A new exhibition in the US is offering an insight into the different uniforms worn by flight attendants in the past.
The Museum of Flight in Seattle, US, opened the fashion show Style in the Aisle, which showcases a variety of iconic flight attendant uniforms from the past 80 years.
The exhibition featured creations from the 1960s and 70s, like hot pants, miniskirts, mink stoles, as well as designer dresses by Emilio Pucci and Jean Louis.
The show, which will run from January 29 to May 30, gives visitors the chance to see how much flight attendant uniforms have evolved over the years.
Here we give you a taste of some of the retro styles on show that will more than likely find their way back onto fashion in the not too distant future.
