Air travel entails certain basic truths: the defiance of gravity, the company of strangers and the ups and downs of the in-flight menu. But when it comes to cabin crew uniforms, all bets are off. SingaporeAir Qantas emirates
flight attendants stand out from the crowd is possibly an understatement. The word baroque springs to mind when viewing the flamboyant purple and black Trelise Cooper uniforms, designed in 2010.
But what’s even more impressive is that the outdated present look isn’t the airline's greatest fashion faux-pas. Think “jellybean” mini dresses in the 1980s and a history of questionable hats – yikes.Simon Jersey-designed uniforms are instantly recognisable with their red hats, cream scarves and beige suits, which staff wear any time they are in public.
Perhaps more famous than their outfits is the female cabin crew members’ make-up routine. They must wear one of several approved shades of red lipstick to match the hat, put their hair in one of the accepted styles – French roll or twist or braids – and are encouraged to undergo a seven-step make-up routine.Filipino airline Cebu Pacific has had a raft of bold uniforms throughout the ages, including this orange and yellow affair said to symbolise the sun.
Not content with this daring look, the airline launched an even bolder, brighter, yellow number with denim accents – yes, denim – by Jun Escario in 2016. His casual debut in aviation fashion? Inimitable.
