PIA women staff new uniforms gives glamorous look

[LA se Karachi]

That's nice. But what about the food? If there's one thing that would make me choose PIA over other international airlines to visit Pakistan, it would be the potential to have authentic Pakistani food cooked to perfection.

 

[WOW_FACTOR]

The old dresses were much better.

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

As usual, Pakistanis trying to copy and be Arabs.

What's new.

You do realize it's a common headwear that helps cover the hair or keep hijab in place. It is also common in Southeast Asia.

It isn't new in Pakistan either.

Here is a picture of PIA hostesses from a couple years ago.

The uniform change was proposed in 2014 and a set of uniforms were presented in 2015 during the Runway collection.

Here were other proposed uniforms.

 

[WOW_FACTOR]

As usual, random Indian butthurt.

Oo yaar, We are just saying the Benazir Bhutto style was the best. Yeah wala style is no common Emirates, Etihad. Doesn't stand out as the one before

 

[Irfan Baloch]

New uniforms are fine but the main job of PIA management is to run the company on profit.

also improve the quality of service as well through good customer service, clean and pristine aircrafts , better food .. just changing a uniform and keeping it at the level of Pakistan railways will be a joke

Oo yaar, We are just saying the Benazir Bhutto style was the best. Yeah wala style is no common Emirates, Etihad. Doesn't stand out as the one before

you are right. its just wrong priorities.

Oh man what a horrid person this Syed Mubashir Imam is................Will he bother to replace his face with a "FRESH ONE" because himself isn't a charmer from any angle. Pakistani lot and their f...ked priorities are turning them into way more despicable people then they already were...Living in posh areas, driving latest model cars, making foreign tours and having exceptional looks ( mostly fair complexion) are the only acceptable norms for Pakistanis now.

wrong thread?

Nah, refer to post number 2 my friend.......Tweet by that concerned Pakistani regarding the looks of the staff.

 

[SOHEIL]

Oh hello there ladies, I mean the PIA!! Viper says it is TIME I flew and flew through the PIA. Number 2 and 3 from the left, seem very pleasant and will make excellent flight crew. I'd really like it if the PIA assigned them both to the business class when I travel with them. In fact, they are welcome to just be assigned to my seat only. Nothing wrong with that. I won't drink or do anything "American", I promise . At least one of them have to like the USA?? They carry American purses all the time

I won't drink or do anything "American", I promise

Use your hands pervert!!!

this is world class

From new services to new avatars, national flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has been making changes in the company’s outlook for quite some time now.

If you’re a fashion enthusiast get ready for these new wardrobe changes the airline has made for its cabin crew, including air hostesses and stewards.

The PIA cabin crew will now sport new uniforms by local designers.



The dress is designed by Nomi Ansari and the scarfs will be made by Sania Maskatiya.


The uniforms will be worn from August 14 onwards as PIA’s new premier flight takes off from Islamabad to London.

It looks like the airline has traveled a long journey of makeover.

High-end: PIA on the cusp of fashion makeover

The airline will begin their new Premier service between London and Pakistan on August 14 on their new fleet of A330-300s.

New dresses but they said there will be new faces

These uniforms are a rip off of Emirates...looks very Arabic.

The best PIA uniform was back in the 60s (I think) .

The coco Chanel designed uniform. Elegant, with a modern sensibility and really Pakistani looking.

Yes that was ironic

Here's a sneak peek at PIA's new uniforms

Nomi Ansari's latest design opens to mixed reviews

Some people aren't too revved about the new uniforms.


A new menu, new uniforms, new Premier service; PIA is pulling all stops in its attempt for an image makeover.

Late last month, it was announced that PIA had added three new planes to its fleet, which will be launched on Aug 14th under the banner PIA Premier.

Flight stewardesses of the same exclusive service will get a fashion makeover, dressed in uniforms by Nomi Ansari and a scarf print by Sania Maskatiya. About time too.

In an effort to revamp its doddering antiquated image, a fashion show had been organized in March last year by the authorities at Pakistan International Airlines, showcasing 16 designers’ proposed designs for updated flight crew uniforms. It was planned that the uniforms selected were going to be worn from 14th August 2015 onwards.

The implementation of the designs has been delayed by a year, now to be worn from 14th August of this year. Oh well, we’re used to PIA’s delays.

Nomi Ansari, the designer behind the new uniforms, who also won the design for PIA's uniform last year, shared a picture of PIA Premier flight attendants' redesigned attire.

NOMI ANSARI @NOMIANSARI PIA goes glamorous: Absolutely loving the new look of PIA cabin crew by @nomiansari

They are due to make their first appearance in flights bound for London. “There are three color-ways; mushroom-green, navy and maroon. Different hues are going to be worn by the lower ground staff, the cabin crew and the pursers,” Nomi tells Images.

“The shirt has a straight princess-cut and it’s paired with a tailored jacket that can be taken off. The straight pant that we showcased in the fashion show has been replaced by a narrow tailored shalwar. I have also devised the draping and pleating of the head-scarf so that it can be worn under the airhostess- cap, covering the head, and can also be wound round the neck.”

The print of the head-scarf is designed by Sania Maskatiya, taking inspiration from her ‘Uraan’ collection.

“The scarf is made with crepe and there are digitally-printed birds on it and a black and white geometric border,” says the designer. “We have three different colors, for different levels of the staff hierarchy. I have also designed the apron to be worn by the stewardesses and its design emulates my collection ‘Naqsh’. It has a sky-line etched onto it in digital print, featuring the Minaar-e-Pakistan and Quaid-e-Azam’s mausoleum.”

PIA spokesman Danyal Gilani admitted that when they shared a sneak peek of the new uniforms on Twitter, "the response hadn't been great."

Some people aren't too revved about the new uniforms.

But others are.

However, he feels the counter feedback is owing to the quality of the picture.

But that's not the only upgrade the new airline airline will see. PIA has also unveiled a new logo for the Premier flight:

Pretentious and bordering on vulgar .This is design at its worst . Tragic https://twitter.com/firouzeh_a/status/763090816365723649 …

Shiny designer-made uniforms are all well and good. It is true that the airline staff that represents Pakistan to the world should be well-dressed. But PIA needs so much more than just a peripheral revamp. A lot more new aircrafts and perhaps a new, more improved mindset is required. Come Independence Day this year, the PIA staff may be great to look at. But are they ‘great people to fly with’? Not yet.

Cant we replace "topi" with stylish dopatta?

 

[Moon]

The old dresses were much better.

Damn, you must be using PIA on a regular basis. I never knew it was so popular in India.

On the more serious note:
It's good PIA is changing and I hope for the better.
Albeit the over-employment problem facing these institutions remain a major hurdle in the way of success.

 

[WOW_FACTOR]

I loved the late 80's dressing style of air hostess you guys had. Dignified and pristine like Benazir Bhutto or the ladies in the house of "BAKRA KISHTO"

 

[The Sandman]

this looks so fazool yr seriously where is Green color in it? looks like qatar air ways

Left one (minus the topi) is super nice!
