This photo shows Air Hostesses Miss
Lily Sardar (standing) and Miss Naseem Feroze feeding pigeons in
Hyde Park, London. This uniform design was
created by Pakistani
dilettante Feroze Cowasji. Mr. Cowasji introduced this
design by making minor changes in 1950s uniform designed by
Laila Shahzada and Chausie Fountainer. The most obvious change in Mr. Cowasji's
design was further abbreviation of already slim folded dupatta.
This uniform design was used from
1960 to 1966 |
