contemporary and could
be for the British Social Season. I’m particularly looking forward to
seeing the hat being worn at Gold Cup Day, Royal Ascot in a few weeks
time.”

Along with the exclusive hat, Jones will also be headlining Cunard’s
annual Transatlantic Fashion Week which departs New York on July 28, 2019,
arriving in Southampton seven days later on August 4, 2019. The British
designer will be offering guests insight on his distinguished career via a
series of talks and Q&As.

He will be joined during the fashion week by other industry names
including Stuart Weitzman, Hilary Alexander and Lindy Woodhead.

Josh Leibowitz, senior vice president of Cunard North America, said:
“The Transatlantic Crossing is our signature voyage and sailing on a Cunard
liner has long been synonymous with style and glamour. Stephen Jones is one
the most respected and innovative milliners of our generation; his
participation in Transatlantic Fashion Week this July 2019 illustrates the
distinctive experiences that are found only on Cunard.”
