Celebrates the unique culture of air travel, examining plane interiors, branding, food and fashion
This fascinating book examines every aspect of airline style, from the company liveries and interior designs of planes to advertising, haute couture and airborne haute cuisine.
Divided into four sections covering fashion, food, interior design and identity, Airline shows how airborne culture has changed since the 1920s.
The book spans the conservative to the outrageous, from saris to hotpants, from Hugh Hefner's private jet to the huge Airbus A380. A wide selection of retro styles are illustrated with illuminating archive material and images of ephemera. Airline uncovers the style, image and experience of the parallel universe that exists at 30,000 feet.
