Synopsis : The airline uniform occupies a unique place in the history of women’s wear. For more than eighty-five years, the airlines’ passenger-service and safety professionals—variably called stewardess, hostess, and flight attendant—have been dressed in outfits designed to signify a distinct role in the workplace, project the identity of their employer, and reflect prevailing fashions of the times. These often conflicting demands of singularity, diversity, and conformity have created a distinct garment type, one that has penetrated deeply into the social conscience of popular culture while providing fashion designers with remarkable challenges and creative opportunities.

Abstract : You are invited to the final project conference for The Enterprise of Culture, a three-year European collaborative research project investigating international structures and connections in the fashion industry since 1945.

Fashion is often studied from a purely theoretical perspective, from a costume history or dress history viewpoint or from a popular media-driven vantage point.
