Virgin pays tribute to ‘iconic’ uniform designer Vivienne Westwood

Westwood, who made her name from anti-establishment punk and new wave styles in the 1970s, created Virgin Atlantic’s current cabin crew uniform worn by staff since 2014.

Posting across its social media yesterday, the airline called Westwood “a true British icon” and a “visionary”.

Revealing the new uniform in July 2014, Virgin said Westwood’s creation aimed to “elevate air travel to the heights of its glamorous past”.

Ahead of the uniform’s launch, a group of TTG team members visited the airline’s Crawley headquarters to try it on and learn some tips from its styling experts.
