The uniforms combine shapes and colours found in Istanbul Bosphorus with a new ‘flow detail’, created to symbolise the effortless and dynamic energy flowing through Turkey’s most dynamic city as an intersection between East and West”.

Ettore Bilotta, the fashion designer behind the uniforms said,

“When I started to design for Turkish Airlines, the first thing that inspired me was Istanbul.”

“This city has been a melting pot for art and civilisation for centuries and has a rare richness as a common heritage of many cultures.”

“I wanted to bring elements from traditional calligraphy and mosaics together with the new interpretations of Turkish motifs, which emphasize modern lines, into foulards and ties to reflect a contrast and duality.”

The designer has previously worked on cabin crew uniforms for Etihad and Alitalia.
