On the occasion of completing 85 successful years, Turkish Airlines has discovered a fresh look for its cabin crew. Yes, the carrier has introduced new uniforms which is planned to be effective after the launch of new Istanbul Airport in October 2018.
The company stated, ‘the new uniform is influenced by several classic details of Turkish culture and design. It features authentic traditional patterns such as ceramics, artisanal glassware as well as calligraphy incorporating contemporary elements and textures.’
The classy new uniform comes ready with a deep red shade and dark grey palette. The collection comprises gloves, hats, accessories, bags and dresses.
Ilker Ayci, the chairman of the airline commented, ‘Unlike any other carrier, Turkish airline too stands true to maintain the cultural elements of Turkish design. While being entirely professional, the newly designed uniform preserves its virtue of hospitality. We are immensely proud to join hands with creative talents who are skilled in incorporating practical and sophisticated designs.’
The national flag carrier actually paired up with Milan-based Haute Couturier Ettore Bilotta in order to design this dynamic cabin crew uniform. A fashion designer by profession, Bilotta was greatly inspired by Istanbul in the first go. He commented in an interview, ‘Istanbul, being a melting pot for age-old civilization and art features a unique richness of varied cultures. With a view to blend elements from traditional elements with the modern Turkish details, I actually paid much attention on modern lines to bring into limelight duality and contrast.’
The airline has paired up with Miles Aldridge, an artist and British shutterbug to shoot the new collection at several distinctive places at Istanbul.
