Christian Lacroix for CityJet

French fashion designer Christian Lacroix, known for his couture designs, has re-designed the uniforms for CityJet flying personnel.

The uniforms, predominantly navy blue, with white shirts and a touch of the airline’s corporate colours, will be worn by cab and flight crew from December 1. The main difference with the new uniform is that pilots, stewards and attendants will all wear the same colour combination, before the pilots uniforms used to be black.

The regional airline, which flies into London City Airport from across Europe, has unveiled the new uniforms to unify the flying personnel and to present the CityJet company colours, taupe and red within the designs, as well as making the fabric better quality and more durable.

Christian Lacroix isn’t the first fashion house to redesign air stewardess uniforms, earlier this year Virgin America staff showed off their new attire designed by Banana Republic.
