Malaysian Airlines(MAS) stewardess have an elegant kebaya design for their stewardess uniforms. I wonder who between Malaysian airlines and Singapore Airlines copied(drew inspiration) the kebaya idea from the other. I'm told the
Singapore Airlines Kebaya came way ahead from the Malaysian Airlines so MAS must have drawn some inspiration from SQ?
For those not in the know,
a Kebaya is a traditional blouse-dress combination worn by women in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Burma, Singapore, southern Thailand. Sort of like the traditional dress for the South East Asian peoples! And it looks good on their stewardesses too. Have a look at Singapore Airlines Flight Attendants in their kebaya. Here's how Royal Brunei Airlines draws some inspiration from the traditional dress to design an elegant cabin crew uniform. Thai Airways has a more Western look and Vietnam Airlines has an elegant fusion of traditional and Western look.
