French costume designer Jean Louis was known for dressing Hollywood royalty -- from Rita Hayworth to Marilyn Monroe -- but he also dressed flight attendants for United Airlines.
One of Louis' creations, an orange dress with white trim named "The Skimmer," is among a dozen uniforms going on display this weekend in a new exhibit at the Museum of Flight. "Style in the Aisle: The History of Fashion in Flight," takes off Saturday, featuring flight attendant uniforms from the 1930s to the 1990s.
Utstillingen varer til 2. juni.
