We are saddened to hear about the recent passing of Hanae Mori, at the age of 96. Mori started her fashion career in Tokyo in the film industry in the 1950s and began presenting haute couture in Paris in 1977. Mori designed this “fifth generation” Japan Air Lines (JAL) uniform in 1970 for the airline’s first wide-body jet service. The dark blue polyester knit mini-dress was a striking departure from JAL’s earlier uniforms and is accessorized with a “rising sun” belt, a semi-rigid bumper brim hat, and a two-tone silk scarf. Mori’s next JAL uniform debuted in 1977 and was worn until 1987. The familiar dark blue polyester of the one-piece dress and jacket combines contemporary materials, took a distinct turn toward nostalgic traditionalism.
