The very first PIA Air Hostess uniform design (1954 to 1956) represented threads of history and monarchy. It was a uniform that comprised of gray tweed jacket, skirt, blouse and a matching cap. It has long been associated with renowned national and international designers who have lent their workmanship towards the designing of the uniforms. And till date, Ms Riffat Yasmin’s three coloured shalwar kameez (Mustard, Sea Green and Rust) uniform is worn by the airhostesses with floral patterned dupatta.

They also put together their entire look with caps, shoes and other appropriate accessories for the ground and cabin crew.
These fifteen fashion maestros conjured up fabulous designs, selecting their color palettes and working on the minimalistic cuts and modest silhouettes to show-case their versions of the PIA uniform. And to judge these fine set of outfits and select the best among all, the PIA Uniform Fashion Showcase assembled a handful of notable personalities from the entertainment industry to lend their expertise and opinion. The judge’s panel consisted of Shakil Saigol, Seemi Iftikhar, Naz Mansha, Tariq Amin, Shehnaz Ismail, Rabiya Javeri & Zeba Bakhtiar.
