around Australia to raise funds for the RIDBC, as well as the annual and extremely popular Qantas Crew Revue.
UNIFORMS Like all fashion, Qantas cabin crew uniforms over the years have reflected both the tastes and social norms of the day. In 1938, the first male Qantas cabin crew dressed in white waiters' jackets when serving dinner to passengers. When female crew joined in 1947, fashion took a back seat to functionality, with a military style uniform. Over time, increasing emphasis has been placed not only on designing uniforms to look good, but to also allow our crew to perform their duties with ease. Peter Morrissey, in collaboration with Balarinji Design Studio, has been the designer of Qantas Cabin Crew uniforms since 2003. A new version of the uniform was launched to coincide with the arrival of the Qantas A380 in September 2008.
