Take a look at new uniform for British Airways staff:
British-Ghanaian designer Ozwald Boateng created the dress according to the airline's staff requirements. It was a five-year-long project by Boateng, delayed by two years due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The designer created a unique collection for the airlines staff. He took inspiration from the movement of air over an aircraft wing and the workers who fly in the planes, and created an airwave pattern on jackets, t-shirts, buttons, and ties. All the new garments feature jacquard fabric.
In an official statement, Sean Doyle, British Airways' Chairman and CEO said, “Our uniform is an iconic representation of our brand, something that will carry us into our future, representing the very best of modern Britain and helping us deliver a great British original service for our customers."
“From the very start this has been about our people. We wanted to create a uniform collection that our people are proud to wear and with the help of over 1,500 colleagues, we are confident that we have delivered this," he added.
