A PIA
Air Hostess wearing uniform designed by Pierre Cardin. In 1966,
Pierre Cardin, the renowned French fashion designer, came up
with the legendary fawn colour uniform for summer and moss green uniform
for winter. The uniform consisted of a short, easy fitting
"A" line tunic, slim-line trousers and imaginatively moulded
dupatta that not only covered heads but also turned heads. The
uniform became an instant hit, the slim-line trousers
immediately were dubbed as 'PIA Pajamas'. Fashion-conscious
young ladies, all across Pakistan, copied Cardin's design
eagerly. This popular uniform design was used by the airline from 1966 to
1975 |
