french airlines
The fact that the French Airlines crew uniform was designed by Christian Lacroix says it all! Everything is thought out in an elegant image - from shoes to a belt and gloves. The image shows French sophistication and taste. It should be noted that flight attendants in such outfits look better than first-class passengers. It’s a pity that you can’t buy such a uniform in duty-free. In addition to this image, the designer has developed a number of elements that can be combined at the request of the stewardess.
And this approach to working clothes is absolutely correct, because the crew must be completely outwardly consistent
If you carefully study the photos of flight attendants, which are in abundance on the Internet, we can conclude that special and separate attention is paid to the working wardrobe of the hostesses of the cabin of the liner. Today it is very curious to observe the variants of the form of stewardesses of Aeroflot and other airlines - not only Russian, but also global.
A flight attendant's suit is not only a uniform. In fact, this is an important part of the overall image of the air carrier. After all, it is the flight attendants that a person pays attention to when he climbs the ladder of an aircraft.
And if there are serious requirements for the appearance of the stewards, then exactly the same should be used in relation to their work clothes. And such close attention to the working suit of the crew is manifested in different airlines of the world.
The clothes of representatives of aviation crews changed constantly. She is always influenced by fashion. In this case, the form must always meet the following points:
- be classic
- Be elegant
- Comply with modern standards
- Have democratic directions
What should be the working suit of a flight attendant
The uniform of the stewardess meets all the principles of elegance and is an example of excellent taste. Moreover, each airline tries to create work clothes for its staff so that there is a highlight - a recognizable style. But at the same time, experts note that each wardrobe must meet a number of nuances:
- The appearance of a flight attendant must inspire confidence, evoke exclusively positive associations in the passenger: therefore, it is not uncommon for airlines to involve their customers in creating overalls for flight attendants - they conduct surveys, collect focus groups, etc.
- The flight attendant should be associated with the airline from the very first minutes: the outfit is created as exclusive, but at the same time they should directly reflect the carrier's branding and be unlike the clothes of other companies
- The suit must necessarily meet the requirements of convenience and functionality - after all, the flight attendant has to perform a huge number of functions in flight. In addition, the uniform should be comfortable even if the plane crashes - clothing should not interfere with the crew's duties to rescue passengers.
General image of flight attendants
In the image of the employees of the liner, everything should be thought out. The instructions even spelled out hairstyles and manicure color. So, all flight attendants should be dressed in outfits that fit perfectly, clean and ironed. As for hairstyles, hair should be clean and tucked away as much as possible - business hairstyles are welcome: buns, shells, etc. The condition of the hairstyle should be monitored throughout the voyage.
Be sure to have makeup, but not bright, but neat. Particular attention in the instructions is given to the condition of the hands - a manicure should be, and the nails should be of the same length (about a couple of mm from the fingertip). If the nails are varnished, it should be monophonic. A minimum of accessories is allowed.
World standards
Today in the world there are several trendsetters of heavenly fashion, which everyone looks at and equalizes. The flight attendants of Qatar Airlines are considered the most stylish. The company's stylists preferred retro options. The uniform of the flight attendants here is maroon. Due to the combination of deep color and neat cut, an optimal tandem is created. At the same time, the crew members are always smart and have an impeccable appearance.
Many look with envy at the flight attendants of another Arab airline - Emirates. They are dressed in beige suits, which are particularly strict. On the head of the flight attendants is a scarlet cap. Under it is a mandatory scarf. The company is luxury, and its entire crew personifies to the fullest.
The airline has strict rules about bright colors in the appearance of the crew. Flight attendants can be reprimanded for not wearing bright enough lipstick, for example.
Air France flight attendants are also very elegant. They are dressed by the famous couturier - Christian Lacroix. The suits are made with a predominance of dark blue with the obligatory white cuffs on the sleeves. But French women would not be French if they did not use piquant details even in a strict outfit - they have a wide red belt in their uniform. In addition, they perfectly complement the uniform with silk gloves and hats.
Russian variants
Russian fashion also has something to brag about. So, for example, the uniform of Aeroflot flight attendants has been repeatedly recognized by leading experts in the fashion world as worthy and beautiful.
Today, the girls in this airline are dressed in bright orange suits. The set consists of a skirt and jacket. The uniform comes with bright red high-heeled shoes and white gloves. Moreover, despite the outward simplicity of the outfit, its cost is quite high - about one and a half thousand dollars. According to some experts, the uniform of the largest national carrier often resembles the costumes of the mistresses of the sky of the 60s.
Ural Airlines dresses its flight attendants in a dark uniform, complementing it with branded neckerchiefs. The ladies on board also wear pencil skirts and jackets.
S7 prefers dark gray in the clothes of their employees. The whole form is also made in a classic style.
All outfits fully reflect the character of the carrier and his goals. Flight attendants are judged not only about the airline, but also about the country as a whole, the aviation giants are sure.
