Parisian by birth, Hollywood costumer Jean Louis (1907–1997) designed for hundreds of leading ladies, including a famous strapless gown worn by Rita Hayworth in “Gilda.” A frequent nominee and Oscar-winner, Louis had a long engagement with United Airlines and created this uniform for the airline’s 4,500 stewardesses. In the 1970s, flight attendants started dressing in the spirit of “do your own thing.” These mix-and-match outfits by Louis remained unified by identifiable colors and patterns and included PANTS. This photo on United's Boeing 747 service features three different patterns, diamonds, stripes, and polka dots. Which one is your favorite? Image: United Air Lines, Jean Louis uniforms, c. 1973.
