VALENCIA, Calif., July 29, 2019 /CNW/ -- Luxury cruise line Cunard kicked off the company's 4th Annual Transatlantic Fashion Week at Sea the day before departure with a special "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in the flagship store's acclaimed Blue Box Cafe. Rose Marie Bravo, Vice Chairman of Burberry, welcomed special guests and the voyage's headline designer, British Milliner Stephen Jones OBE, to the exclusive event. Jones' eclectic designs have been making a mark on the fashion industry for more than 40 years, and his celebrity followers include Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Mick Jagger and Britain's Royal Family.

Located within the Tiffany & Co. Flagship on Fifth Avenue in New York City, the Blue Box Cafe reflects a modern luxury experience. The iconic Tiffany Blue® is at the forefront of the Blue Box Cafe. The Blue Box Cafe serves American classics made with the highest quality, regionally sourced ingredients. The simple menu – which evolves through the seasons – is a refined take on signature New York dishes, reinvented to be uniquely Tiffany.
