Right now, I am feeling very inspired by flight attendant uniforms from the 1960s and 70s--really, the golden age of high altitude fashion. Signatures of this era include brightly colored, psychedelic scarves, crisp blouses and bold, striking color combinations. Flash forward over thirty years to today and these touches--prints, colorblocking and feminine shapes--are easily found. No, not in the friendly skies, but at the hottest e-shops and poshest department stores around. Flight Attendant Chic is ready to take flight.
