I went to Stan Herman's today in Phoenix and left feeling good about the designer. He has won a lifetime award in the fashion industry and also the President of the Designers in New York. He asked us what we want to see in the uniforms and what we don't want to see.
1. First we covered the style, fabric and then went over the color.
2. Definetely no aviator shirts
3. We told him that we don't like the NO TIE look on men in the west. Women is okay, but definetely not the men.
4. He showed us a nice looking tie and he said he's going to play around with it. He's talking about the symphony of blues.
5. Definetely no frumpy looking uniforms. THey are going to be form fitting, classic and timeless.
6. Nice fabrics that are wrinkle-free
7. We told him that we want optional vests for both men and women. For summer and winter that can be layered with sweaters and jackets.
8. He told us that he doesn't like the fit of our jackets and our current uniforms because they are too squared and boxy.
9. Definetely no gray. He said it's a bad luck color and he just doesn't see it as a color for US Airways.
10. Some women like scarves and some don't. He said he's going to play around with it, so the top would look good with or without it.
11. He said red is a challenging color to work with and he doesn't want us to look like Delta, so "maybe" red is an optional accent color.
I think he's going to do a good job. We addressed our concerns and what we want to see in the uniforms.
