This unusual fashion show saw genuine flight attendants from some 30 airlines take to the catwalk to highlight the care that goes into 09-1selecting the design, colours and form of the uniforms cabin crews wear on a daily basis at their jobs.

Spectators were treated to an array of chic cabin crew uniforms, featuring a wide ranging colour palette and variety of materials, including silk and tweed. A female flight attendant from Vietnam Airlines showed off the newest addition to the iconic ao dai – traditional Vietnamese dress – worn by staff.

Air India flights attendants sashayed across the catwalk in yellow and red saris, while Gulf Air’s female cabin crew wore a signature yellow scarf over a blue hat.

The display of airline fashion was staged to fall ahead of Flight Attendant Day marked in Russia on 12 July.
