First pics of Virgin’s new uniforms

Virgin Atlantic new uniform

Here are the first pictures of Virgin Atlantic’s new uniforms designed by Vivienne Westwood. And you can tell, the high collared jacket and crossover blouse with a touch of a frill! And for the guys (below) a wide-collared shirt, dashing red tie and piped-edged jacket.

From today 186 members of staff will be trialling them on board, at airports and in the Clubhouses. They’ll make sure they are comfortable and practical before the designs and fabrics are finalised and sent to the manufacturer. They are due to be launched next year.

Luke Miles, Head of Design for Virgin Atlantic, said: “It is extremely important when designing our uniform to include the people on the front line who will actually be wearing the garments. The uniform must represent the allure of the Virgin Atlantic brand, but we mustn’t forget about the practicalities and how the uniforms perform on a day to day basis. Although we have provisionally selected the fabrics, we are not afraid to re visit the work we have done should they not fare well in the wearer trials.”
