40 Years Of BA Uniform!

To celebrate its 40th anniversary this week, Denise Van Outen (also 40 this year), has modelled vintage cabin crew uniforms from 1974 - the year BEA and BOAC merged to become British Airways.
 
 
The Hardy Amies uniform includes a two-piece thick woolen dark blue fitted knee length jacket to match. The outfit is completed with a red trim, white and blue neck scarf tied in a bow, and a petite hat which is affixed with a pin at the back, to reveal a slight fringe. Air hostess' would wear the uniform with thick black tights and block heel court shoes.
 
 


It's a long way from the current Julien Macdonald uniform, which offers waistcoats, trousers and skirts made in lightweight but durable material to withstand all climates crew may fly to.
