Dubbed “The Uniform for the Superjet Era,” and created for the new wide-body jet service, this uniform marked a new direction in Pan Am’s approach to fashion. It was created by #FrankSmith (1927–2007), chief designer at career wear manufacturer #EvanPicone, to be “a functional and fashionable wardrobe that could be worn in all seasons, and of such quality that it would enhance the Pan Am image.” See "#FashionInFlight: A History of Airline Uniform Design", pre-security, in the Aviation Museum and Library and the Main Hall of the International Terminal. The Aviation Museum is open daily, from 10am to 4:30pm, except holidays. http://bit.ly/fashioninflight
