From 30 June 2008, Singapore Airlines’ male cabin crew will take on a fresh look, wearing a new uniform which will complement the legendary sarong kebaya worn by the Airlines’ female cabin crew.

The new male cabin crew uniform is the creation of veteran French fashion designer Christophe Galibert, artistic Director of Balmain Uniformes. The fashion house was appointed for the redesign of the uniform in 2006. Mr Galibert has also worked with the designer of the sarong kebaya, Mr Pierre Balmain, for more than 25 years.

The new uniform comprises a single-breasted navy blue suit (jacket and trousers), sky blue shirt and striped tie. The tie colour differentiates the four ranks of crew.

SUIT – The navy blue jacket and trousers complement the colour worn by the majority of the female crew on board (blue).
SHIRT – The sky blue shirt blends in beautifully with the navy blue jacket and aptly reflects the colour of the sky.
TIE – The tie colour is the differentiating factor among the ranks and closely follows the kebaya colours of the female crew. In addition, the various colours of the stripes on each tie were carefully designed by Balmain to match the fine details of the sarong kebaya print.
