Air New Zealand’s New Uniforms

January 10, 2010 – 6:06 pm by Andrew Paul Wood

Oh my Gawd! WTF?

They have gone from drab Thunderbirds in mourning by Zambesi, to a dress by Trelise “explosion in granny’s closet” Cooper that I swear I last saw on Dame Edna circa 1988.

Perhaps the American historian Robin Winks was correct. When he came here in 1953 on a Fulbright Scholarship, he came to the conclusion that the ubiquitous nature of school uniforms in NZ meant that we never learned how to dress ourselves.

Air NZ CEO Rob Fyfe (the best looking CEO of any major NZ enterprise, it must be said) should really ask himself “would I wear this?” No dear, you don’t have the legs.

Does this Boeing 747 400 make my arse look big?
