Zac Posen Is Designing for Delta
Rihanna, Katie Holmes, and Coco Rocha might be some of Zac Posen’s best clients, but there’s no way they’ll be caught in his latest offerings. The designer has been tapped to create new uniforms for about 30,000 of Delta Airlines’ 80,000 employees. “It is a dream come true to design for such an iconic American brand and I am always traveling,” Posen said at a press conference.
But while it might seem like a random collaboration for the Project Runway judge, many of Posen’s peers have dabbled in uniforming the service industry. Christian Lacroix made flight attendant suits for Air France, Nanette Lepore created mini dresses for cocktail waitresses, Prabal Gurung lent his talents to Sephora, and more. Here, the most arbitrary pairings of fashion and uniform.
