High fashion: How Cathay Pacific's uniforms have evolved through the ages

With a recent scandal over Cathay Pacific’s stewardess uniforms allegedly provoking in-flight sexual harassment, and Hong Kong's crackdown on in-flight sex pests, one man’s massive collection of air hostess attire should offer some perspective.

Cathay staff earlier this year complained that a uniform change, incorporating tighter skirts and short blouses, meant some attendants were showing off a bit too much flesh, especially when they had to bend down.

Now, thanks to a huge collection of air stewardess uniforms through the ages put together by enthusiast Cliff Muskiet, we can see exactly how Cathay Pacific's uniforms have evolved through the years - and why some may even view the most recent design as rather conservative.
