Flyblue, the Lacroix uniforms for women and pilots are fabulous. I can see why you wouldn't be sure about the red bow, but it's very elegant and distinctive.

I think the men's uniform is pretty bad ( braid on sleeves, no colour, strange fur hat)

I hope Air France has introduced the new uniform for everyone at the same time, unlike some airlines which introduced new uniforms in stages so that there were new and old uniforms mixed together on the same flight.

Bodum, I can\'t believe you miss the old Qantas uniform. It was dated when it was introduced!

I especially hated the double breasted jacket with gold buttons. Very unflattering: it made the slimmest f/a-s look as if they had paunches.

I have only two complaints about the new uniform:
1. The shade of brown used as the base of the print for mainline is too dull.
2. The quality of the fabrics. The threads come out of the printed fabric. The suiting loses its shape and has terrible pilling(balls of fluff forming on the surface). The shirting is too dense in weave for hot climates.
