Yesterday I discovered the website uniformfreak.com, which features various stewardess uniforms from many, many airlines. Many of the uniforms, especially those of the current era, tend to be of a somewhat generic navy blue/black style - which makes those uniforms worn for flights to Hawaii and Tahiti even more exotic and appealing. These uniforms were often the first signs of color and exotica that the tourists would see, well before the aircraft even landed on the islands. The website does not provide direct links to the individual airline pages, so I am providing a list of those airlines with the most exotic/tropical stewardess uniforms. Go ahead and take a peek - for several of the airlines, you will have to scroll down to see the good stuff. http://www.uniformfreak.com/index2a.html Check out:
and although not Polynesian, check out the mod 1966 uniform from Air Braniff. My personal favorite uniforms are the batik patterns of Singapore Airlines. I can personally attest to how much the uniforms add to the pleasure of a 12 hour flight. Vern |
