FREE Webinar, Open to All

This month’s Dress & Drinks features the Flight Path Museum LAX in Los Angeles, California, the site of CSA’s 2025 Angels Project! Doris Darré, Uniforms Curator, will guide us through the exciting stories behind 20 years of airline uniforms. Doris brings a lifelong connection with aviation to her work as well as a surprising path to her current role. Jean-Christophe Dick joins us as President of the Museum!

Learn how airline uniforms reflect changing attitudes, evolving styles, and the once-glamorous appeal of air travel. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the collection to discover fascinating details like a uniform designed with a movable flap to discreetly cover the airline’s name while the hostess smoked or chewed gum.

Hear about unique and glamorous exhibits and objects, with more than 600 airline uniforms in the collection. Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast, a uniform fanatic, or want to learn more about how travel and design has changed through the decades at LAX, register at the link below!
