United Will Hit The Runway In 2011 With Cynthia Rowley-Designed Uniforms
It's amazing what you can learn on Twitter on a Friday afternoon, namely that United Airlines is all in a tizzy today over the announcement that a new look is coming for their flight attendants: uniforms by fashion designer Cynthia Rowley. Already, the Chicago Tribune is on the case, discovering that the redesign is the "first time in recent history that United has tapped a well-known designer for the job."
We're not so surprised however; Cynthia Rowley is a Chicago native, and United is not only based in Chicago, but calls the Willis (née Sears) Tower home. The new uniforms won't come until Rowley completes her trip to visit United employees in Chicago, LA, New York and London to ask them for their opinions. And although Rowley is known for her ready-to-wear designs for women, the United designs will cover all bases, literally: "The uniforms will be designed for flight attendants, pilots, customer service representatives and maintenance employees."

The Ladies Of KLM Debut Their New, Blue Fashion
The employees at KLM Royal Dutch Airlines are getting an early Christmas present. Earlier this month, new uniforms were revealed at an airline fashion show just for them. Unfortunately, the new uniforms are only for the airline’s female employees, so male fashionistas will just have to sit back and jealously look on. It’s not all bad for the male employees however, since they got an upgrade back in 2000.
Dutch designer Mart Visser has created the new uniforms, and they will start to appear in an international airport near you starting in April 2010. The airline has preserved its trademark blue color that it has used for many decades, but has given things a facelift with the completely new design. KLM is pretty pumped about the new threads, saying that it was just one way to show that they have confidence in their brand despite the current economic climate.
