1. Etihad's Women Cabin Crew Forbidden To Wear Trousers
It's 2015 and an airline refuses to let the women in its cabin crew wear the trousers from its newly designed uniforms. Gulf carrier Etihad has confirmed to RGN that, while its newly designed uniforms were created with a trouser option, flight attendants will only be allowed to wear skirts. Etihad's new uniforms, designed at great expense by Italian couturier Ettore Bilotta, and unveiled in a runway event at Abu Dhabi airport last month, build on the airline's Facets of Abu Dhabi rebrand, which continues throughout the carrier's lounges, aircraft livery, new aircraft interiors and older aircraft cabin refreshes.

We are in love. It’s official. Alitalia’s new uniforms which were revealed yesterday in Rome epitomise the JetSet era nostalgia that airlines around the world are trying to recapture, but done with an iconic Italian twist that screams style and glamour. Designed by Ettore Bilotta, a Milan based haute couturier, the striking new look has been designed and tailor-made by a team of nearly 500 people in Italy, with fabrics made in Tuscany, silk in Como, men’s uniforms tailored in Puglia, and leather accessories such as gloves in Naples, and shoes in the Marche region – all re-imagining the 1950’s and 60’s.

I was doing my daily browse through Pinterest and came across this eye-popping photograph of two ladies wrapped around the staircase of an airplane cabin, unmistakably decked out in head to toe Pucci prints. By now we’re probably all aware that mid-century air travel was the bee’s knees, but surely, no airline ever actually dressed their flight crew like this? A quick reverse photo search in Google later, and I discover a whole new chapter of airline fashion history I somehow missed. These uniforms were in fact one of many ensembles designed by Emilio Pucci for the now defunct Texas-based airline, Braniff. Oh, and this was the swinging ’60s after all, so you can expect all political correctness to go flying out the cabin window right about now…

China-based Hainan Airlines is taking cabin crew fashion to the next level after it debuted its new uniforms last Tuesday at Paris Couture Week. One thing we do have to point out is that the fashion ad campaign is lacking in models of color. If Kenzo managed to fly in 83 models of Asian descent during the unveiling of their 2018 spring collection in Paris, then so can Hainan Airlines. One of the Hainan uniforms is reminiscent of the school attire worn by Harry Potter character, Fleur Delacour.
Designed by Laurence Xu, the fifth-generation uniforms combine elements of “classical, time-honored Oriental aesthetics and the silhouette of a modern Western suit” for repurposing the stylish traditional Chinese cheongasm dress. The uniform also features traditional Chinese art such as cloud patterns, as well as the sea and mountains, and even the roc, a mythical bird symbolizing strength.

She looks like a vacationer and not a flight attendant, but that's just what she was! In 1968, "Flower Power" was integral to Hawaiian Airlines' Fashion Flight Attendant Plan. Attendants wore an A-line dress designed specifically for the airline by Tiger Fabrics of New York. Fresh Plumeria flowers were worn in the hair as part of the ensemble with pale yellow tights accentuating the look. The Evins Shoe Company designed the shoes, and the yellow leather purse was designed by New York fashion house, Park Lane.
