In 1955, designer Oleg Cassini introduced a fitted suit for TWA hostesses that was issued for five years. In a medium brown wool for winter, this summer version in lightweight green wool has a collarless jacket and belted skirt. The embroidered lettering was repeated on the cotton blouse. The colors were coordinated with the cabin interiors of the airline’s Lockheed Constellations for trans-Atlantic service at the height of the propliner era. #WomeninAviation More flight attendant fashion history will be on view in "Fashion In Flight: A History of Airline Uniform Design." Part of the exhibition is already installed, pre-security, in the International Terminal and the Aviation Museum and Library. #FashionInFlight TWA (Trans World Airlines) hostesses c. 1955 SFO Museum Collection Gift of TWA Clipped Wings International, Inc. 2002.113.388
