Stewardess Uniform Collection
Please  put your tray table up, fasten you seat belt, and return your seat back to its full, upright position. You're about to go on trip that will delight, amaze, and possibly disturb you. Cliff Muskiet, a Dutch flight attendant, is the perfect example of what happens when an innocent boyhood hobby turns into an adult obsession. After dabbling in aviation tchotchkes as a boy, he began collecting stewardess uniforms in 1980. Currently, his collection sits at around 220 uniforms from various airlines. Lucky for us, he's seen fit to dress up a couple of mannequins, take hundreds of photos, and build a web site to show off the uniforms. The collection features all shapes, colors, and sizes, including a few standouts, such as the sexy '70s skirts of Braniff Air, the ultra-casual outfits from Easy Jet, and the jaunty hats PanAm stewardesses donned 30 years ago. Unlike the pre-flight safety speech given by flight attendants, you'll be hard-pressed to ignore this fascinating look into flight fashion. (in Collecting) |
